I must admit, it was kind of nice seeing the cast of "Married... With Children" be themselves and out of a character for a change. I mean, I'm sure the entire cast is sick & tired of people imitating them instead of taking them seriously. After all, even people on TV put pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of us. So I was impressed to see everyone just talking --- Ed O'Neill especially. He seemed very intelligent and civilized, unlike his character, "Al Bundy". So I was not surprised to read that Ed O'Neill used to teach social studies before he started acting. That just goes to show how "right on the money" the Simpsons was in the episode when Bart went on the Conan O'Brian show, but all Conan wanted was for Bart to say his infamous "I didn't do it" line.

What can I say? This sitcom was a complete bite-off of "Married... With Children", with a puppet to accompany to the show just like "ALF". Although, I must admit that Nikki Cox was the only reason I watched that show. Sure, Christina Applegate was sexy too, but no contest to Nikki! Another similarity is that the theme song is an actual oldies song (Ray Charles's "Hit The Road, Jack") while "Married... With Children's" theme song is the late Frank Sinatra's "Love & Marriage".

I began high school in September of 1993, the exact same month & year that "Saved by the Bell: The New Class" premiered. So I thought it was cool to grow up with this show... until I noticed that it was still on after I graduated high school in June of 1997. So this show didn't conclude until the year 2000! That made absolutely no sense.
