It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I really like Gene Wilder, I think Frisco Kid was one of his really great movies. I watched it several months ago for the first time in years. My late father was a big fan of that movie as well. I caught about the first half of Young Frankenstein a couple weeks ago as well. Teri Garr used to be in so many movies back in the day.I was just noticing after reading his IMDb page that Gene wasn't in a ton of movies or shows like many actors these days. He must have done more stage productions and/or was extremely picky about the roles he accepted, which I admire in actors who don't take every job that comes their way. Harrison Ford, his co star in Frisco Kid is that way. Not a huge resume of movies, he obviously limited himself to what he thought would be good or maybe even the co stars had a lot to do with his decisions??I remember Something Wilder, specifically the Alice Cooper episode. It's been so long, I thought Alice was cast in the show. That may have been the only episode I ever watched, which may be why I assumed he was part of the series. It reminds me of Steven Tyler on Two and a Half Men, maybe they should have had Alice as a permanent part of the show?? :-)What I do remember was it being funny and I did enjoy it. It would have been nice to see him in a hit show that let later generations get to enjoy his talent before he's no longer around. At least most of his work is available on DVD. Everyone should have their kids watch his version of Willy Wonka, it's certainly the best of the two. Just my opinion, oughtta be yours. ;-)Take care....

I remember this show, because I was the only other guest star. I was watching Ivanka Trump on TV today and wondering if it was her who was being held by her nanny while we taped. But it was Marla Maples' baby. Marla played a dish with whom Gene was forced to share a sleeping bag on a campout, as best I can recall. I had a small gag as a handyman repairing something up high in Gene's house-revealing a ghastly "plumber's crack" as he watched me fix it. I was hired by Barnett Kellman, who both created and directed the series. I had worked for him many times on "Murphy Brown". I remember chatting with Barnett and Gene about his co-star in "Woman in Red", as she had hung out with us during the filming of another comedy, and I thought she was quite beautiful. They opined what a mistake she had made in marrying Steven Seagal (the martial arts star). Gene was a compassionate and polite co-worker. He had remarried after Gilda's untimely passing and was doing well-although the weight of carrying a sitcom weighed heavily upon his shoulders. I miss seeing his wonderful offbeat humor.

This show cam out when I went to college and I only saw maybe two episodes. They were OK, but I don't think sitcoms are for Gene Wilder. I wish he would do some new stuff, his guest appearances shows he still has something and there are plenty of actors still working in their 70's. His later TV movies were a little better. I think his age and his illnesses and his absence from the big screen is part of it. But his early stuff is just to great to ignore. His interview on Inside the Actors Studio is without a doubt one of the best ones in the series. Gene will always be remembered as one of the greatest comedic actors of all time.

The thing that I will never forget about this show was the episode that had Alice Cooper move in next door to Gene Wilder's character. Wilder ended up partying with Cooper and at one point had Cooper's trademark makeup.
