Major Dad was a great sitcom, wholesome and amusing. It had family values and showed a proper family working things out, no matter what the obstacles. There were obstacles, much like real life, but as a family unit, they stuck together and pulled through them together. And yes, I laughed. Often. I have not spontaneously laughed, literally, for years. I just got Netflix a few months ago and I began watching it from the beginning and couldn't stop. It touched my heart and very much made me smile.
I noticed that the stories were declining a bit, losing a little steam as it went on and it made me sad but I still enjoyed it very much. I think Casey was one of my favorites. The BIGGEST star was the littlest actor. Some of her lines were a riot! The whole cast was great. Near the very end I saw a couple of inconsistencies though, where an idea or storyline was introduced and then not immediately followed through on. (It was easy for me to see. I loved it so much I was binging it, watching 3 or 4 or 5 episodes at a time.) But then suddenly it abruptly ENDED.
Rumor has it that a new head of something took over and immediately moved the show from Monday night to Friday. Put it in the graveyard, then wondered why it died. I love it when people decide for us what we can love and watch. Sherman Hemsley, it was reported, was eating breakfast at his table and picked up the morning paper and read that The Jefferson's had been cancelled. After 11 years, that's how he was treated. Read it in the paper. When THEY want a show dead, it dies. Major Dad died. That was a bad move. It was a very nice show. (Lack of reality? C'mon! What do you want? A sitcom, a laugh, to get away for awhile. Lighten up, don't be so cynical.) Major dad did what it was supposed to do, and it did it well. It was a great show, it was loved, and it is missed. This is Must-See TV. If you want something clean and fun, please try it. I'm glad I did.
