This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
View MoreWhile it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
View MoreThis is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
I would say this show deserves special recognition in tv history. It totally was ahead of its time; it would have been a hit in like 1971 or so. cbs was the worst network for it. it was brilliant. next time you are watching one of the thousands of idiotic shows on tv with no humanity and no good acting; think of this. i doubt it is on dvd, but it must be somewhere. it is truly unique. how many shows had outstanding writing, direction, acting romantic and acting chemistry. jack cassidy was insanely watchable.
View MoreIf you research CBS's fall schedule in 1967-68, they placed this show in a terrible time slot. "He & She" was out-of-place on the network to begin with, which, at the time was loaded with rural sitcoms. I believe this show was on right after "Green Acres." It was an adult type show that deserved to be on Saturday nights, perhaps following a classic, like "The Jackie Gleason Show." Jack Cassidy definitely was a pre-Ted Baxter and Paula Prentiss and Richard Benjamin were a post Rob & Laura. This show was filmed in front of a live audience and most shows back then were not. It was a shame. CBS never gave this show a chance and it was years ahead of its time. When the network purged all of their rural sitcoms in 1971, they should have brought this gem back, first in re-runs, and then new production starting right after. TV Land did re-run an episode or two, but for the most part, nobody has seen this show since it left the airwaves in 1968.
View MoreSomeone should rerun "He & She" on a regular basis (are you listening, TV Land?) because it's one of the true underrated gems in TV sitcom history. The cast and the writing are all first-rate, and it's one of the few sitcoms of the '60s to be filmed in front of a live studio audience, which means there's no annoying laugh track. It really is a forerunner of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "Cheers", and perhaps it came along too soon. But it's a witty, intelligent show that tried to do something different. I've caught a few episodes of it here and there. (TV Land used to run an occasional episode every once in a while, usually part of a "box set" of shows with a common theme.) "He & She" deserves to be seen again.
View MoreI was only 9 when this was on but I remember it very well. It was one of those true comedies that just flowed so well and was funny naturally. I mean that it is like "Mad about You" in that it got it's humour from real life married situations. One of first true universal comedies on TV.The chemistry between real life husband & wife Richard Benjaman and Paula Prentiss is a marvel to watch. Then you add in a cast of characters, leading off with the hilarious Jack Cassidy (father of David) and you get a classic sitcom that for some stupid reason did not get renewed for a second season. WHY NOT??EMMY nominated for Best Actor In A Comedy-Benjaman, Best Actress In A Comedy-Prentiss, Best Supporting Actor In A Comedy-Cassidy and two Best Comedy Writing Emmys(got one).It would not have been nominated if it wasn't good people. I only hope that I get the chance, as well as others, to see it once again and it get the praise it deserves. Definitely ahead of it's time. WATCH IT!!
