A Short-Runner American sitcom that has two brothers (Jason Alexander and John Bolger) living together in the same home, despite their many differences in life.
The show also starred Gina Hecht, Tony Deacon Nittoli, and Anne Jackson.
The series is notable for having Jason Alexander as the lead before being cast on Seinfeld.
It aired on CBS from October 3 to November 7, 1987.
Tropes for the series:
- Big Apple Sauce: The show stakes place in lower Manhattan.
- Chick Magnet: Scott is shown to have a lot of dates with women, to the point of having at least three dates with the name Serena.
- Shout-Out: The title "The Mom Who Came to Dinner" is this to the 1942 movie The Man Who Came to Dinner.
- Sibling Triangle: In one episode, both brothers have feelings for the same woman named Sheila, who starts dating Julian while she had previously dated Scott years earlier, who still has some feelings for her.
