The Life of Riley (1953–1958)
10/10
Why isn't this SHOWN anymore?
1 July 2004
I bought a few "LIFE OF RILEY" tapes a while back. I watched a few again today.

This was a funny show. I wonder it is never shown anymore. It is just as funny as any ole I LOVE LUCY show. I guess the power of pull of DESILU is what propelled this one out of the firmament. It's a darn shame.

WILLIAM BENDIX is a very likable and funny actor. As is the rest of the cast without being "perfect" like some other TV families.

The situations are funny and the family relationships are not as dated as you might think. It not as HOMESPUN as Father Knows Best or The Donna Reed Show...!~

The laugh track also sounds FRESH!!! and REAL!

TVLAND should bring these back.

As Junior would say:

AWWWW...Heyyyyick!!
