Case in point: It's Your Move, the NBC sitcom that starred a teenage Jason Bateman and Married...with Children's David Garrison. The opening is pure cheese, but the writing was a notch above typical sitcom fare. Here's the first episode (parts 2 and 3 after the jump - more episodes here). Bateman's first little speech has a really funny payoff, and he always had great timing. River Phoenix shows up in this episode too.

So Silver Spoons wasn't funny? ;)
Thanks for the clips and the walk down Memory Lane. Caren Kaye was a babe!

This was my favorite show. Not many people remember it though. I did think it lost a little something when his mom found out that he was such a little con.

I loved that show. It's one of those shows that I figure that few, besides me, watched and remember.
Cue "Remember [insert 80s sitcom here]?" comments.

Also, Tricia Cast was on The Young and the Restless for many years.
My clearest It's Your Move episode is the one with the Grateful Dead. The kids used skeletons in a talent show (?) while Touch of Grey played.

Loved that episode! Ever since I have referred to certain people as "The Dregs of Humanity."

The internet is great but I'm still waiting to see the entire collection of It's Garry Shandling's Show, especially the Shandlingland episode!

Very funny show until near the end when he got caught in one of his scams and this made the the Mother not trust him anymore and pretty much blew up the whole premise of the show.
Sort of like had Ferris had gotten caught half way through the movie.

That was a great show! The back-and forth between the brother and sister was awesome...
