Dear John (The Second Time Around) S1E16

John gets a call from an old flame
3/9/89
Dear John is an American sitcom that aired on NBC from 1988 to 1992. The series was originally based on the British sitcom of the same name.
Dear John starred Judd Hirsch as easygoing Drake Prep high school teacher John Lacey who is dumped by his wife, Wendy, via a Dear John letter. Wendy ends up with everything in the divorce settlement, including custody of the couple's son, forcing John to move into an apartment in Ozone Park, Queens.
John soon joins the One-2-One Club, a self help group for divorced, widowed or lonely people. The group is led by Louise (Jane Carr), a sex-obsessed British woman. Other members of the group include Kate McCarron (Isabella Hofmann), a sweet divorcée; Kirk Morris (Jere Burns), a cocky ladies' man; Ralph Drang (Harry Groener), a shy and neurotic tollbooth collector; Bonnie Philbert (Billie Bird), a feisty senior citizen; and Tom, Mrs. Philbert's quiet boyfriend (Tom Willett).

This episode had me rolling on the floor. I love the beginning part so much. I was laughing really loud. That is rare for me to do on a TV show ever. One of the greatest TV shows I missed out on because I was busy from 1988 to 1992

This was one of my favorite shows back then. Thanks for posting these! One comment though, the audio level is really low on these.

Am I wrong for thinking it was cute they kissed?

[@theatergeek82]

I like Gwen Verdon

[@gwenniegirl50]

I agree. Her voice is unmistakable.

How old was Yvonne when she and John first met? He said he was 15, so Im thinking she must have been in her 30s. That's sick AND illegal.

Is anyone else creeped out that he grabbed her breast and then held it for like 3 minutes? Judging from the audience reaction, it wasn't a big deal. Idk if I remember another sitcom character grabbing and physically holding another characters breast in his hand, it seemed a little vulgar, but then I feel like surely sitcoms do worse? Just bizarre, especially since the same idea could have been conveyed without the breast grab/hold, and just w/ him putting his arm around her.

Well, Hollywood has always been creepy.

Nope
