Bless this House | CBS | 1995

September 1995 - January 1996
CBS | 16 episodes | Sitcom


WHO'S IN IT? Andrew Dice Clay and Cathy Moriarty

SYNOPSIS: A sarcastic postal worker and his equally snarky wife raise their kids in small apartment in New Jersey. 

In the first episode, the couple go house-hunting and are asked by a rude realtor: "have you ever lived in a house?"
"No, I grew up in a cardboard box" Burt (Dice Clay) snaps back, segueing into the next scene where he drinks from a bidet, thinking it's a water fountain.

VERDICT: Typical kind of sitcom where the family are snapping at each other, but by the end of the episode everything is ok. Very Roseanne, King of Queens, etc. Not horrible, not spectacular. In 2002, TV Guide ranked Bless This House number 48 on their 50 Worst Shows of All Time.

CANCELLED BEFORE ITS TIME? Maybe not.
