Yeah, wasn't it like a WB Married knockoff or something like that?

Also had Bobcat Goldthwait who was in a relationship with Nikki Cox for a while..
Yeah that was it.. I actually think it was created by a former producer/writer from 'Married'. But it's been a while, I could be remembering wrong.
The family basically had a Muppet living in their basement & they'd go down there & get crass advice etc.
Not a bad show, just kinda lacked the originality & charisma of Married..
WB had some decent comedies from that era.. Wayans Bros, Nick Freno, etc.

Elaine was the only one on the list that would make my top 6 picks….

Julia Louis Dreyfus (Elaine) - Seinfeld
Yvonne de Carlo (Lily) -The Munster
Jean Stapleton (Edith) - All in the Family
Roseanne Barr - Roseanne
Vera Farmiga (Norma Bates) - Bates Motel
Marissa Hargitay (Olivia) - Law & Order SVU

If it was a top 10 add all four Golden Girls :cool:

All of these characters would make my list. I liked Tami Taylor but only watched a couple seasons of FNL. Wasn't a fan of Kim Wexler though. I'd probably add Arya Stark especially from the early seasons. Some others I'd add are:
Kima Greggs - The Wire
Jaq - Top Boy
Joannie Stubbs - Deadwood
Dolores Abernathy - Westworld
Maeve - Westworld
Lori Madison - The Deuce
Jillian - Workaholics
April - Parks and Recreation
Roz - Frasier
Lucy - Trailer Park Boys

Probably forgetting a few.

Great answer

Lol none of my 6, off the top of my head, picks are poll options, but I guess one of the actresses is.

Lucielle Bluth/Mallory Archer (they are more or less the same character at a fundamental level)
Selina Meyer
Kim Wexler
Cersei Lannister
Leslie Knope
Olenna Tyrell

I think the general audience would be more receptive to it's 4th wall breaks, so yeah, I kind off agree.
There's a zillion ways they could go. The fact that it did break the fourth wall and the producers or audience "called out" the show at the end....that could play into it.

They could make fun of reboots while doing the reboot, they can even literally have Cybil and Bruce as themselves pass the torch or acknowledge a reboot. I know Bruce is not well but they can do something similar to Val Kilmer in Top Gun: Maverick or have him and his family Zoom with the leads.
