Whenever the dad from this show appeared on Dexter, I liked to imagine it was the same guy

I actually enjoyed the spin off with her character and her husband as a low level indy wrestler and u had guest roles with Macho Man and Kevin Nash. But yea there was only ever a singular reason to watch Do you mean Nikki? I think that was a completely unrelated show. Her name on UEA was Tiffany. I kind of liked how they had her and brother on the show basically be Kelly and Bud Bundy if Kelly and Bud swapped brains.

Yea that is what I was thinking of I had always just assumed it was a spin off or was intended to be because she is basically the same character.

I still remember the dad telling the son “Never compete with a girl. If you win all you did was beat a girl, if you lose, you’ve lost to a girl. It’s no win” Yeah it’s sexist, but whatever. It’s funny. The one I remember best is the dad giving Nikki driving lessons. There is a ref early in the ep to the son having had a “Tricycle accident” as a kid, and when he tries driving he hit a cat (with over the top meow noise) and he gets a spaced out look on his face and starts going “Tee dee dee dee, tee dee dee,”. For some reason that is still funny to me.

She asks him if he’d like to take a shower and he says “Naw, I’m not even sweaty” or something to that effect.

I remember really liking it as a kid who was probably too young to actually "get it", but I'd bet it hasn't aged well.

I liked it well enough. It's weird to say something lacked the nuance of Al Bundy, but if the shoe fits.... I liked The War at Home better. I couldn't get into that one because Michael Rappaport just came across like he was going to kill his family rather than any kind of "begrudging love" like this show, Married with Children, or Grounded for Life went for.

The one thing to be said for The War At Home was that it at least gave Rami Malak his first little bit of shine as a recurring character.

one of my alltime favorite shows, I wish they'd release it on DVD. Everyone I know looks at me like I imagined it when I bring this show up I actually just rewatched this a couple years ago from start to finish. Nikki Cox back then was quite possibly the sexiest woman in the history of women. I don't know why she got all that shitty work done. Imagine how hot she'd be as a MILF if she hadn't gotten all that shit done to her. Oh, and the show is hilarious too. The fact that this isn't available anywhere on DVD, streaming, iTunes, etc. should be a crime. It's a lost classic. Will YouTube count?

I remember this show went totally off the rails rather quick.
Even without the bunny, it was nuts.
The parents divorced but then got back together, but then the wife died, then she became a ghost to haunt him, and one day she’s just alive again

I never knew this show was from the same producers as Married with Children. I just thought it was a bad MWC ripoff.

Found the original open...I think the change to Hit The Road, Jack was for the better.
