Jeff Foxworthy's Southern-fried stand-up routine resulted in yet another comic-as-sitcom-star show inspired by the success of 'Seinfeld.'

No one leaves much of an impression, except for the youngster who plays his son Matt: Haley Joel Osment.

Sensible Joe Hackett and his fun-loving brother, Brian, run a one-plane airline in this folksy ensemble sitcom. Their mutual friend (and on-again, off-again love interest for Joe) is Helen, who works the lunch counter while dreaming of being a cellist. Among their quirky coworkers: a dim-bulb maintenance man and Tony Shalhoub's Italian-immigrant cabbie. The series was produced by the same folks responsible for 'Cheers' and had a nice seven-year run.

Sitcom about aliens who look like earthlings and who observe human society from their vantage point of Rutherford, Ohio.

Marital angst fuels this urbane comedy about Manhattan newlyweds adjusting to life together. He's a restive documentary filmmaker; she's an impetuous public-relations executive.
