Well, moremojo, it looks like you and I are the only ones who remember the show. I'm surprised, it was so popular at the time. I used to have the 45 club mix ("Disco mix") of the theme song, I may still have it somewhere hidden in my stacks of vinyl.
Anyway, I watched the first 3 or four episodes of the DVD and I have to admit that I don't find the show as funny as I remember it being, lol! Also, the DVD is completely bare-bones which is unfortunate. It would have been nice to have some commentaries by some of the actors, Louise Lasser, Mary Kay Place, Martin Mull etc and the creator Norman Lear, if he's still alive.
