Jackie and Sarah Rush are two grown sisters who live in half of a duplex. Their parents, Henry and Muriel, live in the other half. Though one might think this proximity may be fun, both sides often feel that it's "too close for comfort", in this half-hour situation comedy.

Henry's Change of Life

Sat, Apr 5, 1986

Big changes for the Rush family. The girls have left home. The Rushes sold their old house & moved to Mill Valley, CA. Henry ended Cosmic Cow and bought a 49% share in a local newspaper, The Marin Bugler and will be its editor. Owner, Hope Stinson, has 51% and makes that clear to Henry. Can he work with this demanding woman or did he made a mistake in changing his and Muriel's lives or will it all work out? Monroe gets a job as Henry's assistant.

The good: I'm not the only one...

The good: I'm not the only one with serious squeaky-shoe problems. The bad: That puts me in the same class as Larry, which is never a good thing by any standard. I'm also not the only one who likes the idea of a mezuzah on the door, even though I always forget what it's for, exactly (something about reminding us of God's presence). Moving on, how can Larry not already know Cheryl's bra size? And is Jeff the first person in TV history to use the word "farkakteh" on the air? I'm betting yes. This I'm sure of, however: When my wife spotted Too Close for Comfort's Lydia Cornell as the bra saleswoman, she nearly plotzed.

Politically Incorrect

9 Seasons

Political talk show based on the idea that debate is stifled by too much seriousness. Guests are chosen from the worlds of politics and entertainment, often with the goal of creating conflict (ultra-sensitive special-interest groups matched with outrageous comedians). Nevertheless, a relatively friendly atmosphere is maintained, with none of the swearing or chair-throwing common on 'shock-talk' shows. Regular features have included the "Get Over Yourself" award, given to the week's most self-absorbed public figure.
