Full House
Due to my sudden fixation on TGIF I've been reading this blog, and decided we needed a thread for this show.
Even just watching clips of it tells you what a weird, creepy simulacrum of a sitcom this show is. It does Family Circus-type humor FAR less effectively or endearingly (yes, I am actually defending that comic because Bil Keane was a pretty boss artist, it's one of those dinosaur strips whose art hasn't deteriorated, and I think its cutesy brand of humor has a place in the world), and the production values are chintzy. One wonders why Lorimar-Telepictures cheaped out on this show when their other sitcom Perfect Strangers seems to have decent production values.
Howdy, Stranger!

Sums up how I think about the show, that WDW episode in particular is trash
...that's about the only positive thing I can say about the show.

Apparently he's also really nice to up and coming comedians and backstage people, or so I have heard. Which is unsurprising. Nice people with truly alarming ideas of what is funny are not in short supply.
High Tier: Uncle Jesse's Wife Rebecca, Comet the dog,
True, true.
It's worth a read, although as far as the artist's early work goes, smokes. is probably better, although rather than funny that one... ends on a really depressing note, so maybe when you're prepared for it.

He insulted Bullwinkle
I don't know if Billy Superstar noticed, but when WB bought Lorimar, the references to Looney Tunes and Batman and such went way up.
Yup, Cate Wurtz/Partydog. I think it's their second earliest project still available on the Internet, and the better part of ffff might not even be up anymore so it may just be the oldest.
(idk what Jesse actually sounds like but a character in a live action show who talked like Bullwinkle would be pretty weird i think)

I've read some interesting analysis of it as a kind of extended metaphor for coming into one's own sexually as a queer person, and that definitely holds water, but the presentation is not everyone's cup of tea. Her later stuff is way more accessible in some respects, despite being just as weird, maybe because the storytelling is less, well, pornographic in structure.
The main character's design is really pretty cute, though.
I forgot that lyric.
Still, probably not a specific slight against Bullwinkle, i would think, so much as the impressions being irritating.
