| The Gimme A Break(1981 - 1987) Appreciation Thread! Another 80's sitcom I loved. ![]() Gimme A Break starred Nell Carter as Nell Harper, a live in housekeeper to Chief Carl Kanisky(Dolph Sweet), a widower, and his three daughters, Katie, Julie, and Samantha(Sam). Joey Lawrence joined the show in season 3. Future "Weekend At Bernie's" star, Jonathan Silverman, also joined the show along the way. ![]() ![]() Last edited by Barrybgb; 04-23-2011 at 02:54 PM. | |||

| It was something like the real early 90's since it aired here. It went off the air and was never seen again here. I loved this one growing up. So glad it finally came to DVD. It was like walking down memory lane. I wished they would release the other seasons. | |||

| Wow. Surprised to see this one I started pop back up. It didn't seem to be too popular. Lol. Thanks for the link. I need more GAB. I wished they would release more seasons on DVD!. | |||

| Oh, but it was so popular back in the day. Yeah, I watched 47 of the 65 shows listed on this board , so this bump was pretty random. Wish I remembered more on an episodic basis. Seems like there were so many shows ("Mr. Belvedere", anyone?) with the live-in housekeeper as the main character.__________________ "It is a theme party at Steve's fraternity." | |||

| Another show that went one season on DVD and then nothing. I loved this show. I need more seasons. I know they have released more seasons in Canada, but I don't feel like crossing the border to get them. Lol. __________________ Relive Or Discover The Most Magical Decade.

| It's kind of odd. An American show puts out one season and it does not sell well. Yet, the seasons and a series set are released in Canada?. __________________ Relive Or Discover The Most Magical Decade. The 80s. http://www.fanforum.com/f129/ On Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/barrybgb | |||

| I guess Canadians just love Nell and her adventures more than Americans. Lol. __________________ Relive Or Discover The Most Magical Decade. The 80s. http://www.fanforum.com/f129/ On Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/barrybgb | |||

| It's possible. I've seen a few shows halted for years because of poor sales and then they start coming out again. __________________ Relive Or Discover The Most Magical Decade. The 80s. http://www.fanforum.com/f129/ On Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/barrybgb | |||
