davidplunkett Review of Room for Two

Room for Two (1992– )

Excellent, subtle, well-written comedy -- Still mourning it's demise

[10/10 · 10 August 2012]

Linda Lavin and Patricia Heaton made an excellent pair in this ABC-TV comedy that should have been given more support for success. It has been 19 years since ROOM FOR TWO left the air, yet I still remember it fondly, and for good reason. Lavin and Heaton's antics were funny, believable and had great potential; added into the mix of characters was Edie Kurland's single male neighbor (who lived across the hall from Lavin's character Edie), Ken Kazurinsky, and a couple of potential long-term romantic interests for Jill (Heaton's character). I guess every sitcom cannot become a top 10 hit, but this is one I'll always lament leaving us so early.
