That series was the bizarre, and surprisingly long-lasting, sitcom "Unhappily Ever After," which ran from 1995 to 1999 on the WB Network (now CW).
Normally five seasons wouldn't really qualify as "surprisingly long-lasting," but it's surprising because the show has since disappeared, so much so that it's now rarely referred to except as a footnote in the biography of TV bombshell Nikki Cox, who got her start on the show.
But it's not available on DVD anywhere.
This is surprising, especially due to the boom Cox's career had in the mid-2000s, a time when stores couldn't keep TV-show boxed sets on their shelves. Cox was starring on the NBC hit "Las Vegas" at the time, and in a high-profile relationship with comedian Jay Mohr while he was still toying with superstardom (he and superstardom broke up shortly thereafter, though he and Cox are still together).
And Bob (Bobcat) Goldthwait's career has had a bit of a resurgence even more recently, though when entertainment writers remind people who he is they tend to reach back further, to his heyday in the '80s.
Back then he was a leading man whose standup shows sold out venues everywhere. His scene-stealing role in the "Police Academy" movies (he had a bit part in the second film, but he proved so popular that it was expanded for the next two) is what he's best remembered for now, but at the time he was also given a few films of his own (though they were mostly forgettable projects such as the 1988 talking-horse comedy "Hot to Trot").
"Unhappily Ever After" was a transition of sorts for him. It was a step away from actually being on camera, doing just a voice role instead. Nowadays he's gone all the way behind the camera and is a sought-after director. He recently helped the critically acclaimed 2009 picture "World's Greatest Dad," starring fellow '80s standup wildman Robin Williams.
