My buddy and I were at Universal Studios in CA and were recruited to go be in the audience of a TV show. They told us the title of the show was "The Bowmans." They put us in a bus and took us to the studio and then dropped us off back at the park about 3 hours later. It was pretty cool.What I remember most is Drew Carey. I knew who he was from his stand-up. The warm-up comedian was really stupid and no one was laughing. He had his girlfriend there and seemed to be trying to impress her. So after a bit, Drew Carey took over doing the comedy between takes and was hilarious!! I thought it was a shame the show got canceled.

Way too short of a run. They sure squeezed a load o' laughs into 13 episodes and I loved 'em all. One the biggest laughs ever came from this show when Tommy wanted to surprise himself with a gift he sent to himself. When asked how it could be a surprise, he explained: I pick some things I do like and some things I don't like in a catalog, copy the cat. #'s only down, jumble them up, pick one and order it. It shows up, he opens it and proceeds to grumble about what a piece of crap gift he just got. Then Drew takes it. Not too funny in my little synopsis, but it was great on the show. Wish I could see it again on DVD. The episode where John takes his son to the track on a school day is a riot too. And a note for the Drew fans out there that aren't familiar with this show. He was the cool guy that got the hot chickies, believe it or not---and he was a riot. I do happen to have the episode where his son's class visits the lock warehouse on "What My Dad Does For A Living Day." I'm desperate to get the rest of the shows. Hope to see the DVD someday.

We absolutely loved this show when it was aired and we were highly disappointed when the show was canceled. It was canceled right before it hit it's prime. I don't think the networks know what they are doing when they cancel shows such as this, even today. You just get used to something and wham! It's gone. The networks need to keep listening to the viewers as we the viewers ultimately make the choices, I believe. It is the viewers who keep the ratings. The Good Life was one of the most hilarious shows around, I never saw my husband laugh so hard in his life. I hope this comes out on DVD/VHS soon as we'd buy without hesitation.Thanks.

This show, while only on for a few months with 13 episodes, was one of the funniest sitcoms that I can remember. I was surprised when it was taken off the air. If anyone has any information on how I may be able to get a hold of tapes of this show, please email me (note: those "00" are zeros)
