Product Description
Description
Earning herself Emmy® and Golden Globe Award nominations for her portrayal of Nellie Ruth "Nell" Harper, Nell Carter brings this 1980s TV show to life. Gimme A Break! focuses on the spirited, but by no means typical, Kanisky family consisting of a widowed Police Chief father, his three daughters, ranging from grade-schooler to troublesome teen, and their vivacious housekeeper Nell. With her strong opinions and humorous maternal instincts, Nell's role extended far beyond that of a normal housekeeper, giving the sitcom its punchy premise. This DVD set of Gimme A Break!'s sophomore season contains all 22 episodes, a preview episode from the series' third season that introduces us to a pint-sized Joey Lawrence, as well as a bonus episode from the forthcoming Third Season DVD release of another feel good sitcom from the 80's - Kate & Allie.
Featuring guest appearances in its Second Season by Hollywood legend Don Rickles, musical act The Pointer Sisters, Michael Dudikoff (Cobra, the American Ninja films), Harrison Page (ER, Sledge Hammer!, Ally McBeal, JAG), Marcia Wallace (Match Game, The Bob Newhart Show, The Simpsons), Gimme A Break! is the dearly loved comedy that is chock-full of both wisecracks as well as tear-jerks. Bonus Material Gimme A Break!: Season Three - "Joey (Part I)" Originally Aired: Thursday October 27, 1983
Kate & Allie: Season Three - "The Reunion" Originally Aired: Monday September 30, 1985

Great family oriented DVD,

This is a great DVD for family viewing. Nel Carter is extremely funny and it is a refreshing change from the sitcoms that are out there today.

An excellent DVD set!,

This review is from: Gimme A Break!: The Complete Second Season (DVD)
If you're a fan of "Gimme a Break!", you will love this dvd set. The second season is full of funny episodes. VEI did an incredible job of putting this together. They even added a bonus episode from Season 3 introducing the character of Joey. There is also an episode from Kate & Allie which is now available in Seasons 1-4 from VEI.
I hope to see Season 3 released in the near future.

Two Thumbs Up For Nell and the Gang,
By kermit68 (Elko, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gimme A Break!: The Complete Second Season (DVD)
I haven't seen this show since I was 14 and seeing it now is like seeing it again for the first time. However, the show is even funnier than I remember. The crazy cop, Simpson and Grandpa and Swackhammer are some of my favourite guest characters on the episodes. It is almost addicting to watch and I find myself even singing the theme song. I was saddened to hear of Nell Carter's passing in 2003. She was such a talented lady. I'm sure if any tv stations started to air reruns of Gimme A Break -- the show would experience a resurgence in popularity.
