Unhappily Ever After (1995–1999)
7/10
Did Harvey talk to Jimmy Stewart this way?
20 June 2017
Ever since the film Harvey came out the six foot talking rabbit was left to our imaginations. I do wonder though did Mary Chase writing Harvey ever in our wildest dreams think that Harvey would be something on the order of Bobcat Goldthwaite.

There's no doubt that the Malloys of Unhappily Ever After were modeled somewhat on the Bundys of Married With Children. Nikki Cox was as gorgeous as Kelly Bundy, but as Tiffany Malloy she was a straight-A student who never gave it up, but loved seeing the male of the species drooling when she wore those short tight skirts. Kevin Connolly who later was part of Entourage took out a patent on playing socially inept young men. Ross Berfield who later was one of Frankie Muniz's brothers in Malcolm In The Middle got a few zingers in.

The comedy centered around Geoff Pierson who I thought was wonderful as the cynical Jack Malloy. He made Al Bundy look as optimistic as Mary Poppins. It was he who went down to the basement to use Mr. Floppy the rabbit as his sounding board on the issues of life. And Bobcat Goldthwaite told him as only Bobcat could.

Inexplicably they wrote out the mother Stephanie Hodge in the last season. They never really developed her character so it wasn't really missed in that last season.

It was Pierson and Mr. Floppy that really made the show. Would that Al Bundy had a pal like him.
