Never thought this show was funny


Some of the skits were downright corny. There were a few good lines here and there but overall the show wasn't great. The only reason why I can think some people like this show is because this show was a little different(in regards to comedy skits, their format etc) than what was out, at the time.

I take it you were born some time after 88?

reply

nope, I was born in 85'.

That means when the show debuted you were either 4 or 5. The show was ground breaking in the sense that it poked at social issues present at the time. I think if you would have been older to truly understand the show at the time, you may have found that the show was actually quiet funny.

I was born in '88 and DO find the the show funny. My favorite skecth is "Real Men". I love the fly girls.

Season 4 was HORRIBLE, season 5 got a little better, but it was too late by then. But like was already said, it was groundbreaking and entertaining as hell. Looked forward to it every Sunday night when it started.

So in other words, you were 4 or 5 when the show started and 8 or 9 when it ended.

reply

Well I was born in 80 and never really found it all that funny.

I always thought the show was pretty ballsy and ahead of its time. It's still on syndication now and I still find it hilarious.
