gentlemen welcome to another episode Jesse and Wilder's Guide to Life. My name's Jesse, his name's Wilder, this is Jesse and Wilder's Guide to Life. It is medium. Now it was good and that's why you said something because you never even say anything about it anymore.
Yeah but I used to if you recall our early days. That was one of our first bits. Right but this one was so good it took you back in time a little bit. It took me back in time when I used to talk about how bad your intros were.
No they were pretty good. It was medium. It was sort of a jealousy thing is why you attacked them. Well I mean maybe it is.
Maybe I want to introduce the episode one time. Well do it then coward. Do it right now. Hit me with your sauce.
It's too late. No no no it's too late. Alright good I didn't want to hear it anyways. Uh today we have a very special episode for you.
Yeah the energy is high. Yeah the energy is high and it's hot. It's not high. But I wouldn't say it's low.
It's moved. My energy personally is moving in a lateral direction. Do you know what I'm saying? Not really.
It's not, I'm not peaking and it's not quite a valley. I'm in a weird... A plateau. It's not really a plateau either is it.
It's a you know when you jump into a pool. You jump you dive into a pool and that rush of sort of the sound of being underwater when everything else gets drowned out. It's like you know what I'm talking about? Sure.
That's how my energy is right now. So I would describe that as bad. I didn't know. I didn't say it.
I don't want to feel like your underwater baby gonna drown. I just wanted all of them saying is that it was not high or low but bad yeah for sure. Mm-hmm. What about you?
What kind of what kind of uh sort of analogy do you have to describe your energy? Oh I'm a young I'm a young buck baby. I'm just waiting. I'm waiting for my moment.
Season. Mm-hmm. What do you mean? What does that mean?
When I when I said young buck I did mean like a gazelle. No the opposite of that like a cheetah. What's something that prowls and waits? Oh dude you're all over the animal kingdom right now.
A bunch of missiles. This is a good start dude. This is a good start dude. You know why?
Because you didn't let me do the intro and now because of that. This sucks out loud so far. You've never done the intro. Yeah, but you don't know you don't know what I got.
Alright vote on your phones America text yes to 71489. This is our first time we're doing our call our sort of text and voting text. Yes. Uh-huh.
To 749169 if you want Wilder to do the intro. Correct. Anyways today we're gonna talk about family sitcoms. Yeah and it's not like not like a sitcom for the family.
That like it's not like a like a family film. Well but they usually are I would say. I guess but it's not like it's not that makes me think like it's like a children's sitcom. You know what I mean?
It's not just for children. Right. So I would say that a sitcom about a family. Okay so I think that there are probably lots of lots of types of sitcoms but in my mind there's three core sitcoms right.
There's uh there's Workplace sitcom with the office your Parks and Rec. Yeah. There's friends sitcoms like Seinfeld and Friends and Big Bang Theory as the Friends new girl. Yeah and then there's Family sitcom which is like your modern family obviously Fresh Prince of Bel Air is a family sitcom.
I don't know why I couldn't think of a more modern example than that. Yeah well that's the last that's the last show that you watch. King of Queens and Everybody Loves Raymond that that deadly duo that grew some two-some both family sitcoms I would say. Yeah and uh you're probably thinking like oh finally a topic that they're well versed in.
Right. Think again I haven't seen a lot of the most famous sitcoms and a lot of them are the family ones. Yeah it's interesting because I have I will say that I have a decent grip on this. It's just because now currently you watch way more shows than I do but like not a single one of them is a family sitcom.
Well yeah you don't have any of these well and I think that my I feel like my backlog is is tighter than yours like my old show Big Time situation is a little bit better than yours so do you have at least a favorite family comedy like do you have one that comes to mind is like oh that's the one I've seen the most of or I enjoy the most or is it just like a blank slate up there. Let me just give you a little slice of the Wabu life story. Wabu was a movie guy and didn't really fucks with TV until right around high school when Lost and the office started airing in 2004. That was the first time I ever really started paying attention to the T.V.
What I did was watch a lot of Disney Channel because they played movies all the time. So if I watched any TV shows it was the Disney show so for me my go-to family sitcoms are like Lizzie McQuiz and Eve Steve. Yeah everyone's favorite family's the McQuiz and the Steve. Lizzie McQuizy my dude.
Yeah. Um Lizzie McQuizy such a better title. And those are two programs we've talked about this before but I was not a Disney Channel kid for whatever reason and those are two programs that I never fucked with. I it wasn't none of these shows that I've seen were by any means like a point in the television for me or my family it wasn't like we were like oh yeah we gotta go rip through this.
I haven't seen possibly the most famous family sitcom ever maybe the most famous sitcom ever I've never seen really any of it and this I guess is a bombshell but I'm not a Simpsons guy I never watched it I don't really know anything more than what I learned in the GameCube Crazy Taxi Simpsons. Interesting. You know I hadn't even thought about the Simpsons as a family sitcom but your but it is right it's gotta be um interesting yeah so that's I mean I'm pretty much a Lizzie McQuizy guy and I also watched I re-watched Lizzie McQuizy at the beginning of quarantine back when I thought quarantine would last like two months tops right right and Disney Plus hit everyone's like oh this will get us all on there. Yeah we've just begun to cut through you Steve.
Oh damn. Like why don't you throw me out throw out some of the of the of the ones that you'll probably be talking about let me tell you what I could get it on. Well my my absolute favorite one is Malcolm in the Middle for sure. Yeah and I I only seem like the first season and that's when it was on right so I don't really remember much of it.
I remember that Cranston is a is a lovely human being on that show. What y'all got to understand about this episode is one much like all of the episodes were stupid but two it's not about like oh obviously like the show has always been it's not about like oh well it's it's we're talking about archetypes right we're not gonna rank like oh you haven't seen Malcolm in the middle so we can't talk about dad Cranston how like that it just I assume that he's no different in that show than he isn't breaking down am I right to assume that it's absolutely identical so I that's the one that I love the most it's most near and dear to me Jeremy Renner's in the pilot I know that. Yeah he is I think he's the cop and he's in I think that he's in the intro sequence so he's he's if you wanted to cut it this way nice in every single episode of Malcolm in the middle in that sense that's that's good stuff yeah so that's that's for sure my favorite one but I hadn't even considered the Simpsons I have not watched any new Simpsons in probably a decade but that actually was appointment TV for me and my dad we're like every I think Sunday we would watch the Simpsons and I watch the fuck out of it in syndication you know what I don't recommend being alive when the Simpsons is alive because 35 times a year some will go oh it's like that Simpsons when and you go I know and the tough thing is that you it is wild that you've not seen much Simpsons I feel a little bit I'm in a weird uh mid space where I have seen a lot of Simpsons but people that love the Simpsons and no disrespect to them many of them are close personal friends of mine really fucking know a lot about the Simpsons yeah and I've just they're like oh yeah it's like the one that gets me is not when this happened to the Simpsons the one that gets me is like oh yeah it's like um like Jeremy Bubblebutt and I'm like who and they're like oh from the Simpsons that one episode okay you can't give me one episode Simpsons character please that's not yeah but it's one of those shows that like it's uh it's it's a big old fandom for them Simpsons yeah and I can't even it's not even something that like Malcolm the middle I went back and rewatched I couldn't tell you how many seasons there are but it's not more it's not more than like eight yeah it holds up in a major way um but but the Simpsons like it's still going that Malcolm that that freaking unit is sure make me sad all damn on Twitter you know about his whole life uh maybe not sweet boy got that that brain injury from his racing and he doesn't even remember being on Malcolm the middle do you not know about this shut up you're lying what no I'm not dog he he like has like a legitimate horrible memory loss and apparently he like talks to Cranston and they will tell him about old times it's very sad bro you sure he's not are you sure Frankie Munaz is not being a big fat liar dude no dog a reputable source told me I was outside the 7-Eleven and a guy out there it was saying that oh no oh I mean yeah when you googles at Frankie Munaz the first thing is net worth and the second thing is memory loss wow you know it's like a it's very sad uh it makes it just literally makes me very sad he seemed like a good boy i got nothing against him yeah and he's he's great in the show everyone's great in the show um something i'll get out right now that is a personal bias of mine that i think comes up pretty regularly is that i'm always a bigger fan of the families that comes about poor people and that is Malcolm the middle's whole shit is that they're poor uh same thing with like Roseanne um and then if you're gonna ask you a question on is shit's creeca family sitcom yes yes it's gotta be i yeah and that one is a big heater yeah i haven't seen the last season but yeah nor have i but that's fine that's good that at least we have a point of reference there um the other thing about Malcolm middle which i'll talk about a lot throughout this whole episode but i do just want to get out now uh was a little bit of a pioneer in its time because it was one of the first uh family sitcoms that ditched the laugh track and sitcoms in general yeah single camera single cam ditch the laugh track a little bit ahead of its time in that sense and like when's the last time there was besides shit's like a legit good family sitcom i know people are wild about the goldbergs are they i don't need the goldbergs i can just go home to my fucking family who is wild about the goldbergs oh i'm not getting if you have you heard someone say they don't like it oh boy i mean i've never heard anyone talk about it only people i know that like that bring it up like love that shit but also no no but also you're very wrong because modern family swept to the end he's like seven years in a row like yeah yeah and i did watch a lot of that so i think that you're tripping a little bit but i've never heard a single soul could not even is goldberg still in the air pretty sure it is people love that dog that shit's been running eight seasons i just looked at holy hell they cannot get enough of a goldbergs that's i mean it's crazy what else you need you got jeff garland you got that little fat kid that i always played young jack black that's enough for me baby yeah oh the jeff garland a legit i am a big fan no jeff garland rips there's no that's it he does the other big one that i feel like we're leaving out that's important to me is the married with children family yeah i never seen it i never seen king of queens i never seen i guess oh i should mention him bro i did appear on a family sitcom in my youth oh yes you might as well get that out if you've been wondering where you recognize me from if you've been wondering where do i know that guy from where do i know that guy from it is because i played trick or treat or number two on an episode of the nanny in 1997 there you go is that a family sitcom people love that shit the nanny i think so yeah i'm gonna hit you with i'm looking up family sitcoms right now uh arrested development another family sitcom another banger that you've seen a lot of a contender for my favorite show of all time right right right brov brov the monsters how about that no obviously i've never seen the monsters you bungas don't even ask me about the monsters oh dinosaurs baby yeah dinosaurs dinosaurs dinosaurs is rosane but for dinosaurs so yes do you remember how that show ends uh no i just remember it was buck the same way the dinosaurs did in real life oh my god of course yeah it's dark how about that show multi-camera setup no laugh track it's very scary a very scary weird show we got the tailors from home improvement we also have the tanners from full house didn't see home improvement never saw any of that full house never saw any of the what are the other big ones i saw a little bit of everybody loves raiment because uh i want to talk about someone that i will never get sick of it is that ray romano you love ray romano you can do no wrong in my eyes i actually want i'm gonna do something i'm pressing it here i kind of want to start with a bonus point get on with it a rip and ask theme song that's a fact like it's not something that's gonna lose you points if you don't have it the theme song for malcolm the middle is that like you're not the boss of me that is unfair that's okay rips i love it so much um yeah you're you're loving that shit uh pete and peat is hay sandy no hold on i want to talk more about theme song though well no that's Polaris i was gonna say hay sandy by peat like the pete and peat and peat and peat and peat and peat god damn it okay what what other good ass theme song you got like is that not going to be in the middle is it malcolm in the middle is that an original or is that like uh is it like a scrubs how that was a song no i think it was a song already and i think that either one can i love an original dog i love an original yeah so what what kind of original what what's your well okay the best theme song that's popping in my head at the moment because things don't really have theme songs anymore and it's not a family sitcom but you probably don't watch it somebody feed phil i definitely don't watch it because it's phil rosythal the creator of everybody loves raiment uh his food show uh but you're unfortunately there is a correct answer to best family sitcom theme song uh and it is the most well-known one and it is fresh prince right gotta be fresh prince i think that a common thing in family sitcoms that i do kind of eat up is a dumb dad right all basically love it every family sitcom has dumb dad i don't want fat ugly dad with hot white no that's very can we agree that's very not quite late it's usually not a go dad it's usually dumb dad with the exception of kevin james what else we got because rimano not uggo rimano's is uggo you just have to crush on him no his voice uggo dog he didn't like no dog dog dog he doesn't even have the worst voice on that show and o'neill has been the uggo dad in two different families that comes with a hot wife oh yeah and they really they really cranked it up by a million percent in modern family that exists for sure yeah his wife is 20 000 times hotter than him in that show yeah i would also say simpson's counts march fine as hell homer a big fat idiot yeah you love that nasty blue hair you don't what do we think about nerd dad with hot wife to me that's lizzie mcguysie sounds like you're talking oh lizzie mcguysie and modern fam i think mr robert karradine and robert karradine is the dad in that yeah baby and he's a nerd he's literally the most famous nerd he's room revenge of the nerds oh you acting surprised right now baby i was thinking of keith karradine i was thinking of who's the co-man who's thinking of special agent londi no i'm thinking of you think another one that killed himself yep david karradine yeah the illustrious karradine family they're not all the same are they yeah jesus christ nerd dad with hot self-life i also think phil from modern family is a nerd dad with a hot wife okay i'm looking at a picture of married with children uh-huh first of all i did not know katie segull was on the show okay her hair is exquisite yes correct edo neil i would not call it's not like he's what he looked like a modern family he's young and much more still ugly dude i don't want to come off as some sort of edo neil apologist okay wait hold on i picked a particularly good picture but now i'm looking through more and it's not great yeah and they make him uglier in the show is that christina apple gate yeah baby what cast probably my favorite sitcom family sitcom parents like i said i really like macaron dittle but i i put fresh prince like unclesville fucking charades he's very powerful i think too independently powerful is very quite lit to me you know who else got to be uggo dad with hot wife fred and will maflinstone right oh yeah big time big time fred the world's biggest jebrony yeah if you want to really make someone like sad tell them they look like fucking spread flintstone oh i describe my own feet as fred and it is not a compliment where we think about single parent what's a sitcom with a single parent arrested development baby oh yeah and i guess the nanny the two two that we've talked about already also you were on one and you said one is maybe your favorite show of all time fucking dingus yeah put it in there it's nothing for me it is what it is i can take it or leave it hot shot over here what do you love about it so much because i think it's because i like it because instead of underwriting two characters you could just make a good one character you know i mean you like it because it's a lazy man's writing game what type of kids you think how many okay great question because i tell you what's too many the brady bunch maybe the first family oh my god how many fucking kids i'm not 400 kids i'm very not quite lit brady bunch under kids one kid i don't i don't want that either i don't think but worrying what's funny about that nothing is funny about that although again shit arrest development bro is one kid but i don't think that counts as one kid yeah yeah you're right i also don't even know if that really counts a single parent because that's a lot of people it's a family unit so i think two to three is your sweet spot yeah what's wonder years oh yeah wonder yours is a family sitcom how many how many kids i don't know i haven't seen enough wonder yours but you want to talk about a ripping ass theme song holy shit happy days you're thinking happy no i'm not i think i have Joe cockers what would you do if i said that yeah it's medium what you mean happy days instead happy day sucks come on that's my ring back sunday monday that's your shit yeah bro these days are all happy days that sucks please text about in wilder sucks about the happy days theme song happy days theme song very quite little dude that's also not a family sitcom but never seen i think two to three the sweet spot i think even stevens is two right evens is three who's the third donny stevens baby he's like the star athlete he's the oldest oh interesting yeah although my favorite my favorite one has four kids so maybe i don't need four dude that's too many fucking yeah i mean the fourth and alchemy middle is like off at military camp most of the time and what do we think about the youngest kid being smartest kid i love that shit yeah all right like when the baby is like school and that that's a knock on the middle right well no the malcolm is the smartest one by a long shot is he middle oh he's middle okay can i get it holy shit is that why it's called that oh my god come on dog i agree with youngest kid being the smartest is good i like that i got a family sitcom that i was riding high on for a minute i kind of fell off but i was i watched at least the first at least two and a half to three seasons was fresh off the boat oh yeah i wasn't very much enjoyed that show for a little bit yeah well tell me about it kind of what the modern family route for me where it was like every episode was identical so i kind of gave up the thing i don't know if this goes on the rubric somewhere the thing that i both appreciated and did not like about modern family uh which like a couple of shows are guilty of this is that every single episode was like it's someone's birthday it's a holiday it's yeah like and i guess in a way their argument to be made is like that's how families kind of function you see each other when there's a birthday or someone's graduating or but not they all live together yeah they're all pretty close what do we think about rivals i love it i think antagonist has got to be the uh but who is the would you prefer the main would you prefer the rivals of children's rival or the parents right like do the parents have rivals on these shows it's feel like so is the kids no i think parents have rivals let's take one we both seem let's look at uh arrest development is michael's antagonist his whole family it's a good for sure okay in family antagonist i'm i'm actually it's not as good to me as an out of family antagonist would you agree with that yes like a like a neighbor as an antagonist versus that is that home improvement doesn't that look over offense yeah but that's not the antagonist that guy's like a these to me yes he is i'm gonna catch you peeping over your little people right at me while i'm trying to grill or whatever i'm doing you're my fucking enemy yeah that's actually fair Wilson from home improvement is the bad guy for sure because like also they have kids and this guy just like how do you like i don't think so bub you love wilson i like a antagonist over the course of many episodes yeah a kid's antagonist like a bully i don't i don't give a shit about that do you care about that uh i kind of like a bully because i love to see a bully get his come up and okay all right all right like on on eve steve there's that their nasty little critter with all that nasty you talking about it's not it's not beans it's not it's not gonna say you're talking critters no but beans is very very quite lit is being i can't get enough of these oh pals dude yes i like i really like kid versus adult i like when a kid just fucking is the antagonist to an adult you know i'm talking about two and adult yeah yeah not right yeah no not a man grown man bullying a child oh my god i got a very quite lit parent i just want to give a shout out to oscar proud oh there you go god damn if he didn't do it for me i love that fucking guy that's a great that's another great family to come is Clarissa explains it all the family's like oh i don't remember how much about that show because i'm thinking of uh ferg face right isn't that her friend isn't that her pal yeah it's either one that climbs through the window yeah i sounds like a fucking antagonist to me if i'm into a teenage girl's window all night oh you know what toss him on very not quite lit i don't need ferg face okay but he's not the antagonist of the show yeah the window boy use the dang door he's not the antagonist of the show well i guess we put wilson in here huh okay well if we're putting wilson the ferg face is that that's that fucking ferg face whoof what a bad nickname for a person who was the same fergason yeah is boy meets world a family sitcom yes okay so i watch a lot of that so so here's my thought i named the three types of sitcoms that i think exist i also think that school is borderline because it borders family but i think boy meets world is almost a school sitcom yeah yeah yeah yeah but then yeah i don't know that's that gets dicey i think those get combined into family a lot you know i actually never i legit never watched which was uh i guess fortuitous now that he's a bad man was the Cosby show i never actually watched it yeah i mean either and yeah it's a good oh family sitcom bro family guy hate it yeah i mean but oh you want to talk about an original theme song i mean there you have it yeah that is kind of a vanger though yeah it's it's a it's a little bit of an yeah but that's a that's an i'll go with i'll go down to the hot so wife too i'd say what do we think about child with a disability i think that's a very quite let's get him in there and that's we want okay but that's mmm okay representation popping in that yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah is that a bonus point an all-time pal to me is malcon's best friend in oh yeah yeah yeah wheelchair the kick in the wheelchair what do we think about tomorrow from lizzie mcguysie best friend that's in love with you i don't need it to be honest i don't yeah maybe toss gordo and very not quite lit for pals oh thank god yeah gordo a little annoying oh my god think about the names of these Disney characters you have gordo you have beans are you kidding me? Ren is the most normal name of all of them where was the fucking gordo and beans spin off that we all want it oh my god are those in the same show imagine a show called gordo and beans it's just it sounds like a taco bell mustings gordo is my porn name oh we don't have to just put ourselves in these box too right like we don't have to say like well what exists so what do we like we are we can do whatever the fuck we want so i think the jeep jeep parents up to up to tricks yeah that's what i'm saying i don't have any specific uh example of that okay now we're now we're unlocking it now this is what happened when i get that's the truth we've seen you right he's up to he's up to many tricks in that show that's true that's true those are what do we agree the best tv grandparents i think like i don't even know who's the ill blue i don't even know who's in the fucking like even in the same breath as them maybe grandpa golberg though dog oh you write about that one you know what sucks is i guarantee if we have to sit in quarantine for another year you know the golberg's is gonna cross my mind i know you are you honestly don't even think it'll be a year i think in like three months you'll be like tonight i think it's i think it's golberg's i mean you already started watching fucking yellow stone you big freak well i not the gold it's basically the same show gotta be oh you know what for parents bro toss the same thing every week the one one of the main issues with fucking fresh off the b was like i don't need the mom to be so fucking angry and judgmental and and like strict every single episode mix it up maybe i know it's a sitcom but mix it up right now i mean that was that was my issue with uh i mean everybody also might be a classic uggo dad with a hot so life i cannot give randal park the hot so treatment very sorry to randal you know like randal park pretty handsome i i think randal park is handsome i think he's a little handsome he's he's charming he got that little devilish smile yeah that's it it's that smile i love that smile bonus points randal park smile oh my god i can't even like i'm looking at pictures of him right now and i can't the first one i saw he's not smiling and i was like oh wilder's right and then i clicked all the other pictures and i was like no way this cutie no way yeah i mean caused this woo beautiful randal park a goober for sure but the smile does get it going for other family members i i like a pop in i it's rare to me when you get this great this goes for all sitcoms this great sitcom side character and he doesn't outstay his welcome right right right oh i got i got a category for you it's tropes okay yeah what i don't like i know it's tv i don't need you to just come over to my house all the time yeah you don't just imagine if someone just knocked on the door was there and was like what's up i'm here yeah unannounced pop ins are all over the place of these shows oh my god you cannot just do that have some fucking boundaries yeah i agree i mean ferg-face just slamming a ladder up against the wind yeah that's why he's very not quite lit yeah i agree what do you think about a serious episode whether i hate them well it depends i don't watch the blackish program but apparently they had a very serious episode that was supposed to be uh the dopest dope you have a smote okay so like what if what if it's very pretty good because sometimes like for example our country you may have heard has some antics going on at the moment a couple of antics i would say she can there's at least a few antics in the united states of america so sometimes maybe a serious episode is good because you got this wide viewership all right you can get your message out but if it's like it has to be it has to be fucking topical guys right don't give me the the animal cruelty episode out of nowhere yeah so that's i think i'm i'm more thinking about like 80s 90s early 2000s where it's like uh and now we're talking about drug use and it's like oh i don't need it oh yeah this is the episode where bling-blong who's a character on my favorite show the bling-blongs yeah i don't need the episode where bling-blongs on meff i i like my family to be middle-class or poor but i mean shits and arrests that are two rich families and oh that that's the whole joke is that they're poor families that used to be rich i'm good with that well what what are some other what are some other rich families fresh prince i would say like fresh prince is a rich family but it's turned a little on its head because uh because will is from like the hood or whatever but i would suppose the nanny is a rich they have a freaking man and i think modern family those people are hell rich for kids the kids can be adults you know what i mean yeah because like brad garret obviously they're adults and they're still the kids i but i want to counter that i don't and i know this isn't anybody's fault and i just don't like it i don't like what the kids age in front of my eyes modern family started freaking me out i swear to god i was watching like i was flipping through the channels and modern family was on and i hadn't watched in maybe three or four years and i had no idea that that little child luke was a man luke oh man luke looks like he plays limacker for the fucking stealers and the two his two sisters look fucking 28 yeah it's it's why i hate that i hate seeing the kids get older it makes me we talked about it last time but two and a half men cannot be called that anymore no it's two it's two full men that's another man yeah that's a good title what do we think about like swapping out characters or actors so like two and a half men did it but also like fresh prince that you haven't seen much of for whatever reason aunt viv just like got changed the actress they just brought in a new viv do you mean like recasting or is like a different character but they're taking the place like you're talking about how fucking day wins junior was in the pilot a new girl did disappeared wins to came in so i'm counting both i'm counting that because that weirdly happens a lot so like the fucking war machine effect and yeah also the two and a half men effect where they're like well we this characters and i guess i can't think of any examples other than two and a half men but this character is leaving so we'll just get another character to be this character even though it's different i mean but it's also like that seems like it's beyond control right yeah it's usually because the actor in real life i don't think they're ever doing it for like because the writers decided to do it right i guess that's true i guess that's true i feel like settings going i i think that settings are often boring can we get a spicier setting you look like a period pieces that come oh see now you're talking what we think about that kind of sounds like it sucks okay bro you are literally describing the fucking goldbergs oh no it does it definitely does oh you love the goldbergs just admit it no wait but i did just say that sounds like it sucks okay uh oh oh i got one i got one for you as far as like interesting settings outside the box adam's family yeah that's fine haunted yeah it's like a haunted house they got lots of ghouls and grubbies going around you want to talk about a bang and theme song they're creepy yeah they're grown yeah that's that's oh okay happy days is fucking lame but you love adam's family oh my god bro if you think happy days is better than the adam's those are of equal corniness to me what you want to talk about a banger theme song baby it's jetson's time okay jane his wife so boring that song yeah that one i couldn't tell you anymore but i do remember enjoying it i only remember jane his wife might not even be jane it was better than the flintstones for sure that theme song was just fine so i want i'm gonna put it on your adam's family and i don't yeah okay that's monsters too right what's the difference between those shows well monsters is actual monsters oh they're they are but ark adam's family got a little fucking hand crawling around yeah but the main characters are just big freaks i think which one's besides the big fronk and sheen what other monsters are there in the monsters because it is adam's family am i correct right uh he's little in a little floating hand in the ghost grandpa those are all adam's family ghost grandpa is there a ghost is there a ghost is there a ghost grandpa okay i'm just telling you right now i'm putting ghost grandpa in very quite lit for other family without a doubt yeah oh i mean i guess that would be big mouth right you got the ghost of dee kellington up in the attic oh yeah i do yeah any ghosts in general that's a pal shout out to big mouth i love that fucking show yeah see that's another one where it's like it's school but also family the in the moonsters i think his wife is a vampir i'm looking at the adam's family 1964 his little boy that little boy is a vampire for sure oh no the boy is not a vampire the child in the monsters oh you're talking monsters now i straight up don't oh wait lurch is adam's family dog i don't think i know any of the monsters god dude go google the monsters and he and st ers it's spelled the worst way possible all of our boomer listeners are shaking their heads dog the monsters i gotta tell you is such a pass for me oh yeah absolutely this looks like a fucking nightmare well who's the girl that's like normal i don't know i couldn't tell you anything about the monsters brother is brother is like you dude i hate this what's the difference between lurch and this other fronk and steen and then lurch is a fronk and steen lurch is not a fronk and sheen where do we put fronk and steen is at a bonus point in what capacity if your first show has a fronk and sheen is a good or is it bad yeah i love it i think every show should have a fronk and sheen oh i love that see that's what i'm talking about we gotta unlock it baby okay what about fronk and weenies while we're on the fronk and train oh you're talking a fronk and weenie yeah i mean a family sick i was a movie uh i mean pet pet's as a pal is a good one yeah oh and then i do if a bonus points i love it when they're not real animals like dino gimme dino uh gimme uh gimme uh is the jetsons is astro like a robot dog i think he's a robot dog yeah astro easy jetson no i can show his we've never seen before i don't think he is astro jetson is doesn't seem to be a robot called a regular dog we're thinking of like chepy you want chepy i want chepy yeah chepy very not quite lit for pets i would say there's a couple of family sick homes with housekeepers we think i kind of don't like it very much oh butlers i do love the butler like that's lurch baby yeah okay well it seems like other and they're going into other family members oh and i believe the nanny had a butler how about the fact that she's a nanny but they also got a butler i might be wrong about that i'm pretty sure that i mean it makes sense to me like rich folks bro rich folks doing rich folks shit yeah i'll give you another i think true tell me this goes trope or kids i don't i don't care for the annoying younger brother i think that i'm done i think that i'm done with that trope yeah that's why i'm saying i like the smart the smart party well i think smart can be annoying oh my god smart guy it's another disney thing i don't know that one that's that's that's a family sick he's so smart he's in high school oh bro i would love to sound that smart all the time and they're not that smart yeah but he's supposed to be he's supposed to be like an elementary or middle school you see it's Taj Maori you ever watch smart guy or sister sister i no well i didn't really watch much of him either oh cool we don't have any very pretty good kids that's fine yeah kids are tough well if you have a i think i think if i mean if we have a brady bunch as very not quite lit and we have very quite litters two three then i would say like four to six or four to five is very pretty good we got five kids imagine i know i can't i literally can't can you imagine even having while right now close your eyes imagine having one child that you wilder are in charge at least 50 percent for taking care of in your thank you i already have one child responsible for taking care of and it is me yeah it's i it is i and i barely do a good job of that i'm going back up to parents i don't know that i love like stern dad which i guess is no i don't want either of the parents to be stern i want them to be fun all the time up to shenanigans stern parents okay yeah up to shenanigans but not the same shenanigans every damn day now i get it hey bro is a is a is a workplace sitcom also a family sitcom think about it okay i mean i understand what you're saying and i think it is the same concept well because i think sitcoms in general exist i think the the group of friends is different because there's no subordinate i see so like michael scott kind of the kind of the big dad and david wallis grandpa or what yeah david wallis the boring i was grandpa these people spend all the time all their time together in the same location i mean a little bit of that kind of is the same sort of show they serve they just serve different audiences a little bit i think oh i got a trope for you the episode devoted to a relative coming in from out of town oh yeah good one i'm so fucking sick of that oh it's my dad's intent like i didn't know he was gonna be here this over it dude that one uh boy there's one though that defies this and it also defies the serious episode and it's like i can't remember if he never actually shows or if he shows them leaves but there's an episode where like will smith dad is gonna come in fresh prince and you've probably seen like either the meme version of it or like screen grabbed but like there's this like thing where will smith like starts to cry and i think he said i don't know the exact line but i think he says like he's not mean why don't he want me or something like that and then like uklefiel gives him a huge hug and that one i'm almost about to cry thinking about it it demolishes me that one but most of the time yes that one sucks that thing of like yes uncle bobos coming in and we have to prepare our shoes because you know he loves to eat them yeah fucking uncle bobos sounds like a nightmare dude um so in tropes we talked about this a little bit but we didn't actually land on it holiday episodes it's medium right i kind of like them interesting yeah you know it's so very relatable it is it really is okay i'm i'm kind of like i can't really think of any that like i don't like i'm thinking about the only the only thing that i that i take exception with is like i said with with uh modern family it's like okay give me thanksgiving for sure give me maybe like a labor day vacation birthdays are not holidays i but they treat them as such birthday not a holiday episode i don't care about birthday episode for the same reason i don't care about your fucking birthday which is i don't care about your fucking birthday right it's true we don't we don't care about it at all what do you think where do you put um like a celebrity guest i love it i gotta tell you i love it yeah i do love it i do do we think that's other can we do all my exams are or if not family sitcoms especially if they're playing themselves that's fine we're crushing the box i mean like playing themselves i actually i don't care for i don't need that oh i love it what do you give me an example of that at all uh what's tief guttenberg's on party down okay yeah that's true that's a good one it's a little tough because that one that was extra as whole shit is every episode there was a celebrity guest and they play themselves like an asshole right right right right right i think most episodes of sitcoms today have some sort of guest role though right you're talking about like major celeb guests yeah i mean no one glassing thomas lennens in this episode as a yoga instructor or whatever tom is lennen to me is wow the perfect you pulled the exact perfect example of like well i just i think he's a guest on every sitcom yeah where he like pasa like ah tom is like ah awesome when i when i wrote a fucking new girl spec script back when i was doing that shit i literally wrote a guest role with him in mind yeah no that's great that's a good one oh man so we we mentioned that shitscreeks is a family sitcom and haven't talked about it all basically yeah you want to talk about antagonists how about fucking nasty nasty mega oh smelly it smelly it smelly it how about if you're antagonist let me let me tell you how good shitscreeks shitscreeks so good that it made me enjoy the presence of smelly it yeah otherwise is such a tossed for me yeah we're obviously smelly it i know you're listening and i respect your rise to stardom in entertainment industry but you're not funny to me and only thing i can think of when i even hear hear his name or see his face is his little hand from scary movie to i know it's got you have to you have to think about it that's the curse he put on all of us god damn smelly it but i do think that that makes him a good antagonist the fact that he literally haunts you and the fact that he has so smelly it is a great antagonist yeah what about what about this uh miranda on lizzie mcguizie straight up disappears what you mean she just not on the show for like a long time of course the end did they explain that or no yeah but it's because i think it's because lalaine got addicted to meth oh yike bro yeah and she not in the in the lizzie mcguizie movie which is like i guess the finale so they just say she's in mexico city in like the first scene and then she just not isn't it just think about the fact that however little you know about the lizzie mcguizie movie wouldn't you expect her randa to be in that movie well i don't know who Miranda is so she's like lizzie's best friend oh well then i guess yes then i suppose based on that description yes i think something that sets apart um shits creek and arrest development is that it is first of all they're not really uh the plot carries over from episode to episode and i like that there is a driving purpose to the characters it sounds dumb because i'm like character motivation but everyone has character motivation but my point is that like the family in shits creek wants to fucking leave shits creek the family in arrest development would like very much like to be rich again and also like clear their names of all the very bad things they've done that to me is so key in setting those two apart because otherwise it's just like that's why you get a show like fresh off the boat or modern family where it's like boy sure seems like we did this one a hundred times already i got a very quite lit crow for you arrested development a shining example callbacks oh yeah for sure love it a little goodies for us the fans and it's you know what i like about a callback it makes me feel like i'm respected i just feel like they get that they're they're trusting me enough to remember something that happened 40 seconds ago or 10 minutes ago or even four episodes ago i'm talking about yeah i was about to like the yeah i thought the whole series right right and that's great but even a callback is something i got one and i think you might hate it but i unfortunately love it for tropes baby i love a catchphrase oh my god all right what you don't like a catchphrase give me an example okay we're like i made a huge mistake or jobe's catchphrase would be come on oh sure i just don't know if it's a catchphrase yeah if one if one character says something all the time that's a catchphrase i guess yeah that's like what that is so okay so here's my problem with catchphrase is that i feel like the only ones that come to mind for me are full house what's what's full house catchphrase i can't remember the stupid i can remember all the goddamn characters name except the the family member that's not bob saggot and it's not uncle jesse no it's not uncle jesse it's forgotten all about jesse it's the it's the dork that's not hot sexy uncle jesse or ago bob saggot i've never seen even one second to full house oh his thing is he says cut it out and he does he does like a hand emotion with it and he does i don't need a hand i don't know anybody any emotion he does like the scissor and motion is gross and then points for it and there's like thumb for out it sucks i'm putting i'm redacting a catchphrase going to it too yeah i mean that's fine i could see how they could be misused i do i enjoy them i can't i cannot deny it but you also like a fucking happy day's theme song so what is what do we call moira i mean what do we call her what's a parent what do you describe her because i'd like to put her in a three as quickly as possible what type of what she mom what do you i don't understand she's a mom but we have like uh we have like uh we have like oscar proud is like you like him for certain reasons i assume i mean should we just put moira yeah she's the best part of that show yeah i can't think of a better tv mom yeah it's not it's i mean tweet at us if you got some better tv moms yeah i can't i can't i mean if you are i mean maybe lusio bluth in terms of how funny she is because she's grandma i'm talking about main mom well she's grandma's allowed right but she's the only mom on that show well lindsey's a mom oh my god i forgot entirely about lindsey yeah you're right oh bro wait yes is artybias and lindsey undoing our no dipshits with i guess she's also a dipshit though oh yeah like an idiot with a yeah it's tough she's also an idiot though yeah but definitely the hotness factor is huge there two idiots to me is very quite lit it's perfect yeah it's perfect yeah that's like the whole that's all of i mean that's what arrest development is is like what if we made a show and everyone was the idiot yeah i do have so you use you use the office as an example of workplace that's actually like a family but i have a better workplace to calm that i think is a family to calm and it's always sunny three of them are related oh yeah i think that's a fluctuation weights too right turns out to not be their dad and then he's charlie's dad right i don't know where that timeline is at currently but i think that might be a family sick i mean it's oh i will absolutely allow it yeah oh bro you want to talk about pals then oh oh yeah cricket is a nightmare because a nightmare how about other family members gale the snail yeah she's a family to them though she's somebody she's the mick oil okay we cannot just list a bunch of it's always i know i know i know but but but and it really that that particular show bends the whole genre in half then how about this for kids for very quite lit can we put psychopath yeah because where that shows at at the moment Dennis is the best part yeah i like that so pal makas and pal is like a pal that they don't even really like huh i mean if we're just gonna do a bunch of sunny stuff for very not quite lit why don't you prepare it won't you pop in boiling jeans under the break yeah i think this is gonna have to do it for us i think this is good i think we have a good sitcom here uh chris eliot and count oloff and beans are all fuck me thanks for tuning in i'm gonna do
