- TriviaCasting director Sheila Guthrie recommended that the creators of Frasier (1993) should invent a part for David Hyde Pierce in part because of his physical resemblance to Kelsey Grammer. She left them with tapes of this series, and they were so dazzled by his performance that they devised the role of Niles Crane explicitly for him.

Featured review
This delightful comedy broad-casted in the 90's, was one of the best comedies since "I Love Lucy". It is a shame to think that it might be lost in the archives forever. How do we convince Columbia Pictures Television (Production) and Sony Pictures Television (Distributors) to release it again? This is an American political delight! Anybody with a suggestion? Who's rubber arm can we twist (",). So many television shows are available on DVD - why not this one? This series will share the the lime light with shows like "The Golden Girls". Margaret, the senator's wife played by Holland Taylor, brings a comical British Aristocracy like flavor to the screen. Something different than the usual shallow comedies that we see these days. This should not be lost to our children. This one of the rare ones!
