The show distinctively interjected clips from older black and white television series to punctuate Tupper’s feelings or thoughts. It was created by Marta Kauffman and David Crane, the team who would later create the TV show Friends. It ran for six seasons on HBO between 1990 and 1996.

Preston makes the check out for $1 million and goes on a spending spree he’ll never forget. Maybe now, his family will take him seriously!
