Tremendous Physical Comedy / Endearing Characters

I am pretty surprised that the two lead actors didn't get more work after this show. I consider their physical comedy and timing to be far superior to someone like Jerry Lewis or Kramer from Seinfeld. The writing was decent and my God, Balki was heart breakingly sweet, You couldn't NOT like that character. Larry had redeeming value because of his kind heart as well.

Physical comedy is a big hit with children, this was my favorite show when I was small and re-watching it now is just as good only I have more respect for the quality of storytelling and their line delivery was excellent.

Oh, thanks for mentioning! I never watched that show, I was more of a 'boy meets world' guy lol I don't know what it was about that show, I remember not liking it but I don't remember why.

BOY MEETS WORLD IS AWESOME...RECENTLY WATCHED THROUGH THE SERIES AGAIN...BUT WITH MY DAUGHTER...MR FEENY IS LIFE.

I loved the show as a child and as an adult it's still enjoyable. I'm not sure if I love these shows because of the nostalgia or if they were just that good of quality. Mr. Feeny was a much needed source of knowledge and advice, I hope kids get to have a similar character today. Heck! I don't know what show is even popular with kids today.

Tik Tok

People like to put down Tik Tok and I do too as far as the company, I don't want to support China. I do think it's a great source of creativity though. The variety of trending clips is HUGE though, makes it hard to have as many specific trends.

IT IS ON THE SHELF...IT COULDN'T BE TOO FAR OFF.

That sounds like great family bonding time :) I'm just a fun uncle. No kids, but I do like to stay up on what they enjoy, I bought my niece tickets to One Direction when they were popular but it's interesting that their hasn't been any one show or thing that's gotten nearly the attention that TGIF had when I was a kid. No big boy bands for my younger nieces recently either.

The world it is a'changin' lol
