Nothing in Common (1986 film)

Nothing in Common is an American sitcom television series which aired on NBC from April 2 to June 3, 1987. Based on the 1986 film of the same name directed by Garry Marshall and starring Tom Hanks and Jackie Gleason, the series starred Todd Waring as David Basner and Bill Macy as David's father Max Basner. Seven episodes were broadcast immediately after the highly- rated series Cheers, but failed to retain the strong audience of that series and was cancelled after only seven episodes had aired.

Todd Waring later reprised another Hanks role in a 1988 television sequel to Splash for The Wonderful World of Disney titled Splash, Too.
