The thing that I will never forget about this show was the episode that had Alice Cooper move in next door to Gene Wilder's character. Wilder ended up partying with Cooper and at one point had Cooper's trademark makeup.
I am a big fan of Mr Wilder and just happened to tape some of the series but not all of them! They are trully great and hilarious! Hope they will soone come out on DVD!Like many of his later films they are not available on DVD -> what a pitty! They only run for 1 year and it shows they made 18 episodes total! This is the only way to watch later apperences of Mr Wilder apart for some tv movies! A great genious like he appeared also on two ep. in Darma&Greg -> wached it both and he is still funny guy!
I just love Gene Wilder and his talent! And this show I had taped and is funny and clever as watching his other pictures! it was aired in the 1990 here in Sweden so i dont know if I saw all of the episodes. To bad it was cancelled and now i cant buy a decent vhs copy of it or even a dvd. If you like Mr. Wilder than you should get this one and watch it! Highly recommended! Too bad he doesnt make any comedies anymore.
His the best!

I actually remember this show...fairly well, all things considered. OK, I was only 11 years old when it made its run, but my mother didn't find it funny, either. Not to diss on Gene Wilder. I wouldn't want to slam Gilda's husband too much, but I'd like to see him work on something successful again. I never was a huge fan of his (I guess I will be slamming Gilda's husband; sorry about that), but I'd like to see him take part in at least one more generally appreciated film. My parents are fans of his, though, and they really didn't like "Something Wilder." I remember it made the cover of the local "TV Guide." I wonder how...
I tuned in only for episode #14 "Hanging with Mr. Cooper": Gene is kept awake all night by his new noisy neighbors. Against his wife's advice, he heads over to the house to ask the owner to keep the noise down. He learns his new neighbor's name, Alice, but is unsuccessful at locating her at the party. He simply asks one of the guests to relay the message to keep the music down and returns home.
Sometime later he is again awakened by loud music. He returns determined to speak with Alice directly, but is surprised to find his neighbor is actually Alice Cooper. Alice and Gene works things out amicable and Gene returns to his wife's side to enjoy slumber in peace and quiet.
The fact that the promos revealed the surprise cameo shows how hard they tried to put some spark into this dull series. Look for Alice to use the opportunity to poke fun at himself as he did in Wayne's World, and in a recent commercial for Marriott Residence Inns, where he asks a father on the street, in full makeup, "You don't want your kids growing up weird, do you?"
