Useless Commodity
The legendary sitcom that somehow ran for six seasons despite nobody being able to explain the plot.
“Everybody’s got a plan. Vinnie’s just happen to be terrible.”
Useless Commodity is a beloved late-70s sitcom about Vinnie DeLuca, an endlessly optimistic hustler navigating friendship, work, romance, and one bad idea after another. Armed with street smarts, dubious wisdom, and an opinion on everything, Vinnie somehow manages to be both the cause of and solution to most of life’s problems. Set in working-class Montreal, the show became famous for its sharp humor, colorful characters, and Vinnie’s unforgettable way of describing people who should have known better.
“Trust me.”
“I had a better idea yesterday.”
“How bad could it be?”
