Nothing in Common (TV series)
Nothing in Common is an American sitcom television series which aired on NBC from April 2 to June 3, 1987. Based on the 1986 film of the same name directed by Garry Marshall and starring Tom Hanks and Jackie Gleason, the series starred Todd Waring as David Basner and Bill Macy as David's father Max Basner. Seven episodes were broadcast immediately after the highly-rated series Cheers, but failed to retain the strong audience of that series and was cancelled after only seven episodes had aired.

gollark: I would hope so. One must wonder what else they would end up doing with the helicopters, then.
gollark: Yes, lasering planes is obviously bad, but I'm just saying that it may not be worth having helicopters constantly around (or whatever they're doing) to catch people doing it.
gollark: * probably can, in some edge cases
gollark: Realistically they'll just demand more money and do both.
gollark: ... neither, really?
