I absolutely love the McCarthy's, especially with the one & only Mr. Joseph Mulrey McIntyre. He's only been my #1 favorite from NKOTB since I was only 10 yrs old. Back 1987.

Why is it that the broadcast networks are not giving their comedies time enough to grow an audience? All in the Family, Seinfeld, etc all needed time. CBS cancelled this show after only 11 episodes. Even a great show like this needs time to find an audience. So sad...
