OllieSuave-007 This is an OK show about a tennis pro who must go through life's challenges with her single mother, little sister, insecure brother and loud coach (William Devane).From what I remember, it's a light-hearted show, but not much to laugh about. The humor was just so-so and the acting was OK at best. Average writing and lesser entertainment from this sit-com. But, at least it's tolerable than much of the forced-humor and tasteless sitcoms dished out nowadays.Grade C

RavenGlamDVDCollector Years ago, back in 1994, I didn't set out to watch this. Waiting for other stuff, with my VCR poised and ready, I encountered this. And watched some of it. Cut to the present, I am RavenGlamDVDCollector, and I am trying to recollect the pretty-girl TV shows I have seen during my life. Oh, yeah, there was a show I didn't actually watch, there was a Mom in it, she had a tennis-playing daughter and a crazy goofy boy. But what the hell was the show's name? I have to admit, I had forgotten.It took perusing through a stack of 22 year old TV guides to bring to light the name, and when found, it's kinda self- explanatory, the title is kinda unusual. Gee, Judith Light, I had forgotten about her. But even if I had seen her credited for something named PHENOM on Wikipedia, it wouldn't even have rung a bell. Fortunately the old TV Guide mentioned 'tennis-playing daughter' and my quest for anything I might have forgotten was instantly rewarded.Sadly, it's a 1.22 case, a single season, 22 episodes, =failed TV show, the execs wouldn't green-light an apparently failed TV show for DVD release, even if some people remember it fondly. There are like fourteen reviews here, 23 years later? You do the math. Life just ain't fair, this show had a lot of promise. It was head and shoulders above a slew of junk being telecast in prime-time on South African M-Net, Mondays at 18h30, but it is gone and forgotten, and that's very sad. And all my nagging is stuck here in this Lonely Outpost where few, if any, would ever visit.Not even a downloadable segment of it. It's just a vague memory now. Sigh.

drep681 HA! Thats funny because the only episode of this show that I remember was the one where she was learning how to kiss. If I recall she paid some boy to help her learn and then her boyfriend walked in on them. Funny. I was only 11 when this show aired, and I loved it! Weird though that I don't even remember Judith Light being in it, and you think I would, being I was such a big fan of Whos the Boss. All these years later I can still remember EXACTLY what the main character of this show looked like. I think it was probably very cheesy, considering I like it when I was 11, but thats how most shows were back then. I miss shows like this these days!

philzrule It still drives me nuts that they canceled this show after a year, just b/c it didn't keep all of Who's the Boss's audience. If I'm not mistaken, it was somewhere in the early 30s in the ratings. Earl and Office didn't get that high last year and they're both considered hits. Unreal. Brian Doolan remains one of my favorite television characters of all time, right up there with Alex P. Keaton and Detective Frank Pemblemton. Weird company, I know. But I'm glad to see that he's still getting work, he was the best part of SoaP. The most memorable episode I can think of is when Brian became the security guard at Angela's tennis camp. It was one of the few episodes that focused on him, and I found it hysterical. I still laugh just thinking of it. Please, oh please, put it out on DVD!
