I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Beautiful, moving film.

Admirable film.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

I just watched a couple episodes tonight on YouTube, I didn't even know the series existed! I thought it was pretty good but something seemed a little off to me-it was that I didn't like the Tony Shaloub character. He was a little bit too egocentric and mean. I usually adore Tony Shaloub in anything, I just didn't like the character to have so little sensitivity. I would watch him progress through a scene, and I KNEW that there were so many other layers which he could have given the character. I suppose I expected more of the sweetness of Antonio from Wings, or the complexity of Monk. Regardless, overall a good show. It's really interesting to read the comments here from back, what is it REALLY 17 years ago???? People wondering if Neal Patrick Harris will go on to do anything more, I guess all he'd done was Doogie Howser M.D. Also I note as I get older how quickly that which interests us and is the talk of the time fades into the past......Also interesting to see people commenting on Shaloub before 'Monk'. Along those lines of thought, just read today that Mary Tyler Moore has died at the age of 80, and Debbie Reynolds/Carrie Fisher just died a few weeks ago.....People who were such icons....Who even thinks about the Mary Tyler Moore show nowadays, everything changes so quickly in our society. It's not like societies in which there is little cultural/technological/societal change for hundreds of years, or one in which the tribes stories are told from generation to generation with a kind of continuity and sense of reassurance that the 'tribe' is stable and the same. Loss of a sense of conectedness...."Future Shock": I remember a time before personal computers, before cell phones, digital cameras, before color TV, before VCR's, DVD's, and I remember when TV shows/movies etc. took their time to unfold, with a rhythm which was much more natural.

Chemistry is good. Shalhoub is brilliant but the lack of women had turned this into a no-no for the major audience. The best scene that i remember is Neal Patrick and his pregnant cousin playing a prank on Shalhoub .... she gives birth on Halloween to a monster ... fake of course .... u have to see the rest ... but needless to say it generated enough laughter beating all the other sitcoms i have watched including Friends but excluding Coupling on BBC.Other scenes include a diary entry by shalhoubs roomy/secretary...a goofy idiotic guy usually found only in sitcoms .It goes " My Computer usage has increased.....maybe in the future a network of these computers can be used to share information ....This world wide web of computers may become the way of communication in the future...mail could be sent electronically..."it continues in this vein...so shalhoub who is reading the diary asks the guy what happened as he had invented the internet before anybody else....then looks at the next entry ...."Smoked POT for the first time". "Smoked Pot" "Smoked Pot" "Smoked Pot" "Used computer to hide Pot"Watchit if u can

I think "Stark Raving Mad" was a great and funny show and it's sad that it's no longer on TV.I only saw a couple of episodes and I really enjoyed them. "The Hypnotist" was one of my favorites, it was hilarious :) And especially I liked "He's Gotta Have It." The girls (Missy and Clare, guest stars Andrea Savage and Molly Weber) who ate Jake's cookies (or what were they?) at Tess's birthday party were so nice!! Yesh!!

This is one of the best Comedy-Series of all times. Tony Shalhoub as writer Ian Stark is brilliant, also Neil Patrik Harris, star of "Dougie Howser", as his lector. The difference between both makes this comedy so funny. Don't miss it!
