This is an OK show about a tennis pro who must go through life's challenges with her single mother, little sister, insecure brother and loud coach (William Devane).From what I remember, it's a light-hearted show, but not much to laugh about. The humor was just so-so and the acting was OK at best. Average writing and lesser entertainment from this sit-com. But, at least it's tolerable than much of the forced-humor and tasteless sitcoms dished out nowadays.Grade C
... View MoreI thought Phenom was great. It had snappy one liners, good scenes and characters and wasn't limited to 30 second clips of jokes to pad it out. I was at college at the time and around 25 and I still found it funny and fresh, and watchable on several levels. I've not seen it since either in repeats in the UK or on DVD or on satellite shows - which is a great sadness. We have Knight Rider and even Autocar (groan) which are played regularly and available on DVD. I've no idea ow many series were shown on TV but I'm sure they could fit on a single 2-disc release. Bring it back and bring it out on DVD. Todd Louiso is a hunk in it, too.
... View MoreThis was one of my alltime favorite television shows, yet I had to use iMDB because I forgot the title! Anyway, I absolutely loved this show! I remember many things from it.1. The time the borther waned to revolutionize travel by suspending people in mid-air and letting the Earth's rotation bring their destination to them.2. The time the brother was watching "Your Voice is Changing Charlie Brown" and Charlie Brown could be heard switching over to the womp-womp sounds that the Peanuts cartoons used for adults talking in mid-sentence.3. The time the little sister ate to much chocolate and went crazy running around the house.4. In the first episode, the little sister 'adopted' (sponsored) a large number of children with her mom's credit card so she wouldn't be lonely while her sister was away.This was and still is the greatest show ever made!
... View MoreThis was an awesome sitcom. If I had realized how short lived it would be at the time that it was on I would have gone to great pains to tape them all. As it is I only have two or three. It was just really well done: creative premise, very funny script, good actors, etc. > And if you ever get a chance to watch any of this great show, take it because you won't regret it! I am really surprised that some of the actors didn't go on to bigger things. I looked over their credits and they really have not done much since...except the aforementioned spots on Jerry McGuire, which I was pretty excited about when I saw :-). The little girl (Mary Margaret) especially was very good...so maybe she will pop up again somewhere. Anyway, I guess that is all. This was just a GREAT show.
