Mmm, I vaguely remember that during my formative years, pretty sure I enjoyed it.

If it is the show that was just called Whoops, the sitcom about survivors on a farm after the cold war went hot, then yes I remember it, and even as a kid I thought it was terrible.

It was pretty much a generic 80s sitcom except instead of a bunch of zany people living in an apartment in NY or Chicago they lived in a farm house and the rest of the world was dead.

I recall the hippie chick character survived because the basement of her feminist bookstore was a fallout shelter, and the main guy made it through while sitting at a drive up bank window, because he was driving a Volvo and they can survive anything.

Now that I think about it I think I might see if I can find it...

You know what, there was a US show called Whoops in 92 on Fox

You are likely referring to the more political satire British show, which I have no knowledge of.

That is the one I meant, as the Wiki article about it describes something more in line with a cold war satire then a sitcom about survivors of the war.
