Neither one of those sounds remotely interesting.

Wouldn't Balki and Cousin Larry be in their 60s by now ? The whole point of Cousin Larry's shtick was that he was this neurotic wide-eyed spaz while Balki provided his accented limited-English one-liners in that lovable, naive way of his. If Larry is still acting like that 30 years later....I'd say it's more sad than funny.....and if Balki hasn't mostly mastered the language and is still bringing up Mypos after 3 decades, while struggling to adapt to American ways, then we can safely say that he's (a) not bright or (b) severely living in the past.

Compare that to Roseanne and Dan...........who can still more or less act the way they did in the 90s, just older and more grounded versions (Dan with the sleep apnea mask......along with all the medications he and Roseanne are taking).

And Family Matters......wow, when that show went downhill...it went DOWNHILL. Urkel transforming himself into various people? No wonder ABC didn't want that show after a while......and even CBS was like "ehhh, maybe not" after just 1 season.

“Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.”
 
Apparently it got really good ratings for the first 2 shows that aired Tuesday. I'm curious to see if that's something that will last or if it's just that people just wanted to check out the first episode to see how it aged.

Oh, and Roseanne got a congratulations call from Trump. Isn't that special. :pointe:

Washington (CNN)After posting gangbuster ratings for the reboot of her late 20th-century sitcom, Roseanne Barr received a call from President Donald Trump on Wednesday.

The White House declined to provide any additional details about the call, which occurred on a day when the President had no public events.
A vocal Trump supporter, Barr's revived "Roseanne" has been viewed as the latest chapter in the culture wars. It premiered Tuesday on ABC to a whopping 18.2 million viewers.

"Barr's revived "Roseanne" has been viewed as the latest chapter in the culture wars."

good god, we are worse off than i thought
 
I saw her act "live" (watched it on tv) and it was horrible. I tried to watch the show and couldn't get into it either.

A reboot of Perfect Strangers or Family Matters would be interesting as well.

I think Jaleel White would rather have his balls chopped off and fed to him before he plays Steve Urkel again.
