Quality Truck

It wasn't horrendous, but a product of its time. The mothers-in-law were over the top, the husbands were background props and the young couple were sterotypical for tv sitcoms. Both lead ladies were funny, though.

This is an absolutely unforgettable movie. How it flew under the radar is a shame. I recommend it to everyone. Brilliant story and acting.

Yes. It was a ridiculous premise and the show was cringe-worthy. They were just being kind to Jerry VanDyke because of his brother.

Like so many shows with a good premise, once it finds its audience the writers get lost (no pun intended). Instead of staying the course and having a goal, they tend to add more characters, sub-plots and twists that give the audience burn-out. I don't want a show that requires a flow chart to keep track of plot lines and character relationships. The pilot had a hook and a hint of a story- after that it was just a doing whatever to stay on the air. It became a Marvel interpretation of 'Lost'.

This movie was hysterical- right up there with 'A Christmas Story' for re-imagining life as a kid at that point in time. Why it's not on DVD is a mystery because I would definitely make it part of my collection.

SCARY REAL...CONSIDERING HOW FAR WE'VE COME SINCE THIS WAS MADE, NOTHING WOULD SURPRISE ME.
