I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
There are people who will tell you that the birth of Pebbles fucked up The Flintstones. I haven't watched enough of the show (at least not recently) to truly vouch for that but at least they used that as a pivot to deal with Barney being infertile and the emotional toll that took on the Rubbles (even if Betty did literally wish on a star for a child).
The motherfucking Flintstones was more emotionally mature than this show

Also, even if he was a douche, The Great Gazoo is more fun, at least as an idea, than any of the shit they piled onto Full House. Also Family Matters's dissolution into The Urkel Show.
"I don’t know, you guys. I usually try to just stick to the reviews but I gotta tell you that this shit is really killing me. This is the most difficulty I’ve ever had with just sitting and watching the show. It’s been so bad for so long, but somehow it just keeps getting worse. It is physically hurting me to write these Full House reviews."
"Meanwhile, back at the full house, Kimmie Gibbler is a shitty ass babysitter. She just sits and chats on the phone with her grandmother while the twins rub paint all over the refrigerator."
This reminds me of the TV specials Disney used to release every time they did something major to one of the parks, except they apparently paid Lorimar to produce it for them this time around. :O

Lorimar...by this time, a division of Warner Bros., who was not yet in their taking-those-fuckers-at-Disney-down mode they were in after they got their hands on the Turner/H-B properties
Know your lines? Of course you know your lines! But I don't want to just hear your lines...I wanna hear what's in YOUR SOULS!!
The author doesn’t seem to care about accuracy since he didn't really know much about Disney while reviewing the Disney episode (not that it matters since that episode is so rancid)
"Anyway, they decide to form a Mighty Mutant Super Kids club and for some reason it’s really imperative that its existence is kept secret. They decide that they’d better pick a leader and reach the conclusion that whoever can procure a Mighty Mutant Super Fortress will earn that rank because 90’s kids entertainment was always just about selling you expensive toys."
Except for the actually good stuff, which people never seem to talk about much
Comments
most people don't uniformly hate old stuff
what exactly do you mean by time capsule?
the episode aired in 1994, right?
a couple years after the height of R&S's popularity, i think?
so it's not a time capsule, it's out of step with the time
otherwise the criticism "dated" is just silly
Despite Nick slipping us those awful Games episodes
then i don't think the 'dated' criticism makes any sense, it's just stupid
