First I want to say, "thank you from the bottom of my heart Dave for your kind words and love. Life Brings us blessings and bruises. I am so grateful for your kind, supporting words about me! I have read everyone of these comments on here and I want to tell everyone, I am crying... because of all of your kind words. Thank you, thank you, thank you.... I wish I could hug everyone of you..... God Bless you, God Bless each and everyone of you... xoxoxoxo
Teri, after watching Dave's video I found some episodes of the show on TH-cam and watched the shoplifting episode. Not only did the comedy hold up (I laughed out loud several times), but there is a moment where your character refused to plead guilty. That part of the scene and your lines specifically and how you delivered them made me get a tear in my eye. I was feeling a Mr Smith Goes to Washington vibe. That show was a gem, and it's great that we live in an age when we can pull up classic entertainment with just a few keystrokes and enjoy it again. I hope all is well with you in your life. Take care, and God bless!
I remember watching "We Got It Made" and thinking the show was kinda lame, but Teri Copley was absolutely mesmerizing. I always hoped she would reappear in a better show but she just vanished. I'm glad she found happiness, she seemed so nice. Thanks for the update.
When this was first shown in the U.K. it was the only show I wanted to watch each week. To be blunt I only watched it to see Teri as she was so beautiful. I still think back fondly to this show, and it seems that in later years Teri’s inner beauty has flourished too. I can only wish someone like her the happiest possible life.
This is one of those very rare shows I never heard of. I thought I'd seen all sitcoms from the era, but not that one. Learn something new every day! Thanks Dave.
I had forgotten all about Teri Copley, She was gorgeous and she still is a beauty! Teri was a joy back in the 1980's and I agree that theme song was the worst and I believe it is difficult for a show to really find it's way when the first thing viewers hear is a horrible theme song.
@@mikesilva3868 ... I noticed your mention in a couple of places. Would you mind expanding it a bit. Teri didn't play Vicki. Mom on the series was a little known actress, but certainly gorgeous. I didn't watch much of it, but I remember some of the characters. The dad / inventor appeared in quite a number of TV commercials before nabbing the role in Small Wonder.
@@JW...-oj5iw small wonder was a 80s siticom The story lines revolve around V.I.C.I. (an acronym for Voice Input Child Identicant, pronounced "Vicki"), an android in the form of a 10-year-old girl. Vicki was built by Ted Lawson, an engineer/inventor for United Robotronics, in an effort to assist handicapped children. Lawson takes the robot home so that it can mature within a family environment. Vicki's features include superhuman strength and speed, an AC outlet under her right arm, a data port under her left arm, and an access panel in her back. Despite this, the Lawson family initially tries to pass Vicki off as an orphaned family member whom they eventually legally adopt as their daughter. The Lawson family tries to keep the robot's existence a secret, but their disagreeable neighbors, the Brindles, keep on popping up at the most unexpected moments - especially nosy next-door neighbor Harriet, whose father happens to be Ted Lawson's co-worker. The show's humor frequently derived from Vicki's attempts to learn human behavior, her unprecedented echolalia, the robot's literal interpretation of speech and the family's efforts to disguise the robot's true nature. To explain child actress Tiffany Brissette's aging during the show, the series' producers had Ted give Vicki an upgrade in the series' third season. He aged her face, dressed her in modern clothes, and allowed her to eat and drink. The food passed through her naturally and the drink cooled her internal system. Hope this helps 😊

Honest to GOD I was thinking about this beautiful woman early this morning because I remembered she was in a relationship with one of the members of legendary soul.group.Shalimar!
Yep! I remember We Got it Made! Didn't remember the theme song until you played it...yeah...that was bad! lol!! I remember seeing some information about Ms. Copely a few years ago and how she returned to faith. Glad to hear she is doing so much better. Nicely done video Dave!
You got me with this one, Dave. I have zero memory of this show and I thought I knew every 80's sitcom ever! I might have to watch some episodes... Wow, Teri Copley was and is very beautiful (outside and inside)... Thanks!
I really love Teri. She may not have gotten to be in exactly the types of movies she wanted but, she always brought her fun spirit and beautiful smile. Transylvania Twist really showed her flair for comedy and should be given a watch if you like old horror movies.
Last night while channel surfing I stumbled on to an episode of The Match Game/Hollywood Squares show. Sitting in the center square was Teri Copley. I had forgotten about 'We Got it Made' but did watch several episodes in first run back in the day. Always thought Teri Copley was one of the most beautiful actresses of the 80's. After digging around on the internet to learn more about her, I discovered what a truly beautiful person she is, inside and out. What a story! It takes a strong person to leave Hollywood and follow the word of God. Much admiration and respect for you Teri. I look forward to learning more about your experiences and journey. Thank you Dave for another great show!
“We Got It Maid” was a big hit with my college buddies and myself but I have got to admit that I don’t remember much about it other than the adorable Copley.
Tom Willard, who played one of the guys Teri Copley's character lived with co-starred in the first "My Girl" movie and had later died of HIV Stephanie Kramer would later costar with Fred Dryer on the series "Hunter"
@@JW...-oj5iw did I really misspell their names??? Well, anyway Stefanie Kramer is actually from my home state of Alabama, in fact, my sister actually dated a cousin of hers and actually got to meet her during Christmas one year
"Poker Face," can you say that with a straight face? Ha. "Three's Company" was Shakespeare compared to "We Got It Made" while Teri Copley was better looking than ANY of the actresses who played roommates of Jack (John Ritter).
@@scvandy3129 Not disputing what you say about Teri Copley but the show We Got It Made was eminently forgettable. When Hunter became popular I knew I had seen Stepfanie Kramer somewhere before- she played Matt McCoy's girlfriend on WGIM.
I remember Teri Copley!!! I used to watch We Got It Made. I still remember the theme song. I sang what I remembered. She's beautiful and always has been. Most importantly, is that she has relationship with Him, The Almighty!!! That's even more beautiful.
HahA! I remember We Got it Made...didn't think much of the show, but I watched it for Teri. She's a beauty! I also remember her role on Quantum Leap...one of my favourite episodes from season 1. Oh boy, did she have an infectious charm. I'm glad she found her faith again. Thanks for posting, Dave!
No two, 1980s NBC main titles could be as different as "We Got It Made" (completely lackluster) and "Quantum Leap" (a gem). Good call, "Rometiklan." A clip from one of Teri's ultra-sexy "Quantum Leap" scenes, was incorporated into one of the show's various versions of its dazzling main title -- blessed with that fantastic theme by Mike Post. . . . . So, how sexy was ultra-shapely, blonde, luminous Teri Copley in that "Quantum Leap"? Scott Bakula's peers at the Television Academy should have nominated him for an Emmy just for his self control at keeping his performing-arts-trained eyes at eye level with his beautiful guest star -- when her treasure chest is liberally apparent. Aside from looks, Teri was a competent actress. "We Got It Made" was supposed to be her "breakout" as evidenced by the Sunday Los Angeles Times Calendar, for a relative newcomer, rather unusually devoting a major feature on her coinciding with her sitcom's early, debut season.
GREAT video! The only thing i Could add is, after watching a couple hours of "How I Met Your Mother" reruns, I remember how GOOD this "We Got It Made" REALLY WAS!
Nice video clip Dave. One thing I would add though that after Carol Wayne's stint as the Tea Time lady Sidekick to Johnny Carson, Teri Copley took over that spot for a while before Johnny Carson retired that character. I only mentioned it because I remember seeing her do it for a while. Good job.
@@jdsundstrom Speaking of 80s trivia! You could redo this, update the relationship section to include her going steady w/John Stamos, then busting her banging Tony Danza! (New Stamos articles available online)
I remember this show. Seeing the beautiful Teri Copley every week made this show worth watching. I have to disagree with you on the theme song, the worst theme song was the one for Wonder Woman.
Had an enormous crush on Teri back in the 80s and watched everything she was in..."We Got It Made", "I Married a Centerfold", and all the other productions in which she appeared. I remember reading the TV Guide article about Teri when "We Got It Made" was on the air for its first run and thinking about what a genuinely nice person she came across as being in that.
Fell down a TH-cam rabbit hole tonight and ended up watching the first episode of "We Got it Made." I vaguely remember watching it in my teens, but probably only for the gorgeous Teri Copely. But, aside from her physical beauty, she played the character so innocently and likable, that it was easy to crush on her. Glad to see she managed to survive the insanity of Hollywood.
I see her quite a lot being my mom's friend! She is so sweet! She is happy, healthy, and still drop dead gorgeous even while juggling being a mom of her grandchildren!
To everyone who thinks that the dark brunette vixen is Stephanie Kramer, take note: in the credits for the subject of this video, as well as the credits for Hunter, Ms. Kramer chose a unique spelling for her first name. It is (in caps, so its difference is more noticeable) STEPFANIE. I always would pronounce it as two words: Step Fanny, not maliciously, but having a bit of fun with the unique spelling. I've always considered her to be incredibly beautiful.
Hi Dave as a self professed trivia fan I am trying to figure out how I never heard of this show! You are right that is the worst theme song I have heard! Terri is lovely, to thank you for bringing this to my attention I am subscribing to your channel. I can see there is always more to learn and you are a great teacher. Keep em coming!
She was so gorgeous(STILL IS) i had such a Crush on her as a Kid, and i knew that she found her faith in the late 80's. But i heard a rumour that she actually dated PRINCE for very short while (or someone in the band Shalimar,something like that)😁
OMG!!! What you said is soooooooooooo true!!! I just recently saw that episode of Quantum Leap, and all throughout, I kept thinking, she looks so familiar. I had actually seen her before, but that thing about her looking like Marilyn Monroe, you really nailed it. She really should've played her in the movies or on tv because, man, she really does look, a heck of a lot like her!!! 😁👍
That moment when you go to comment, and the subject of the video is the pinned comment. And it's all kindness, love and support?!? Will wonders never cease. I often wondered what happened to Ms. Copley; I'm very happy to see that she's very happy and doing well. I have one real memory of the show: the guys got Mickey to try a new client's self tanning lotion, but it turned her skin blue. She came out of the bathroom and said a line that is somehow burned into my brain. "I look like a giant Smurf!" (i was 13 at the time)
About 3 months ago I watched a block of 80 Pilots, and the two that I had almost forgotten about were (We Got It Maid and Too Close For Comfort). It also found one of my brother's favorite shows from the late 70s early 80s, James at 16. They should just call TH-cam, rabbit hole... because you can spend hours watching failed sitcoms, pilots and shows from your childhood.
To "theylied1776" . . . That started out as "James at 15." Then, most memorably, halfway through its single NBC season, when on Feb. 9, 1978 in the pivotal episode 'The Gift,' wherein James loses his virginity to Norwegian stunner and near-every teen boys' (and many of their dads') fantasy, Kirsten Baker, 20th Century Fox Television upped its property's title a year to "James at 16." A good, under-rated show that -- unfortunately for many -- did not survive to renewal for a second season.
I loved James at 15 and 16! The character James and I were the same age so I could definitely relate to the characters on the show. "James" was played by actor Lance Kerwin, who today is a recovering drug addict and a born again Christian who I think lives in Hawaii. Dave should do a video profile on Lance Kerwin.
01:02 - 01:03 The creators' names flash by in LESS THAN a second. Perhaps that's an indication of how "proud" they were to be associated with the far-from-stellar "We Got It Made." To all those complaining about the theme song -- I wholeheartedly agree. How NBC let that main title slip by is a mystery of the '80s -- and 'one for the ages.' But, thanks to our host, Dave Sundstrom, for this brief visit -- first time for most; 'a trip down memory lane' for others.
@@ThePlaySpace-CurtainCall Also smiling with hand on her knee, and white shorts matching cut up shirt white color, and barefoot, with "We Got It Made" font? If so, I bought two of those and a mini-version that says "TERI" at the top.
@@ThePlaySpace-CurtainCall There are several pics online from the same shoot, same outfit, you can see several if you do a google image search and scroll enough.
I think We got it made came along about three years too late. By the 80s America was easing into the comfy arms of Family ties and The cosby Show (the show's arms, not Bills!) and the show kind of missed the "risque" vibe it was going for. But yes, Teri was a very beautiful and engaging actress and I always kind of wondered why she didn't do more. There was definitely a Suzanne Somers vibe there. But I suppose the networks type cast her as the dumb blonde as they so often do and that was that. Very happy to hear she found comfort in a higher power and that seems to sustain her. Wishing her much luck, and thanks again Dave
listen, bless you for being in Playboy. sure theres a certain stigma surrounding that choice or material (especially then) and now. but when your that beautiful and young / only once in life its a gift and blessing for all mankind. twas only right to highlight total naked beauty in a ugly mean world. its a no brainer... and she deserved every bit of praise and compliments and so much more $$. i thank you.
Ha! Crazy, How Do I even remember this show? It was only on for a short moment. I do remember her. Remember having a bit of a crush on her, her smile pretty, unique and awesome. As always Dave, thanks for the memory. ❤️✌🏾
I caught this show as a rerun on my local channels, it was already 1990. I didn’t know about about the previous iteration. The theme song and intro was much cooler, and the trio was Hillner, Copley and Villard by then. I loved that show, specially, the “Fatal Attraction” episode.😂
Three's Company in reverse is something I never thought of but it makes sense. I remember being 12 and being so excited for the show to premier, if you remember NBC promoted the heck out of it, and I also remember not being disappointed either. The reboot they made of it wasn't so good but that sure wasn't her fault as she was the best thing about it. So glad you mentioned her Quantum Leap episode as it was one of the best episodes of the whole show. Thank you for making this video and how awesome that she commented on this. I'm sure that made your heart beat a little faster. Love you Teri.
Very good video as usual. That was one show I could barely make three episodes of before I couldn't watch it anymore. I love Three's Company but not this show.
For some reason, I always have tended to lean towards brunettes BUT Teri was (and still is) my first real blonde crush! Loved her voice and innate sweetness that always shown through in every performance she gave,
Teri was a true sweet beauty back in that era and still is Im sure, but back then she was the closest to Marilyn that we ever saw, to this day there are none closer to looking and acting like the most beautiful woman that ever walked the earth, Marilyn Monroe
I was brought here because I was so curious who the woman is in the Quantum Leap episode I just watched. Gorgeous and peppy perfect acting. I admire the transition in your life.
I never heard of her or the show, the only the person I recognised in the opening credits, was Stephanie Kramer from the tv show Hunter, now that was a good cop show.
@@bobdavis4848 Teri Copley and her former co-star both -- will appreciate your correction of Stepfanie Kramer's spelling of her name -- as much or even more than your obvious "WGIM" fandom.
@@scvandy3129 What a nice comment; thank you very much! I consider myself an ardent feminist and even something simple like correcting a name misspelling, I feel compelled to do, hoping I don't embarrass or offend the one who made the mistake. That was not the intention; just setting the record straight was. I also have corrected misspelling of Micki Free's name and would also write Rest In Peace to Christopher Mayer and Tom Villard, as they were all important people in Teri's life too. I'm sorry about the times Teri's own first name has been misspelled, too. Have a blessed day.
Dave I tried sweeping away the cobwebs in my brain but this show just was not to be found! I remember Teri's name but not the actual show.She's sort of a Farrah Fawcett,Pam Anderson mix.Very lovely and Stephanie Kramer-wow- plenty of eye candy there! As far as theme songs,they used to be used to set up the premise or introduce characters.A lot of shows today don't even have openings they just transition into the next show.More time for commercials maybe? Thanks for some new content on forgotten TV.
13 months ago to be exact. However, I took the video down after a couple of months when I became aware of a couple of inaccuracies. This version is greatly expanded over the other one...and, most importantly, the information contained within is correct. 🙂
Thank-you for exposing me to these TV/Movie/Music rarities. Would love to watch a segment on why you think some TV shows/episode (of any decade) are more endearing or successful than others.
I worked at QVC and met Anson Williams. He has stayed busy... behind the scenes. I knew Teri became a born again Christian. As long as she is happy and harms nobody, it's good.
I remember the TV show as a kid but too young to watch or understand it but I thought she looked so much like Marilyn Monroe. Teri Copley is now a child of God and focuses on her faith. It’s a lovely story.
I think I never watched the show because of the presumptuous way it was being sold, at a time when I was cutting instead of adding TV hours. I hadn't heard the theme, and didn't know Stephanie Kramer was in the csst. The theme is fine as a Doo-Wop, what ruins it is the ham-fisted way they unnecessarily try to cram some words in. A choice should have been made : All Doo-Wop or start over. And I would vote for the Doo-Wop. I liked it.
The funny thing is that We Got it Made came out in the same era as Cheers and BOTH on NBC. No dig on Teri, it was the show that was bad, not her directly.
I don't really remember "We got it made" and didn't remember Stephanie Kramer being in that show. I don't think you mentioned that in your "Here's why SK said goodbye to Hunter" video.
I own that issue of Playboy with her. I loved her in the movie 'Transylvania Twist' which is a parody of horror movies, and even though it may be a lesser known movie [and incredibly hard to find-but i do own a copy] she really shows that she has a great sense of humor and great comic timing. I so had a crush on Stepfanie Kramer though. What is surprising, is none of the cast of the show went on to become major 'A' players. They all had a movie or two, but they never really broke out into big stars. Stepfanie did the series 'Hunter', and some TV movies, but i think that was it. Have you done a video on Stepfanie Kramer? If not, you should.
Ah, "Transylvania Twist" (1989) -- a candidate for the nadir of Teri's co-star Robert Vaughn's career. And based on some of Teri's scenes, the nadir for the cinematographer and make-up artist, both of whom did the curvy, pretty blonde no favors.
@@jeffreyknight3884 "Nobody watched this show" -- Somebody was watching 'cause the bigwigs at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Television knew differently, that's why they took a gamble and financed the first-run syndication season. . . . . Farrah's face, smile, teeth, hair ( H A I R !! ) were dazzling, together, second-to-none for sure. Comparing the two, Teri was TOPS in the figure department, hands-down; no argument there. . . . Fact: by the time of the second season's launch, 1987, it had been an entire decade since Farrah's first-and-only-full season on "Charlie's Angels," 1976 - 77. Sadly and unfairly, in Hollywood ageism rears its head and plays off differences like that.
Dave, I really liked the very talented and very beautiful Teri Copley's performances in "We Got It Made" and I liked the show AND the theme song. The theme song was just meant to be an amusing little intro ditty and I think it served the purpose perfectly. I videotaped each episode as well as the "I Married a Centerfold" TV movie. I wish I had known of "The Star Maker" with Teri and Rock Hudson at the earlier time. I was surprised your great feature did not include mention of Teri's three pinup posters. I bought them all, a couple of extras and smaller versions too and I still have them up. I was disappointed when she was in Playboy because Playboy in general is too explicit for my comfort. I scoured tabloids to buy any of them with any mention or image of her even though I though tabloids in general were disrespectful to others. I am only now discovering this video so I am too late for when Teri checked all your comments a month ago; I hope she'll come back to read this and any other newer comments. I am very glad she is satisfied with her spirituality. Personally I am not religious and I've been rejected by others because of that, even though I believe in "do unto others..." and especially after tragedy I wish more then ever to help others. I do however wish others "blessings" and I appreciate the kindheartedness that motivates people to say "God bless you" and similar. I take my veganism as seriously as others take religion. I've wondered for decades if Teri knew of my combination of thoughts and traits expressed here regarding her career and her and my beliefs, if she'd be glad / happier or somewhat disgusted / displeased or a mix. Maybe I'll never know. I wish the best for her and you!
I am not a religious person, not will I ever be, but I am happy Teri found her footing in life, though I am quite concern about her Dr. Phil appearance, whatever happened with her daughter should have been a private family concern.
I would agree that we would all be better off with less shows like Dr. Phil where families air their dirty laundry. That said, as a nation (and beyond perhaps), we have a fascination with that kind of stuff.
First I want to say, "thank you from the bottom of my heart Dave for your kind words and love. Life Brings us blessings and bruises. I am so grateful for your kind, supporting words about me!
I have read everyone of these comments on here and I want to tell everyone, I am crying... because of all of your kind words. Thank you, thank you, thank you.... I wish I could hug everyone of you..... God Bless you, God Bless each and everyone of you... xoxoxoxo

After digging around on the internet to learn more about her, I discovered what a truly beautiful person she is, inside and out. What a story! It takes a strong person to leave Hollywood and follow the word of God. Much admiration and respect for you Teri. I look forward to learning more about your experiences and journey. Thank you Dave for another great show!
Holy crap! This is a blast from the past! Great stuff Dave!😎👍
Glad you enjoyed it, Charlie!
Praise the Lord for Teri Copley!
I loved this show. So early '80's. Teri was a cutie.
Agreed!
She popped into my head out of the blue several days ago. "I wonder whatever happened to her?" I thought. Now I know. Thanks.
xoxox... so sweet
“We Got It Maid” was a big hit with my college buddies and myself but I have got to admit that I don’t remember much about it other than the adorable Copley.
Tom Willard, who played one of the guys Teri Copley's character lived with co-starred in the first "My Girl" movie and had later died of HIV
Stephanie Kramer would later costar with Fred Dryer on the series "Hunter"
@@karlsmith2570 ... Villard. Stepfanie.
@@JW...-oj5iw did I really misspell their names???
Well, anyway
Stefanie Kramer is actually from my home state of Alabama, in fact, my sister actually dated a cousin of hers and actually got to meet her during Christmas one year
I do remember this show but primarily for Stepfanie Kramer, pre-Hunter. Seemed like a clone of Three's Company.
"Poker Face," can you say that with a straight face? Ha. "Three's Company" was Shakespeare compared to "We Got It Made" while Teri Copley was better looking than ANY of the actresses who played roommates of Jack (John Ritter).

Not disputing what you say about Teri Copley but the show We Got It Made was eminently forgettable.
When Hunter became popular I knew I had seen Stepfanie Kramer somewhere before- she played Matt McCoy's girlfriend on WGIM.
I remember Teri Copley!!! I used to watch We Got It Made. I still remember the theme song. I sang what I remembered. She's beautiful and always has been. Most importantly, is that she has relationship with Him, The Almighty!!! That's even more beautiful.
He is everything... and completely changed me. I am soooo grateful, just to know Him.
HahA! I remember We Got it Made...didn't think much of the show, but I watched it for Teri. She's a beauty! I also remember her role on Quantum Leap...one of my favourite episodes from season 1. Oh boy, did she have an infectious charm. I'm glad she found her faith again. Thanks for posting, Dave!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Rometiklan!
No two, 1980s NBC main titles could be as different as "We Got It Made" (completely lackluster) and "Quantum Leap" (a gem).
Good call, "Rometiklan." A clip from one of Teri's ultra-sexy "Quantum Leap" scenes, was incorporated into one of the show's various versions of its dazzling main title -- blessed with that fantastic theme by Mike Post.
. . . . So, how sexy was ultra-shapely, blonde, luminous Teri Copley in that "Quantum Leap"? Scott Bakula's peers at the Television Academy should have nominated him for an Emmy just for his self control at keeping his performing-arts-trained eyes at eye level with his beautiful guest star -- when her treasure chest is liberally apparent. Aside from looks, Teri was a competent actress. "We Got It Made" was supposed to be her "breakout" as evidenced by the Sunday Los Angeles Times Calendar, for a relative newcomer, rather unusually devoting a major feature on her coinciding with her sitcom's early, debut season.
I wanted more episodes of this show
GREAT video! The only thing i Could add is, after watching a couple hours of "How I Met Your Mother" reruns, I remember how GOOD this "We Got It Made" REALLY WAS!
I was in the Army when We Got it Made was on tv so I had never head of that show of of Teri Copley. But now I want to know more about her.
Nice video clip Dave. One thing I would add though that after Carol Wayne's stint as the Tea Time lady Sidekick to Johnny Carson, Teri Copley took over that spot for a while before Johnny Carson retired that character. I only mentioned it because I remember seeing her do it for a while. Good job.
Thanks for the extra info, Garry!
I forgot all about this. Teri Copely was the best part of the series and the only reason I took notice of the show at all.
Entertaining & great tid-bits of trivia throughout each one. Thanks for all you do.
My pleasure!
@@jdsundstrom
Speaking of 80s trivia!
You could redo this, update the relationship section to include her going steady w/John Stamos, then busting her banging Tony Danza!
(New Stamos articles available online)
Do you have one about Tom Villard? He went too soon.
Great video, Dave...as always!
Glad you enjoyed it, AJ!
The Starmakers poster!!!
Really good video. I do not remember this show at all. I do not think I knew about the show or the actress until about a year ago.
Look, Commandant Lassard's nephew from Police Academy 5!
Matt McCoy?
@@ricolewis2949 Yep. Gotta love that airboat chase scene.
@@skiprockjr.6881 ... Airboat? I thought it was all PWCs.
I remember this show. Seeing the beautiful Teri Copley every week made this show worth watching. I have to disagree with you on the theme song, the worst theme song was the one for Wonder Woman.
Had an enormous crush on Teri back in the 80s and watched everything she was in..."We Got It Made", "I Married a Centerfold", and all the other productions in which she appeared. I remember reading the TV Guide article about Teri when "We Got It Made" was on the air for its first run and thinking about what a genuinely nice person she came across as being in that.
Fell down a TH-cam rabbit hole tonight and ended up watching the first episode of "We Got it Made."
I vaguely remember watching it in my teens, but probably only for the gorgeous Teri Copely. But, aside from her physical beauty, she played the character so innocently and likable, that it was easy to crush on her.
Glad to see she managed to survive the insanity of Hollywood.
I've never seen this here in England but Wow she is Beautiful!
I'm English and I remember this very well.My siblings and l watched this on BBC 1 in the 1980's-Yes I'm that old 😢.
I see her quite a lot being my mom's friend! She is so sweet! She is happy, healthy, and still drop dead gorgeous even while juggling being a mom of her grandchildren!
She should work for Disney back in the 80's and the early 90's back then.
To everyone who thinks that the dark brunette vixen is Stephanie Kramer, take note: in the credits for the subject of this video, as well as the credits for Hunter, Ms. Kramer chose a unique spelling for her first name. It is (in caps, so its difference is more noticeable) STEPFANIE.
I always would pronounce it as two words: Step Fanny, not maliciously, but having a bit of fun with the unique spelling. I've always considered her to be incredibly beautiful.
I had never noticed that before! Thanks for pointing that out, J W!
You talkin bout the wholesome side of Hollywood is very relaxing!
I'm glad you are enjoying my videos, hoibsh.
Hi Dave as a self professed trivia fan I am trying to figure out how I never heard of this show! You are right that is the worst theme song I have heard!
Terri is lovely, to thank you for bringing this to my attention I am subscribing to your channel. I can see there is always more to learn and you are a great teacher. Keep em coming!
Thanks for subscribing Deb!
Well done as always 🥰
Thank you so much 😀
I knew of the show but never watched it. Was in service at the time
Thank you for your service, good sir!
You wanna live forever!?
Well done Dave I never watched that show you got me
You're not the only one who doesn't remember this show, Danny!
I'm usually pretty good with these retro TV shows but this one stumps me !
I'm hearing that from a lot of folks today, PI!
She was so gorgeous(STILL IS) i had such a Crush on her as a Kid, and i knew that she found her faith in the late 80's. But i heard a rumour that she actually dated PRINCE for very short while (or someone in the band Shalimar,something like that)😁
@Filmation77 She was married to Micky Free, from the group Shalimar. They had a daughter together.
@@suzimajor9532 ah ok. FYI there's an interview with him online on the VLAD TV channel
OMG!!! What you said is soooooooooooo true!!! I just recently saw that episode of Quantum Leap, and all throughout, I kept thinking, she looks so familiar. I had actually seen her before, but that thing about her looking like Marilyn Monroe, you really nailed it. She really should've played her in the movies or on tv because, man, she really does look, a heck of a lot like her!!! 😁👍
That moment when you go to comment, and the subject of the video is the pinned comment.
And it's all kindness, love and support?!? Will wonders never cease.
I often wondered what happened to Ms. Copley; I'm very happy to see that she's very happy and doing well. I have one real memory of the show: the guys got Mickey to try a new client's self tanning lotion, but it turned her skin blue. She came out of the bathroom and said a line that is somehow burned into my brain.
"I look like a giant Smurf!" (i was 13 at the time)
Thanks for sharing, lexxstrum!
Don't know much about her, but very interesting video!
Thanks Tammy!
Your welcome!
I met her at a McDonald's in Los Angeles...Such a sweetheart
How cool is that?!!? Thanks for sharing, Brandi.
About 3 months ago I watched a block of 80 Pilots, and the two that I had almost forgotten about were (We Got It Maid and Too Close For Comfort). It also found one of my brother's favorite shows from the late 70s early 80s, James at 16.
They should just call TH-cam, rabbit hole... because you can spend hours watching failed sitcoms, pilots and shows from your childhood.
It's a rabbit hole that I love going down!
To "theylied1776" . . . That started out as "James at 15." Then, most memorably, halfway through its single NBC season, when on Feb. 9, 1978 in the pivotal episode 'The Gift,' wherein James loses his virginity to Norwegian stunner and near-every teen boys' (and many of their dads') fantasy, Kirsten Baker, 20th Century Fox Television upped its property's title a year to "James at 16."
A good, under-rated show that -- unfortunately for many -- did not survive to renewal for a second season.
I loved James at 15 and 16! The character James and I were the same age so I could definitely relate to the characters on the show. "James" was played by actor Lance Kerwin, who today is a recovering drug addict and a born again Christian who I think lives in Hawaii. Dave should do a video profile on Lance Kerwin.
01:02 - 01:03 The creators' names flash by in LESS THAN a second. Perhaps that's an indication of how "proud" they were to be associated with the far-from-stellar "We Got It Made."
To all those complaining about the theme song -- I wholeheartedly agree. How NBC let that main title slip by is a mystery of the '80s -- and 'one for the ages.'
But, thanks to our host, Dave Sundstrom, for this brief visit -- first time for most; 'a trip down memory lane' for others.
😊👍 Dave's videos are awesome.
Her's was the only pin up girl poster I ever had on my wall.
Which poster? Little white outfit with a belt, pink sweater on the beach or white satin clutching pillow?
@@bobdavis4848 Cut up white t-shirt. Crouching in front of a backdrop.
@@ThePlaySpace-CurtainCall Also smiling with hand on her knee, and white shorts matching cut up shirt white color, and barefoot, with "We Got It Made" font? If so, I bought two of those and a mini-version that says "TERI" at the top.
@@bobdavis4848 That's the one.
@@ThePlaySpace-CurtainCall There are several pics online from the same shoot, same outfit, you can see several if you do a google image search and scroll enough.
Dave always has the good stuff!
I thought I was the only one that remembered the show and Teri Copley.
I think We got it made came along about three years too late. By the 80s America was easing into the comfy arms of Family ties and The cosby Show (the show's arms, not Bills!) and the show kind of missed the "risque" vibe it was going for. But yes, Teri was a very beautiful and engaging actress and I always kind of wondered why she didn't do more. There was definitely a Suzanne Somers vibe there. But I suppose the networks type cast her as the dumb blonde as they so often do and that was that. Very happy to hear she found comfort in a higher power and that seems to sustain her. Wishing her much luck, and thanks again Dave
Great video Dave! I remember "We've Got It Made", but didn't remember that opening theme song at all. You're right! It's horrible!
Glad you enjoyed it, Steve!
I'm so glad she's doing well. I remembered the show but not the theme song.
listen, bless you for being in Playboy. sure theres a certain stigma surrounding that choice or material (especially then) and now. but when your that beautiful and young / only once in life its a gift and blessing for all mankind. twas only right to highlight total naked beauty in a ugly mean world. its a no brainer... and she deserved every bit of praise and compliments and so much more $$. i thank you.
Ha! Crazy, How Do I even remember this show? It was only on for a short moment. I do remember her. Remember having a bit of a crush on her, her smile pretty, unique and awesome.
As always Dave, thanks for the memory. ❤️✌🏾
I caught this show as a rerun on my local channels, it was already 1990. I didn’t know about about the previous iteration. The theme song and intro was much cooler, and the trio was Hillner, Copley and Villard by then. I loved that show, specially, the “Fatal Attraction” episode.😂
Thanks for sharing!
Three's Company in reverse is something I never thought of but it makes sense. I remember being 12 and being so excited for the show to premier, if you remember NBC promoted the heck out of it, and I also remember not being disappointed either. The reboot they made of it wasn't so good but that sure wasn't her fault as she was the best thing about it. So glad you mentioned her Quantum Leap episode as it was one of the best episodes of the whole show. Thank you for making this video and how awesome that she commented on this. I'm sure that made your heart beat a little faster. Love you Teri.
Thank you so much for all your kind words...God Bless you forevermore!
Very good video as usual. That was one show I could barely make three episodes of before I couldn't watch it anymore. I love Three's Company but not this show.
Glad you enjoyed it, Vinnie! And, like you, I think this show is nowhere near as good as "Three's Company".
@@jdsundstrom absolutely. It could not compare with Three's Company.
@@VinnieGRandomVlogs That 'dig' at "We Got It Made" said, you'll appreciate my reply to "Poker Face" a few comments above yours.
For some reason, I always have tended to lean towards brunettes BUT Teri was (and still is) my first real blonde crush! Loved her voice and innate sweetness that always shown through in every performance she gave,
"Hey Snake we make a good tame....got a job for yay?"
The name's Plissken!
@@dadahdee 😁👍
Teri was a true sweet beauty back in that era and still is Im sure, but back then she was the closest to Marilyn that we ever saw, to this day there are none closer to looking and acting like the most beautiful woman that ever walked the earth, Marilyn Monroe
I remember a heartbreaking interview she did on Dale Evans' show on TBN. Miss Dale was so loving and kind to Teri.
Thanks for sharing! I'll have to see if I can find that interview. It certainly sounds interesting.
I was brought here because I was so curious who the woman is in the Quantum Leap episode I just watched. Gorgeous and peppy perfect acting. I admire the transition in your life.
Poor Tom Villard from "We Got It Made" was an early casualty of AIDS.
I remember. Super sad.
I didn't know that. I saw him on an episode of the golden girls.
I did not know that, how sad.
my friend. rip.
Later, she was in another short-lived sitcom that I enjoyed based on a real life romance between a teacher and a movie star.
I don't remember that one!
I never heard of her or the show, the only the person I recognised in the opening credits, was Stephanie Kramer from the tv show Hunter, now that was a good cop show.
Hunter was a freakin' great show!
Stepfanie. I never saw "Hunter" but saw every WGIM episode.
@@bobdavis4848 Teri Copley and her former co-star both -- will appreciate your correction of Stepfanie Kramer's spelling of her name -- as much or even more than your obvious "WGIM" fandom.
@@scvandy3129 What a nice comment; thank you very much! I consider myself an ardent feminist and even something simple like correcting a name misspelling, I feel compelled to do, hoping I don't embarrass or offend the one who made the mistake. That was not the intention; just setting the record straight was. I also have corrected misspelling of Micki Free's name and would also write Rest In Peace to Christopher Mayer and Tom Villard, as they were all important people in Teri's life too. I'm sorry about the times Teri's own first name has been misspelled, too. Have a blessed day.
Thanks for the Upload 👍 !! Xd All on NBC !!..
Any time!
Dave I tried sweeping away the cobwebs in my brain but this show just was not to be found! I remember Teri's name but not the actual show.She's sort of a Farrah Fawcett,Pam Anderson mix.Very lovely and Stephanie Kramer-wow- plenty of eye candy there! As far as theme songs,they used to be used to set up the premise or introduce characters.A lot of shows today don't even have openings they just transition into the next show.More time for commercials maybe? Thanks for some new content on forgotten TV.
I miss the days of the good old fashioned theme song!
"Mr Led" -- More time for commercials maybe? "Maybe? MOST definitely."
For some reason I think you talked about her within the past year
13 months ago to be exact. However, I took the video down after a couple of months when I became aware of a couple of inaccuracies. This version is greatly expanded over the other one...and, most importantly, the information contained within is correct. 🙂
I forgot she was in quantum leap definitely remember that
Love "Quantum Leap".
Me to dave watched it all when it was on Netflix
Quantum leap would be a good video for you do one on Dave
Also check out the stolen Dave with Alice eve on Netflix
also check out cop car with Kevin bacon on Netflix
Thank-you for exposing me to these TV/Movie/Music rarities.
Would love to watch a segment on why you think some TV shows/episode (of any decade) are more endearing or successful than others.
I'm glad you are enjoying my videos.
Theme song, now ringtone.
Tnx dude!
Nice!
I worked at QVC and met Anson Williams. He has stayed busy... behind the scenes. I knew Teri became a born again Christian. As long as she is happy and harms nobody, it's good.
Well said! Thanks for sharing, Danice!
I remember the TV show as a kid but too young to watch or understand it but I thought she looked so much like Marilyn Monroe. Teri Copley is now a child of God and focuses on her faith. It’s a lovely story.
I remember the episode where Mickey spoiled The Return of the Jedi!! We had recorded the episode on our Quasar VCR and watched it all the time!
Lloyd Braun was one of the guys. I had her poster. Think I still have it somewhere.
Collector's item!
Dave you are awesome.
Thanks!
I liked this show. Teri was on Joan Rivers talk show with the legendary Vanity talking about leaving show business for religious reasons.
I think I never watched the show because of the presumptuous way it was being sold, at a time when I was cutting instead of adding TV hours. I hadn't heard the theme, and didn't know Stephanie Kramer was in the csst. The theme is fine as a Doo-Wop, what ruins it is the ham-fisted way they unnecessarily try to cram some words in. A choice should have been made : All Doo-Wop or start over. And I would vote for the Doo-Wop. I liked it.
The funny thing is that We Got it Made came out in the same era as Cheers and BOTH on NBC.
No dig on Teri, it was the show that was bad, not her directly.
I don't really remember "We got it made" and didn't remember Stephanie Kramer being in that show. I don't think you mentioned that in your "Here's why SK said goodbye to Hunter" video.
I remember this show fondly. The acting was terrible, but she had a bubbly presence and Tom Villard was an entertaining goofball.
I watched this back in 83 besides the obviously Copely, I had a thing for Stephanie Kramer cause of this show. Which led me to be a fan of Hunter!
I'm working on a video on Stepfanie right now. I thought she was great on Hunter as well.
I own that issue of Playboy with her. I loved her in the movie 'Transylvania Twist' which is a parody of horror movies, and even though it may be a lesser known movie [and incredibly hard to find-but i do own a copy] she really shows that she has a great sense of humor and great comic timing. I so had a crush on Stepfanie Kramer though. What is surprising, is none of the cast of the show went on to become major 'A' players. They all had a movie or two, but they never really broke out into big stars. Stepfanie did the series 'Hunter', and some TV movies, but i think that was it. Have you done a video on Stepfanie Kramer? If not, you should.
Totally agree. I need to do a video on Stephanie Kramer.
@@jdsundstrom ... He spelled it correctly.
Ah, "Transylvania Twist" (1989) -- a candidate for the nadir of Teri's co-star Robert Vaughn's career. And based on some of Teri's scenes, the nadir for the cinematographer and make-up artist, both of whom did the curvy, pretty blonde no favors.
I was a couch potato and NEVER remembered this show...weird I don't remember 😲
And you had two chances! First on NBC in 1983 and then four years later as a new show in syndication.
@@jdsundstrom ikR....bf got in the way lol! Darn it Tim!!!
Nobody watched this show, lasted one season.farrah fawcett blew her out of the water...
@@jdsundstrom Three, not four.
@@jeffreyknight3884 "Nobody watched this show" -- Somebody was watching 'cause the bigwigs at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Television knew differently, that's why they took a gamble and financed the first-run syndication season.
. . . . Farrah's face, smile, teeth, hair ( H A I R !! ) were dazzling, together, second-to-none for sure. Comparing the two, Teri was TOPS in the figure department, hands-down; no argument there. . . . Fact: by the time of the second season's launch, 1987, it had been an entire decade since Farrah's first-and-only-full season on "Charlie's Angels," 1976 - 77.
Sadly and unfairly, in Hollywood ageism rears its head and plays off differences like that.
Matt McCoy CURRENTLY DOING COMMERCIALS FOR CAR INSURANCE!
Dave, I really liked the very talented and very beautiful Teri Copley's performances in "We Got It Made" and I liked the show AND the theme song. The theme song was just meant to be an amusing little intro ditty and I think it served the purpose perfectly. I videotaped each episode as well as the "I Married a Centerfold" TV movie. I wish I had known of "The Star Maker" with Teri and Rock Hudson at the earlier time. I was surprised your great feature did not include mention of Teri's three pinup posters. I bought them all, a couple of extras and smaller versions too and I still have them up. I was disappointed when she was in Playboy because Playboy in general is too explicit for my comfort. I scoured tabloids to buy any of them with any mention or image of her even though I though tabloids in general were disrespectful to others. I am only now discovering this video so I am too late for when Teri checked all your comments a month ago; I hope she'll come back to read this and any other newer comments. I am very glad she is satisfied with her spirituality. Personally I am not religious and I've been rejected by others because of that, even though I believe in "do unto others..." and especially after tragedy I wish more then ever to help others. I do however wish others "blessings" and I appreciate the kindheartedness that motivates people to say "God bless you" and similar. I take my veganism as seriously as others take religion. I've wondered for decades if Teri knew of my combination of thoughts and traits expressed here regarding her career and her and my beliefs, if she'd be glad / happier or somewhat disgusted / displeased or a mix. Maybe I'll never know. I wish the best for her and you!
I am not a religious person, not will I ever be, but I am happy Teri found her footing in life, though I am quite concern about her Dr. Phil appearance, whatever happened with her daughter should have been a private family concern.
I would agree that we would all be better off with less shows like Dr. Phil where families air their dirty laundry. That said, as a nation (and beyond perhaps), we have a fascination with that kind of stuff.
@@jdsundstrom Dave I agree with you about needing fewer shows like Dr.Phil; he also humiliated a little girl on TV for asking an innocent question.
