Phyl & Mikhy (1980– )

I must admit I was only 9 when this show aired, however it really sticks with me. It was a show that poked fun at an Eastern Block person suddenly thrust into life in the US.

What I remember most were two things. First was how the main character "Mikhy" would address his father-in-law, he would say "dead, pup, Mix" - of course he was calling "Dad, pop, Max." I also vaguely remember something about him running up a credit card because he thought it was free money, or your typical "isn't it great in the West, they give money away for free?" gag.

Anyway, it didn't last long, but I think I remember it because Mom did the whole "Dead, pup, mix" thing forever after the show was gone.

All in all a cute show from what I remember, which is more than one can say for a lot of sitcoms that survive much more than 6 episodes. I don;t think it was all too deep, but Mom and I liked it.
