7/23/04- Lately, I have been into TV.

A lot. I watch TV roughly 36 hours a day. Or less. Here are the best* new* sitcoms* of the season that you must* see:

*DISCLAIMER: Not actually. (Disclaimer does not apply to Cheers.)

Who's The Boss?

I'm not going to lie. I almost never watched Who's The Boss back in my day. Sometimes it is on TV late at night, I believe on Nick at Nite. That crazy Nick...What will he come up with next? But this page isn't about Nick. It's about a man named Tony (Tony Danza, the guy who played Mel Clark in Angels In The Outfield) who spent eight years as a housekeeper for some lady named Angela. Is it just a coincidence? I mean, Tony Danza was in Angels in the Outfield, and was a housekeeper for Angela? I think not. There is a deeper connection there. What that is, I am not sure. "Only time will tell." (-Ranch Wilder, of Angels in the Outfield fame). My personal favorite episode is the one where Jonathan breaks his shoulder. Jonathan is my least favorite character.


Full House

For a second time, I'm not going to lie. I used to watch Full House pretty hardcore. I kind of left that all behind when I got to about fifth grade, and I was too grown up to watch a show like Full House. About three years later when I got to sixth grade, I realized I had no friends. I had left all my real friends behind three years earlier. Those friends's's's names were Jesse Katsopolis, Joey Gladstone, and Danny Tanner. Not only was Danny Tanner a great pal, but he was the best TV dad ever as well. He raised three daughters as a single father and had a sweet job as the co-host of his own talk show. He also had time to entertain America on a weekly basis, meanwhile changing his name to "Bob" "Saget" to host America's Funniest Home Videos. What a great man. He loved his family. He loved America. My personal favorite episode is the one where Danny Tanner took out the army of robots all by himself, while sacrificing his left leg to save San Fransisco.


Three's Company

Before last week, I think I had seen Three's Company about two times. It is now today, and I have still only seen this show two times. There are probably two things I know about this show: the blonde girl ("Carol" of Step By Step fame) and John Ritter (of Three's Company fame). What else can I say about this show? One time on Full House, Jesse's twins kept telling him to sing the theme song from Three's Company. This of course made the studio audience laugh hysterically. I think it would have been funnier if they had asked him to sing the theme song from Full House and he would have been like, "What?" My favorite episode of Three's Company is the one with John Ritter that I saw when I was on vacation when I was nine.


Cheers

Cheers is a legitimately great TV show. Not like Who's The Boss?, where I am still trying to figure out who the boss really is. Is it Tony? Is it Angela? Mona?? Jonathan?! It better not be Jonathan. He is far and away my least favorite character. Cheers, on the other hand, doesn't make me ponder a question while I am watching it. It's a simple show about a bar in Boston. Filmed before a live studio audience, Cheers features the antics of a former-alcoholic-baseball-player-turned-bar-owner (or a FABPTBO, if you're into acronyms) named Sam Malone and his friends that practically live at the bar. My favorite episode of Cheers is hard to pick. I enjoy so many episodes of this show, I can't pick just one, so I've decided to make one up. It's the one where they are watching Who's The Boss? and Norm decides he hates that show so he breaks the TV in a drunken rage.
