This is the sitcom that went up against "Friends"... and would've been just as popular and memorable had it not been for the actions of an alcoholic crime of passion. Every episode of this series is truly funny, even season 5 without Phil. I recommend this highly to anybody that needs AAA+ comedy in their life. RIP Phil 'Frankenstein' Hartman. You are Truly missed!!!

Along with Seinfeld this was my favorite sitcom growing up. The cast is top notch. There are a couple of Hartman / Lovitz (as guest star) episodes that are pure gold (hope Google adds these seasons). The show never recovered from Hartman's death, mainly because he provided the gravitational pull that brought all the other characters together and upon which they could build upon. It really is the example of the perfect sitcom.

This show was one of my favorites while it was running. I watched it again a couple of years ago and found even more to laugh at. Phil Hartman is comedy gold, Dave Foley and Maura Tierney were fantastic together, Andy Dick was hilariously ridiculous, and Stephen Root (this was the first time I had ever seen him) was perfect! The show is funny, smart, and definitely worth watching all the way through. Side note: Phil Hartman died while this show was still on the air. I am a huge SNL fan, and I have to admit, I teared up hearing about that. Phil was an amazing entertainer, and for a guy like me who grew up making friends with characters on TV, his passing hurt...a lot. The show handled his death with class, and kept it light and comedic. If you haven't seen this show, add it to your watch list. You will be happy you did.
