oh god, PS by a mile...

easily my favorite show growing up. there\'s just no touching the duo that was larry & balki..

though there is a little bit of a generation gap on this one - PS ran from 1986-1993, while FM ran 1989-1998..



What was the original TGIF lineup?

Full House, Perfect Strangers, Just The Ten of Us, ???


(keep in mind that Family Matters, Step By Step, Boy Meets World came Later)

Mark, I just had the strangest dream...

not to mention, where the hell is MARRIED WITH CHILDREN????????????

don\'t get me wrong, I love PS, but it can\'t hold a light to MWC. Between the two listed though, I agree with Chris and Dave - FM was good when it started but got really stupid really fast, and PS is the better of the two, hands down.

Married w/ children all the way.  The Bundies ruled my face for as far back as i can remember.

Since we\'re on Midwestern shows, whats up w/ Step by Step?  Where did that take place, Minnesota or some shit?

I so had a hard on for one of the chicks in that show.  not the smart one, not the dumb one, but the other one, yeah thats the ticket.  the sporty badass chick.

Step By Step was set in Wisconsin.

I wanted to do some stuff with that chick back then too.

Wisconsin, go figure......  Wasn\'t Laverne and Shirley in Wisconsin as well?  This calls for another poll.

did this show take place in chicago? i have only seen it a couple times because i dont find it entertaining.

Roseanne took place in lanford, IL. I dont know if its a real town, but its in IL. Thats one of the few shows i dont mind watching. mainly because everything on tv sucks and this show is on all the time on several channels.

I\'m all about the National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood.  Married w/ Children was in Chicago.  Peg was from Wanker County.
