  • At an enormous party at the One-Two-One Club, John and Kate only want to hang out with a depressed Ralph.
    10/27/88
    Dear John is an American sitcom that aired on NBC from 1988 to 1992. The series was originally based on the British sitcom of the same name.
    Dear John starred Judd Hirsch as easygoing Drake Prep high school teacher John Lacey who is dumped by his wife, Wendy, via a Dear John letter. Wendy ends up with everything in the divorce settlement, including custody of the couple's son, forcing John to move into an apartment in Ozone Park, Queens.
    John soon joins the One-2-One Club, a self help group for divorced, widowed or lonely people. The group is led by Louise (Jane Carr), a sex-obsessed British woman. Other members of the group include Kate McCarron (Isabella Hofmann), a sweet divorcée; Kirk Morris (Jere Burns), a cocky ladies' man; Ralph Drang (Harry Groener), a shy and neurotic tollbooth collector; Bonnie Philbert (Billie Bird), a feisty senior citizen; and Tom, Mrs. Philbert's quiet boyfriend (Tom Willett).

    I caught this show when it first came out years ago. Now, for some odd reason, the theme song popped into me noggin and looked it up here on the tube. I watched every episode. Now I seem to have found "Harold" from The Red Green Show, ... which is none other than ... Ralph. LOVE both shows, just good stuff.

    I thought of this show for the first time in about 25-30 years for some reason, and I laughed out loud thinking of Ralph whining about being in the camper upside down for two days in the toilet. 11:08 the tale begins of when the drunks pushed it off a cliff and I couldn't stop laughing!

Google to the rescue with much searching and strange key words/bizarre searching. Now I can finally show this episode to them so they don't think I'm crazy.

      This is based on an British sitcom with the same name. The UK version (and about 6 episodes of this version, including this episode), was written by John Sullivan from South London, who wrote lots of other sitcoms that were very popular in the UK, such as Citizen Smith, Just Good Friends, and Only Fools And Horses, which, back in 2004, was ranked the best British sitcom ever.

    Great finish to the episode to make the call-back to Ralph's camper story at 11:00, with the reaction shots from John and Kate saying everything. I find lots of inspiration for my own writing from this show by John Sullivan, and tried using the same device in one of my pantomimes.

    If there is a blueprint on how to remake a sitcom by just not getting it this is it. There isn't an element of pathos in the whole thing yet it was the basic requirement that underlined the comedy in the original. This US version has reduced it to a succession of gags from a badly reinterpreted version of the original scripts and badly directed, the actors must have had a hell of a time to get anything out of it.

Our Swamp media is horrified by the press conference with Rudy Giuliani, Sydney Powell and others who exposed the massive voter fraud that inevitably fits the established pattern: all plot against Donald J Trump and the will of the people backfires to expose the corruption is high places in the Swamp and the propagossip panels, scripted covidsations and rabid bias of the Swamp media. ♥️🇺🇲♥️🇬🇧
