    • Trivia
      David Faustino: In the episode "Musso and Frank", claiming that Frank had given him detention even though he went to a different school, Polk High. This is the high school his character Bud attends in Married... with Children (1987). There is a debate of whether this is actually supposed to actually be Bud or Faustino playing himself.

    Mental Note: A great show
    Somebody happened to say "coolness" to me yesterday who was wearing this obnoxious shirt, and it made me instantly remember this show. I religiously watched this show in college. The first season is nothing short of pure genius. Absolutely helarious with irreverant characters, whacky plots, and some camera work that rivals the Cohen brothers in Raising Arizona.

    Every now and then you can catch somebody on Ebay selling off the entire show on VHS. If you get a chance to see an episode, don't miss it. Its genuinely funny stuff.

    However, beware the 3rd season. The show's popularity seemed to cause it troubles with the Studio Execs so they retooled the show in the 3rd season and killed off a lot of its charm. Most of the 3rd season episodes are booooooring standard sit-com fair.
