Little did mary page keller know this would be the longest running show she would have. After this she would be destined to star in shows on abc cancelled after one season.
If producers kept the couple singing,there would have been an entirely different visual montage. This is technically the original season 2 opener with a new theme and the addition of newcomer Ginger Orsi.
A writers' strike delayed the start of the 1988-89 televison season. Bill Cosby was still King of the network airwaves and stand-up comic Roseanne Barr rose to superstardom with her ABC sitcom ROSEANNE. The most interesting televison children/babies of 1988-89 are Amanda Phillips from this series and newborn twins Winnie and Nelson Tibidaux from NBC's The Cosby Show.
also, Bill Cosby and Roseanne had 1 thing in common: You guessed it Carsey-Werner Carsey-Werner had 3 sitcoms in the Nielsen Ratings Top 3 The Cosby Show at #1 for the 4th consecutive year, Roseanne (TV's #1 NEW Comedy of the Season) at #2 and of course, A Different World-The spin-off of The Cosby Show (which got retooled thanks to Cosby's Good Friend Debbie Allen taking over as Producer and Director of the series) at #3 and plus, it was the #1 Comedy among Black Households NBC had 5 sitcoms in the Top 10 The Cosby Show, A Different World, Cheers which were still Must See TV's 1-2-3 Knockout Punch and Saturday Night Juggernauts The Golden Girls and the spin-off Empty Nest Plus HUNTER with Fred Dryer and Stepfanie Kramer CRACKED the Nielsen Ratings Top 20 and even with the writers strike, it didn't affect NBC from dominating Prime Time Television as they were once again THE #1 Network on Television with abc at #2 thanks to Roseanne, Who's the Boss? Growing Pains, Head of the Class and Anything But Love and many others as for CBS, they were in 3rd place as they had only 5 shows in the Top 30 Dallas, Knots Landing and the CBS Sunday Movie and Sunday Night's 1-2 Punch in the Sunday Night Juggernaut 60 Minutes and Prime Time's #1 Drama Murder, She Wrote
This is season 3,1988-89,the very last. Brass,bass,keyboards and percussion this time. No Bobby McFerrin. This season introduced Ginger Orsi as Amanda Phillips,Richard's and Linda's toddler daughter. Amanda was born right around the end of the second season. It was written that newly married Ben and Laura Kelly Coleman had gone on a two-year honeymoon,returning in the season 3 premiere.
Is there an episode of Duet where Ben is stuck in some type a basement where he is scared of some electrical box, or propane canisters, he squats on top of a table, what is the name of that episode? I would like to see it ?
DuetFan... As much a fan as you should be, it amazes me that you mislabeled this intro "Second Version". This is actually the THIRD intro (from the 3rd and final season), but using the (God-awful) SECOND version of the *THEME SONG.*
now "this version was the 1 I always played in my head...especially at summer camp....this is when I first heard of the show....but I love every version 😁😁😁😁
