I'm young and have never seen this because I was born right after this. But Dweezil is in my top 5 list of favorite guitar players. Damn I need to find the rest of these.
I watched every episode of this show and was sad that it didn't survive the summer. It aired before "Sydney", a sitcom with Valerie Bertinelli as a detective, so yeah, was addicted to this hour of television, truly. Moderately funny shows but I knew they didn't have the kick or zaniness that would endure to a 2nd season - besides, these shows aired against "Growing Pains" "Head of the Class" and NBC's powerhouse "Unsolved Mysteries", so yeah, couldn't win.
Ya know? I was thinking, where's Laverne, Lenny & Suiqqy and Barney Miller when ya need'em? I could picture Laverne saying this: "Shirl? Where the hell are your children from? Mars or Venus?" Capt. Barney Miller: "Wojo? Who the hell are they? Your children or aliens from another world?"
Normal Life from the Producers of ALF, The Blues Brothers, Ghostbusters, NewsRadio, The Jeff Foxworthy Show, The Naked Truth, The Steve Harvey Show and Just Shoot Me and from the Co-Producer of The Royal Family Dweezil & Moon Unit Zappa teaming with ½ of Laverne & Shirley and Wojo from Barney Miller I remember this show very well when I was in the 3rd Grade This show aired on Wednesday Nights at 8/7 Central followed by Sydney with Valerie Bertinelli of One Day at a Time Fame and then both shows switched times on the same nights The problem with both Normal Life and Sydney was that both shows were up against NBC's Hit Series Unsolved Mysteries and abc's Wednesday Night Duo of Growing Pains and Head of the Class I guess you can say that the Zappas and Valerie were no match for the likes of Robert Stack, The Seavers and Charlie Moore aka Dr. Johnny Fever on WKRP
I forgot what a fantastic guitar player Dweezil Zappa was/is...his inspiration is most definitely Eddie Van Halen.. Thanx for posting this sadly forgotten tv show!
You have to be great to play his father's work lol Dweezil has very good albums with no Zappa stuff but it's beautiful that he also loves his father and his father's work so much.
This show had so much heart. We had some legends to help balance the newcomers. I was a big fan of Frank Zappa. When I found out his kids had a TV show, I was immediately a fan. I'm off, I have a vegetable to call.
The great thing about all are old Canadian Kid Show hosts (UB, Friendly Giant, Mr Dressup etc ) ...they never Fucked the Kids, unlike those Brits. 🧟♂🦄🍆💦
the zappas are always interesting, but, man, this show sucks. crappy, cheesy writing and subpar performances...I see why it was cancelled almost before it began.
