Dharma & Greg S01E01 Pilot Clip1

Season 1, Ep 1: Pilot - When Greg sees Dharma on the subway, they can't stop looking at each other. She recognizes his picture in the newspaper and finds him in his office, drags him to a Giants baseball game, then for pie in Reno, where they get married all within the same day. Back at home, the dream soon turns into a nightmare for Greg when he meets Dharma's hippie parents. They can't tell her dad Larry that they committed the 'fascist state's unnatural' act of marriage. Dharma's adventure begins when she meets Greg's socialite snob parents. The happy couple finds themselves in a tug of war between decency and staying true to yourself with ruthless honesty. Aired: 9/24/1997

[@moondancealexander8310]

does anyone here realize how beautiful Thomas Gibson is...

[@musicandmebff]

Aaron Hotchner He was always so good looking on criminal minds. Didn’t think he’d be even better here.

[@she_sings_delightful_things]

You do....look in a mirror!

[@Dane_Youssef]

@@musicandmebff, Of course, he would! He's a lot younger here!

[@queenbee2371]

I'm gay and even I fancy him, lol x

[@graceramey4443]

He is an absolute gift to humanity.

[@MrProvincial]

I swear, it's like he's wearing the same suit on Criminal Minds. And the same tie.

[@jaketaylor9614]

It's alternate universe hotch! He wears a suit, he get on a plane, still works for a form of government, still scares people!!! The only difference is.. This hotch smiles!

[@tammyhayes6920]

Lmao i told my brother the same thing 😂

[@DelfinaHanna]

lol it's so hard for me to watch thomas gibson here because i keep seeing him as hotch

[@LadyBowie1119]

I know, me too! I used to watch this with my mom first but now, after seeing Criminal Minds, Hotch is all I see watching him.

[@sarahloulaj3567]

+Delfina Hanna me too! his character is so different!!!

[@missshae3919]

so true...

[@filigree4103]

I know me too. whoda thunk. He's funny!

[@robilinca]

Delfina Hanna for me is strange to see him in criminal minds. i grow up with dharma and Greg :)

[@alwaysknowingit13]

"Greg Montgomery, Justice Department" = " SSA Aaron Hotchner of the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit"

[@circularmorb]

Man this was a bad decision. Now I wanna watch the whole thing!

[@simonemehra4019]

HOTCH ???!!! WITH E M O T I O N S ???!!! ik it’s a different show but this is confusing me 😭😭😭

[@unnomcache]

I swear it was Hotch the one that intimidated the man at the baseball game! I thought he was going to scream "F.B.I!" at some point...

[@Layla.63]

Alessandra Diaz doesn’t matter what show or movie he’s in, he’s just secretly Aaron Hotchner in all of them

[@ravenm6985]

It's so awesome seeing Hotch smile. I didn't know he played Greg on here. I even getting excited when he cracks a little smile on Criminal Minds

[@animeluver168]

Aaron was a prosecutor before he became an F.B.I agent, this makes so much sense.

[@Patringaling]

Did Dharma hurt him so much that he never smiled ever again 😂😂

[@missyadams]

No, her real life husband (Mr Scratch) did!

[@Tiepo01]

4:36 producers must've seen this scene and said "This is our Aaron Hotchner"

[@Mj0Skyver]

I knew for the longest time that I've seen Thomas Gibson somewhere before Criminal Minds. Lo and behold, it was one of the sitcoms I grew up with as a child. The irony that his character still has ties with the federal government is pretty amusing and funny to me. You gave me good laughs in Dharma & Greg. And you've been shaking my feels in Criminal Minds. I'm glad that you remain a solid and awesome actor, Mr. Gibson.

[@HotForgeChaos]

Also that moment when you completely missed Agent Prentiss in Two and a Half Men and Friends

[@TheBlupickles]

It's funny because Hotch basically had Greg's job before he joined the BAU :D

[@ZakMarco]

OMG I never thought Thomas gibson would have been on a comedy!!! He looks so young and cute

[@cherryred2247]

In bed... Dharma: Where you going Greg: Wheels up in 30 ✈️

[@graceramey4443]

@4:39 Guy to Greg: who the hell are you? Me: that is Aaron Hotchner, supervisory special agent, unit chief, and communications liasion of the BAU FIGHT HIM

[@mandyj2809]

I knew Greg before I knew Hotch, but I love both and Thomas Gibson was/is brilliant as both.

[@peggychilders8425]

oh I think Thomas Gibson one of most handsome, talent actors ever

[@KillerLikesKandy]

Wow...Hotch is hot when he smiles!! I used to watch this all the time and when i saw CM for the first time, my mother shouted 'that's Greg!'

[@cocherrie7332]

omg! is this really aaron hotchner?!?! can't believe it! hahaha he's actually smiling and laughing!

[@froggirl80]

I know, right?! He is so cute. His smile just lights up his face!!

[@missyadams]

strangest thing, the actor who played Mr Scratch in Criminal Minds is Jenna's (Dharma) real life husband. Bohdi Elfman

[@James-re6co]

I keep waiting for Penelope to come bustin' in and break down a new case.

[@pixiebells]

What I saw Dharma's mom teaching her the astrology signs I thought: "That's the kind of cool hippie mama I want to be." Currently planning my 11 month-old son's 1st birthday party with an Aquarius theme at the local Y ✌🏻♒🌸😂

[@estherbjerga523]

Thomas Gibson is so good.

[@nicoleschachtner4912]

I feel the opposite of all you. I was a teenager when this was new. It's weird for me to see Thomas Gibson in a serious crime drama. Too bad not many people know about this show anymore. It was good.

[@cmarq817]

Me too! Dharma and Greg was always a favourite of mine and every time I see him as a stone face FBI I always see Greg ...

[@georgettebirmelin1210]

I totally agree with you! I remember when I first saw him on Criminal Minds, and I thought it so weird that this fun loving guy from Dharma and Greg started doing this serious and intense role! He literally went from one end of the spectrum to the other, from comedy to tough, hard-ass FBI agent. It was so jarring and hard to get used to! But I thought this basically proved how versatile an actor he could be! People forget he is acting a role as the emotionless Hotchner. It isn't that he himself is a bad actor, but is playing a ROLE where the character lacks a variety of revealing emotions! His work on Dharma and Greg clearly proves this! Furthermore, people should look into an actor's body of work before criticizing his lack of ability! That apparent lack of emotions that Tom Gibson portrays in Criminal Minds actually proves the opposite. He has you all fooled into thinking that his lack of emotions is not the character, but the actor's true identity shining through. (And apparently this "true identity" reveals he cannot act! How ironic!) I am fortunate that I was aware of Dharma and Greg as I watched it when it came out, but for all those who judge a person's "poor acting ability," make sure you take the time to do your homework by not just judging an actor on one role, but by taking the time to check out the actor's roles in other shows, movies, etc. Sorry if I sound high and mighty here, but it's impossible for me to sit back and do nothing, when I see someone like Tom Gibson, the actor, so misjudged.

[@kaye1118]

2 words: hot & handsome ;) ♥♥

[@142vids]

Man I loved this show. Back when it was on tv as a teen dude living with two tough brothers and a conservative home where both parents and siblings would constantly micromanage me - I couldn't or was allowed to watch this show. But I still could tell this was a great show from the fragments I could see. So just recently at around 30 I revisited and it was better than I expected. If only I knew this earlier I had an understanding of relationships and chosen to live my life like one of them. Although Dharma is the one I strive to be like.

[@Jem-Holograms]

WHY! WHY! Netflix, Hulu, Amazon prime, ABC App or any other streaming services i pay for doesn't have this show i love this show sooo much so unfair :-(

[@kasperjoonatan6014]

Then you are paying for shit ;)

[@houstonturbostreets]

It's on Hulu now. I'm actually watching at this moment. Love me some Dharma.

[@cutienerdgirl]

It's on Hulu now!!

[@cobertabbey]

It’s on Hulu and you tube

[@asli64]

I’m about to binge this series like wow Thomas Gibson is so perfect and I love seeing him smile so much 🥺

[@matthaddock1817]

If only Hotch's friends would see him smile and be cheerful. Reid and Garcia would join him in!

[@Pichipichiprincess]

I forgot how great this show is! I used to watch reruns in the afternoons. They seemed to adore each other from the start, I love it! It's hard to find real chemistry like this

[@irishnomad1673]

This is before he joined the FBI. Blondie caused him to leave town and go under witness protection as the FBI behavior director...😂

[@nebula-eyes]

god I miss this show

[@MintyCanRead]

Since I watched this before Criminal Minds I keep expecting him (in CM) to have a hippie girlfriend show up or something. It's weird to see him alone and so serious.

[@bree6353]

wow Hotch even dressed the same way back then

[@Layla.63]

Greg and Hotch are soooooo different but it doesn’t matter because Thomas Gibson is such an amazing actor

[@AlaiaWilliamsx]

Whenever I think of this show, I still remember those lines... "Dharma Finkelstein...yeah, I know. My dad was Jewish but wished he was the Dali Lama."

[@asli64]

Also their relationship is so cute I’m gonna enjoy this so much

[@malenam.2384]

Every comment in here is about how awesome Hotch is 😁

[@GaryLeventhal]

Man I hate sappy romantic story's but I love Dharma and greg

[@giaaponte2043]

i can’t watch this without thinking of him beating the reapers head in. 😭’

[@lucbenjack1040]

I'll fall in love with Dharma too at first sight.

[@jamesrobertsonrobertson5690]

Granted, it's only a show, but who says there's no such thing as true love? That's what made "Dharma & Greg" a true comedy classic!!

[@corinadarie6658]

Thought I couldn't fall more in love with Thomas Gibson. Well, guess what? I was very wrong.

[@mariahalley1005]

SSA Hotchner!

[@abby963]

I watched this show before criminal minds and and i can’t take him seriously

[@LemonMerigueTie]

its weird seeing hotch smile so much

[@galatoots9398]

I feel so honored to be named after the female character in this show x3 and this is my favorite episode. Brings back many memories

[@jessijohnson8579]

I am I the only one who realizes that at the beginning when Kitty is telling the young Greg not to touch anything because everything is dirty that she touches for just a brief second the same pole she just pulled his hands away from

[@BettinaBalser]

This is the cutest, most charming, underrated show of the last 25 years.

[@alexcsilaban]

This is Hotchner's past! When he was a lawyer!

[@TheBluepencilabc]

After see him as Hotch from Criminal Minds this is so strange. But I love how he is here too. I never seen this before.

[@CFergieROCKS]

I personally only started watching this show because I saw Thomas Gibson on it. I love him and Matthew Gray Gubler on Criminal Minds. I just love Hotch and Reid! I agree though that seeing Thomas Gibson cracking jokes and laughing like he does is wierd since Hotch rarely smiles and jokes around.

[@LEMATTOFFICIAL]

For years I kept trying to remeber where this scene came from. It is permanently in my childhood memory. Finally remembered Dharma nd Greg. What a classic

[@ss6truks]

I never saw her in anything after Looney Tunes back in Action 😭 I always thought she was a funny actress like a female Jim Carrey

[@safepethaven]

Thank you for uploading what has to be my favorite sitcom series ever! There is only one brief moment that always bugs me whenever I see this 1st terrific episode, is at about 00:50; the weird forced smile/grimace from the Dharma-as-child character, whereas the young Greg is very realistic w/the shy but innocent smile. Otherwise I love the writing, & all the regular characters.; some lines are absolute gems! I've known folks that are Very much like the 8 main characters, w/little modification.

[@PC4ever]

Aaron Hotchner or Greg Montgomery, one thing is for sure, Thomas Gibson is HOT as hell, and dangerously good looking from head to toe. I love the part where he defended her....so cool and sooooo Hotch! Jenna was perfect for this role and they made a such a cute couple.

[@kellyanderson7624]

It's so weird seeing him on here after watching Criminal Minds lol

[@Lauren-hinrichsen]

So this is Hotch's background in prosecution

[@saphriaofhogwarts]

haha..... Blueberry pie and a Giants game. If they knew about Hotch's earlier days, Morgan, Rossi, Prentiss, JJ, Garcia and Reid would all be ROFL!!!!! Thing is, I can imagine them all doing it, too!!! Used to watch it every morning on TV this summer until I went to college. Funny stuff!

[@Rogue849]

I've been watching Criminal Minds for ages, and just now, I learnt that he's Greg!!! I can't believe I never noticed. He's just so serious 99.9% of the time!

[@funkygirl59]

it's so weird: i actually used to watch this show when i was like 7 years old. Anyway was on wikipedia looking up hotch cos i love criminal minds, and wanted to know if he was always that boring and serious or if he deliberately did that for his character. then i found this and MIND BLOWN: clearly his hotchner persona is not type-casting at all, so damn versatile.

[@CantStayAway]

I just saw the pillot today..this show was SO awesome!!! A great premise for a romantic MOVIE but the fact that it was a TV show made it so much better!:)

[@acertainlustforlife]

i fucking forgot thomas gibson was even greg on this show bc he will always be hotch lmao

[@HarlequinRaven]

Haha, having watched Criminal Minds before starting to watch D/G... this is freaking me out. I mean, he even wears near enough the same suit and tie as Hotch!

[@chinamanandfriends]

For a moment I thought they were on the FBI plane.

[@Hotspace5170]

this show & series gave me a reasons to laugh out loud every time that it was one tv. years later I still have reasons to laugh while watching these clips now. thank you for posting them.

[@watermelon520b]

Aww, Thomas Gibson is so cute here! :-) I almost said 'Hotch', LOL!

[@Amanda0Green0Matthew]

I just saw Thomas at the subway door and i almost had a heart attack :O I was expecting him obvs its just ..... WOW o.O

[@ella-rosemelville7519]

Awwwww baby Thomas!!!! He’s so cute I love him ❤️

[@arkin4697]

Will & Grace and Dharma & Greg helped me to survive my teenage years (They still do!). But it was The Nanny that made my childhood bearable. I just found out that there will be a reboot and now I can't stop smiling 🙃

[@LesterItchon]

Good taste, my friend 🤙

[@marmax321]

What hotch does while on vacation XD

[@violinplayer101]

I was around when this show was on...However, I was too young to really be interested in watching it when it was originally on TV...I am a HUGE Criminal Minds fan, but totally forgot that he was in Dharma & Greg...It's weird to see him in such a different role!

[@Amanda0Green0Matthew]

Dharma probs has the goofiest an most amazing smile in the whole world :3

[@TheAnnArnold]

Just LOVE Susan Sullivan!!

[@magnificent5841]

+TheAnnArnold: Her bitchiness in comparison to Dharma and Abbey's hippy annoyances makes her SOOO likeable. Yet, if she had "normal" counterparts, Susan would be the intolerable one. She and Mitch Ryan steal the show. Rachin and Kennedy bore me to tears. If either one or both would have ran off to some commune or somewhere and only were on the show during holidays and via post cards, they could have squeezed out another 2 yrs of the show! LOL!

[@rogerwhittaker4189]

Both dharma and Greg reminded me of dennis the menace parents and of course I knew Thomas gibson ,before criminal minds from this show ,and he was funny ,but on criminal minds he was serious and intense and knew when to get shit done.

[@charmedgirl90]

Thomas Gibson has the cutest facial expressions! whenever they peek through on criminal minds i get all happy.

[@izacnewton5761]

This show makes me think of my wife. Love at first sight moved in in a week

[@Scaryfairy649]

I remember watching this way before Criminal Minds. It was a hell of a shift to think of him as Mr Serious, but he pulls it off. Plus Jenna Elfman was awesome. I love both series though.

I agree

[@TheObsessivePerson]

I watched Criminal Minds before I watched this show and I had never seen Thomas Gibson smile so much :D and then I went back to CM and was sad not to see that :(
