I wish that VH1 would bring back Bret Michael's Rock of Love. That was reality TV at its finest.

Young Jaleel White knocked Alf's socks off as Steve Urkel in the years 1989-1993.


He played the quirky nerd to a T.

Eh..... That better described 2005 than 2015. I honestly think in the past couple years reality tv has been nowhere NEAR as popular as it once was.


You remember when Family sitcoms were popular?

You remember when Family sitcoms were popular?


I was REAL little when family sitcoms (Roseanne,Married with Children,Step by Step,Home Improvement,etc.)were still popular. For me as a child it was gritty comedy's like Seinfeld,Friends, Spin City,Dharma and Greg,Frasier,Will&Grace, Everybody Loves Raymond, Malcolm in the Middle,That 70s Show, etc.dominated. As an older kid Two and a Half Men, How I met your Mother, 30 Rock, The office,Scrubs,Arrested Development,were the big shows. For majority of my teen years the biggest sitcoms  I recall were Modern Family, The middle,Big Bang Theory,How I met your mother etc. All of the other comedy shows during those years weren't really sitcom like and mainly pure out comedy.

I'm older than you, I grew up with shows like Silver Spoons, Family Ties and Different Strokes.

Married with Children was a satire of a family sitcom.

Green Acres, Petticoat Junction, and The Beverly Hillbillies were good wholesome sitcom fun.  :)

Lots of laughs without the filth that you see these days.

Ahh yes, you're about 20/21 years older than I am. I saw reruns of DS and Family Ties in the mid 2000s.

I don't. The women were trashy and the "prize" wasn't much of a prize.  ::) I suppose it was a step or two better than the Flava Flav version.  8-P

I used to watch Roseanne and Married With Children all the time! Step By Step was part of the TGIF lineup with Family Matters. I still remember Fraiser reruns in the early 2000s. Raymond still comes on, this past summer it did. Two and A Half Men got lame and they should have cancelled it long ago instead of introducing new characters. I remember The Office, it originated in the UK first. Now Raine Wilson is on a crime show. Modern Family is more of a this decade show, and so is Big Bang, The Middle, and Two Broke Girls. It's reality shows that need to go! There are things people I work with are telling me about like American Horror Story and something called The Strand, so horror shows must be gaining some popularity? I haven't seen either yet and don't know when they're on.

AHs and The Strand are on F/X.

Yes. I grew up watching some of them in the 80s and early 90s.

Those were good family sitcoms.

and you can watch a few family sitcoms from the 80's on YouTube and Dailymotion nowadays.
