(2003) A ferret bite sends Mavis to the emergency room, where the hospital staff ignores her; Nasim and Jadwiga fight for control of the check-in desk while the rest of the staff is away.
This show is awesome, never heard of it until it popped up on YT. Better than any other comedy shows I've seen in years! But of course, it's Whoopi G!!
It's not that I'd consider this bad but it's just too formulaic. The acting is decent but the movie with CCH Pounder was 10x more profound and not a comedy. After seeing the movie, I simply cannot NOT compare the two. I wonder if this show would've made it more seasons if they had stuck to the "dark", dramatic tone of the original movie? Whoopi certainly has the acting chops to do a dramatic role. I remember watching this show because at the time Whoopi was considerer an A-list actress especially after doing Ghost. But at the time, I was younger and unaware that Bagdad Cafe was a movie that existed. About 10 years ago, I just turned on the t.v. one weekend afternoon and was flipping through the channels and it was on but the movie had already been on for about 20 minutes so I had no idea what the name of the movie was. But it was so captivating and I immediately recognized CCH Pounder from Law & Order and The Shield. So I Googled it. Anyway, whoever pitched this idea to the network kinda messed up. I think a lot of times shows look good on paper.
I agree with your analysis, which makes it an interesting gem.. The notion that a dark drama with some comedy could be fleshed out as a sitcom is fascinating.. It didn't work, and if deconstructed, gives it worth a look.. I saw it in the theatre, recommended by a friend, and it worked as collective effort, the plot, music, tone, dark elements, and endearing story..So funny how they thought it would work as a sitcom..and I recall reading it was Whoopi who had a hand in turning it into a TV show.. And how that got Jean Stapleton to sign on is such a mystery to me..Even bad TV is worth a look.
The entertainment industry turned against her when she became more political hence they cant stop here from being on tv but they can cancel her show and lowering rating which the amount of viewers dont control as they have enough money to keep ratings up without any viewers
2003 show that gets cancelled becomes a hit on CZcams in 2023.
I never saw this be for.i laugh so hard.
Because it's so good 💯.
No doubt some out of touch yt dude in a position of power cancelled it

I remember watching this Tuesday night with my mom when it first came out and then rewatched it on Hulu

Guess it was too real.
She said something about Pres. Bush, lost advertisers & the show wa s canceled.

They lost two good writers to other shows.
