So I would recommend a re-visit to those who like me, remember it for the wrong reasons. But there's also a warmth to it with its rather unique storyline and a has a very likeable main cast. Overall lame ducks isn't brilliant, and in some places it is a little (excuse the Pun) Lame. Her timing and delivery of the jokes was as good and the old pros. I was also surprised by how good Loraine Chase was in it. Plus the 3rd episode is when Brian Murphy joins the cast as the germaphobe private eye. The eccentric characters become more 3 dimensional and along with the comedy theirs some pathos. But the series really gets better by the 3rd episode. Unfortunately during some of the early episodes some of the laughs seemed a little flat. But on the plus side the actual main cast were pretty good and the script and storylines were interesting. On the down side the performances from the minor characters were very hit and miss, and the direction seemed very lazy. Jump forward 36 years and I tracked down both series and decided to give them a watch. That might be why Its never really been repeated, But I also remember finding not very funny. I mostly remember this 80's sit com due to the fact that at 14 I had a bit of a teenage crush on Loraine Chase. ![]()
