Subject: 'Unhappily Ever After' - the sitcom

Written By: singer on 08/01/12 at 9:52 am

Is it me or was that show a cross between 'ALF' and 'Married with Children'? I saw it recently and even the house look vaguely similar to the house on 'Married with Children'. And, of course, the rabbit doll seems like a cheaper version of ALF.

You hit the nail right on the head with the ALF + Married reference.

I liked the show.  TV Guide once ranked it in their Top 50 of worst shows of all time, but it ran 100 episodes over 5 seasons.  Someone was watching it, and I was one of those someones.

Did I watch it for it's humour?  Yes
Did I watch because it was like Married ... With Children?  Yes

Did I watch it because of Nikki Cox? 

YES!

I remember it was on the WB network from 1995-99 or thereabouts. I never watched a full episode of it but it did have its moments.

I did read somewhere that it was created by the same people who created "Married w/ Children". So it does sorta make sense in that regard.

Yeah, that puppet...whose name was Mr. Floppy. At first I wondered what kind of animal (if not an alien) he was supposed to be. And I also noticed he only talked in scenes in which Jack Molloy was the only human. If any other people were present, Floppy was just an inanimate object.

Floppy was a rabbit and yes only Jack could talk to him. It was like a Calvin and Hobbes thing. Look up the show on wikipedia; it's nothing like MWC. The writters had the plots all over the place. I watched it and it was almost hard to follow from one episode to the next. Speaking of WB's Friday primetime, remember Nick Freno: Liscensed Teacher?

Very much so.

I remember Floppy.
And he was voiced off-camera by comedic actor Bobcat Goldthwait.

I haven't seen that show since the 90s. I thought the rabbit was cool as hell. LOL!

They used Ray Charles song as their theme song.

Yes, his 1961 hit "Hit The Road Jack"...which made sense in context since Jack was the name of the patriarch character (played by actor Geoff Pierson).

It was very similar to Married....With Children only the kid's roles are reversed with the boy being stupid and the girl being as sharp as a nail.
