What do you think is the sappiest show (not including children's shows)?

I have to say...

Definitely Full House.  Too much hugging.

Dude, YES! It's like..

*Cue sappy music* It's okay, Stephanie...I know you didn't mean to drive the car through the kitchen wall, I know it was just an accident..." *hug*

Chyeah. Riiiight.  ::)

I would have to say, hands down, 7th Heaven.....I can't even explain it...but the actors/actresses, the story lines, just EVERYTHING is SO Cheesy!! ::)

Ooh, you're right, that is a cheesy show.  It's close, but I think Full House is sappier.  ;)

It's gotta be The Littlest Hobo.  A dog who wanders from town to town helps save people in distress, then once his work is done, he moves on to a new town.  It was a very cheesy and sappy show, but as a kid, I watched it all the time :)

Are you sure that isn't a children's show?  Remember that children's shows don't count, because chances are, a kid's show is going to be sappy.

If Stephanie had my parents, she would have had her ass thrown out of the house, but not before it was severely spanked.

oh how about the episode where she *accidently* cut off Uncle Jesse's mullet.......ooops, sorry Uncle Jesse :-[......"that's ok Steph, my mullet will grow back again"....LOL!

Nah, it wasn't a kids show.  It was a Family Show.  Kids probably watched it, but it wasn't aimed towards kids

I liked the show when I was ten, but now it just makes me sick.  I want to beat the crap out of those touchy feely dads for hugging when the real solution would be mucho spanking (for the younger aged kids anyway) and other punishment.

*said in over-exaggerated hick twain* In mah family, she would have had her hide beat with switches 'till she was unrecognizable to the outside world! *spits chew into can*

London is an extremely intelligent, wandering German shepherd who walks into a different place in each episode of this long-running television series, and comes upon people down on their luck or in trouble. London always befriends and helps the struggling person or persons. Then, when his job is done at episode's end, London declines to be the pet of the people he has helped and departs to continue his cross-country drifting.


Ugh.

Ah reckon.

Well, I'd have to agree with everyone who said Full House---BUT---I've gotta (somewhat in shame!) admit I've always been a big fan of the show. Probably more now than when it was actually on the air - I tape the double episodes per day in syndication.

I think part of the appeal is it's unrealistic-ness. Especially the hugging whenever anyone leaves a room, and everything working out in a tightly constructed 22 minute episode.

The concensus seems to usually be that Michelle was the overspoiled and bratty one, but they probably all were at some point. I could never see Danny giving them a spanking though, LOL!

Then again, Back to the Future is unrealistic too, and there's no need to say what I think of that. ;)

Brady Bunch.

7th Heaven is the most sappiest show ever....  ::)

LOL  I have always thought that.  A friend of mine and I used to get together just to watch and bag on that show. ;D

OMG  what show its that?  I used to watch it when I was young? :o

I've never seen it, but it is called "The Littlest Hobo".  Whistle brought it up earlier and I brought up a search result for it.

Brady Bunch.


Yep, this one too.  They always had to go into the den to get lectured by Ole Mike and be taught a lesson. ::)

Yes, so very...realistic.

It seems that shows get more cynical and less sappy as time progresses.  Step By Step was like the 90's version of Brady's Bunch.  It was cheesy by today's standards, but not nearly as much as Brady Bunch.

Everything on the WB or Lifetime.

A sappy BUMP!

I was gonna say that....

The cheesy talk at the end of every episode! You'd think that they'd run out of life long lessons...

Hey, what about Leave It To Beaver?  Actuallly, that was more cheesy than sappy.  Beaver would always get himself into trouble and end up getting a lecture from Ward while June did all the chores and worried about Beaver.  Then there was Wally who would try to cover up for him, sometimes vice versa.  They always said things like "Golly gee, Beav."  ::)

Back in the 1950's, that show was the way of the world.  Ah simpler times  :)

I'm not so sure...  I think people were just more easily entertained.  ;)

Ever notice how shows are getting more realistic and less cheesy?

A sappy denial for Beth!  8)

Golly gee, Beth can't post!

Don't worry Beth, Uncle Jesse is always available for hugs.

Sneaky!

I remember one episode where Beaver was wearing a leather jacket, and Ward and June were all worried that he was turning into a rebel. At the end, Ward talked to him, and Beaver no longer wore the jacket, and he left his rebelious ways behind him. *sappy grin*

Gee whiz, YWN.... >:(

Nope

I think not

Conformist alert!  You'd never see that in modern television.  Culture has changed a lot.

And I thought I was blocking you, but then I saw that you were logged out.  What was going on?   ???

I should have known.  Well, I guess I deserve it.  By the way, I blocked Patti today.

We need to introduce "Dammit" to all the Playful Penguin Board!  Maybe even in other sections, like Board Games!  :o

Hey, Beth....


DENIED!

Uh oh....

Don't worry Beth, Uncle Jesse is always available for hugs.

Remember the video he did on Full House .. "Forever" by Jessie and the Rippers?  I wonder if that was ever really released as a real single?  It would have done well with what was in the charts at the time

*I read somewhere that the Beach Boys were the ones who this song was actually by*


*Remember that "uncle jesse--john stamos" played drums for the Beach Boys on their Kokomo song.

Oy, I hated that song.



Beth

They should make a CD with all these TV songs on it ...

Forever - Jessie and the Rippers
Everybody Wants Something - The Zits
The Winslow Rap - The Winslows   ;D
