You know a television show is on its last legs when it adds a cute child actor in a last ditch attempt at ratings. It happened to "The Brady Bunch." It happened to "All in the Family." It happened to "Different Strokes," "The Cosby Show" and "Family Ties."

At first I was wondering what this has to do with political discussion. That is a funny analysis .

Yup, I agree on the Ted thing! Adding a child actor is another jump the shark tactic just like when a couple finally has sex after a few years of playing coy with each other or a death.

Married...With Children Ted McGinley curses tv shows.
Personally, I thought "Married with Children" got better towards the end when Ted McGinley joined the show. But hey, that's just me....

I see what you are saying. In ways, it did. However, there wasn't much tension between his character "Jefferson" and "Marcy" b/c he did what he wanted to do anyway, like go to the nudie bar. Whereas, "Steve" had to always sneek around to prove his manhood to "Al" and the others.
