Once things started rolling around season 3, that show was top freaking notch in every measurable way. It's a shame it had to be overshadowed by Seinfeld and Friends, because realistically it could have been a flagship show if it had the chance.
NBC sure KNEW how to roll out the sitcoms.
FYP
It was well know that show was written as a play, not a sitcom. The lighting, the feel-it was different and great.
Grammer/Pierce/Mahoney (dad) all had extensive theater experience [Reply]
The reason I remember that so much was that was the night my first kid was born. We were in the hospital, wife was puking and I was watching that. She is still mad to this day about that.
That was 23 years ago last week.

Even better
- I think I've had this conversation here before, but if you like this genre of stage play turning into comedic farce, you owe it to yourself to track down 'Noises Off' - won't say more except it's a ton of fun.

Currently watching more KOQ. They have reruns every night and it is a joy. Whoever did the writing for this show was a genius.
The first few seasons, Leah Remini was pretty hot. I think Kevin James was one of the main writers for KoQ, and is a pretty funny guy who has that loveable everyman dope-act down pat. Too bad that I hear he's kind of an @$$hole in real life.
