What can I say about this show? This show is what got me interested in network television shows albeit I was very young when this show aired originally ( around 7 or 8) I still got hooked. And now when I get lucky enough to find one of my old VHS tapes that still is watchable I find that the show ages well. It is just as funny now as it was then, well I mean some of the jokes are a little cornier now but thats cool. The show, to me at least, defined what TGIF was to young people of my generation. Growing up in the early 90s and late 80s its what you did. On Friday night you watched TGIF and this show was a great addition to that line up. Too bad ABC canceled the show in its prime.

A Family Ties wannabe? I wouldn't hardly agree with that! The Seaver family from Growing Pains had much more character and likability for me anyways than the cast from family ties. Now I'm not trashing family ties at all.....But Growing Pains just had a much better cast in my opinion. I mean Tracey Gold? Come on. It didn't get much better than that in the late 80s and early 90s. When this show originally aired I was very young. So naturally when I caught that the show was re-running on Disney I thought hey I'm gonna check this out and hope it isn't as corny as some of the other stuff I use to watch when I was little....well much to my surprise the show holds up nicely. You actually care about the characters.
