    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Earl often sighs as he walks across a room. This allowed the person inside the costume a chance to see where he was going. He could only see through the open mouth.
    • Quotes

      [repeated line]

      Baby: I'm the baby; gotta love me!

    • Crazy credits
      The Jim Henson Productions logo at the end of the credits features a pterodactyl that does something different from episode to episode (from a small assortment of 3 things, not something unique each time).
    • Alternate versions
      Original airings of season one featured a laugh track, which was deleted from all network repeats, syndicated re-runs, and home video releases.
    • Connections
      Featured in ABC TGIF: Episode #4.11 (1992)

    Generally excellent
    This show ran the gamut from really bad to really amazing. I for one never was a fan of the obnoxious baby (no, I don't gotta love you), but the rest of the characters were very well-done. Several episodes were hilariously spot-on.

    Fran & Earl getting their marriage license renewed ("Earl, let's go upstairs and pretend it's Thursday" is a line I *still* quote to this day).

    Robbie "coming out"...as a vegetarian. ("I can't be an herbivore! My dad's a carnivore, my mom's a carnivore..." "Well, it's not necessarily hereditary.").

    Robbie's howling (featuring Robbie buying the "So You Want to Learn to Howl" 8-track).

    The two-episode "Nuts to War" ("What happened to your eye?" "A pointed stick with my name on it." "Gee, what are the odds?").

    And although the finale was extremely heavy-handed and depressing, I give them credit for doing a completely unexpected and serious one instead of the traditional "and they all lived happily ever after".

    Best self-referential joke: Real watching sock puppets on TV. "Hey, Fran, you gotta see this. Sure, they're puppets, but they're really funny." To which Fran says, "Forget it - I'm not watching puppets." Probably the reason the show didn't make it.
