Trivia
Suzanne Pleshette was originally going to play Jonathan Silverman's character's mother in six episodes. However, due to some writers changing the character to a stereotypical Jewish mother that was a shrew, Pleshette told the producers that she was only going to do the three that she had already done. Being Jewish herself, she took offense to the changes in the character.

quite a funny show

This show is quite funny, although it can become a little predictable with the jokes of the other cast members. Silverman plays a struggling writer in NYC and trying to find love at the same time. He can't seem to do both at once. Just recently I've become a regular watcher and seem to be wishing that he gets it on with the girls in each episode! Watch out for Ernest Borgnine as an apartment worker!
