If I remember correctly, she was pretty darned hot on that show. Also, I seem to recall that show being not terrible. Not great, but not terrible either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-68155110057707675392007-04-26T22:20:00.000-04:002007-04-26T22:20:00.000-04:00The most bizarre but telling aspect of both "You W...The most bizarre but telling aspect of both "You Wish" and "Teen Angel." In attempts to raise the ratings, both did some retooling, and both apparently decided one vital ingredient was missing: Jerry Van Dyke as a grandfather! "You Wish" added him as the genie's magical grandfather, then when that show was canned, "Teen Angel" was retooled, suddenly replacing the single mom with a single dad, and adding Jerry as a non-magical grandpa. <BR/><BR/>And yes, it's sad that I know enough about the shows (or at least their opening scenes and titles, which made such changes obvious) to remember this. It just struck me as incredibly odd. I keep expecting that if another fantasy sitcom comes down the pike, it will be contractually obligated to add Jerry Van Dyke if ratings drop one iota.Andrew Lealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04536423892525694724noreply@blogger.com
