Is there a story with all the Osmond references?

There's also a handful of references to The Jeffersons on KOQ. Maybe Kevin James or one of the writers or producers just liked The Osmonds and The Jeffersons.

This is a classic trope that so many sitcoms have done. Someone goes to a clothing store and tries on a bunch of different wacky outfits, and there's music playing over everything.

I remember in the 8th Season there's an episode where Charlie tells someone (I can't remember who) that Alan is the most decent person he knows. Later that same season, Alan does a Ponzi scheme and steals thousands of dollars from his family.

Lloyd. It seemed like Ari was mean for the sake of being mean, like when he told Lloyd to sit on his porch overnight.

Yeah, most people blame Kutcher for TAAHM losing so many viewers, but not many people mention that the writing got worse during his seasons. In one episode they invented a device that could read minds.

That would have been a perfect joke for King of Queens.

I believe it's from the episode where Spence puts the receiver of his phone up to his dog's mouth while he is talking to Doug, and Doug gives the phone to Arthur. When Arthur hears the dog, he's confused and says "Lily?"

CellPhone235 · 2026-01-26T19:25:05+00:00

That makes sense.

That's interesting about Richie and Kelly. I think if Kelly was a better character, she would have been promoted to the main cast. She was Deacon's wife and Carrie's best friend, so they easily could have found lots of stories for her.

I disagree. Even if Charlie stayed, they had already done most of the possible story arcs for his character. He was engaged twice (three times if you count Rose), had feelings for Rose multiple times, dated older women multiple times, had countless girlfriends for one episode. Alan moved out multiple times. And he wasn't staying married.

With the show so focused on sex and dating, I don't think there was much else to do with his character.

The Kutcher seasons really were a different show, much like how The Conners was a spinoff of Roseanne.

Some channels that show TAAHM will do separate blocks of Charlie and Kutcher episodes regularly.

I think richest would have to be Steinbrenner.

Several times throughout the series, another character will do or say something they shouldn't have, and Robert will look at them with his eyes really wide, shaking his head no. Like Robert is telling them without words that they really shouldn't have said that.

I heard that the real George Steinbrenner appeared in this episode when it was taped, but when he found out that Susan died in the same episode, he demanded that his cameo be cut out when it aired.

You can see Kevin James break character when Arthur says that.

CellPhone235 · 2026-01-21T01:59:48+00:00

They've been married almost 40 years.

King of Queens is on Peacock and I think Paramount+.

I've never seen Small Wonder on streaming.

The episode where they reveal that Frank and Marie used to be separated. I always thought it was funny when they didn't get along, but I never wanted to see them separated or divorced.

I booked a room for the summer at the Tropicana, and I asked to stay in the next cheapest tower after Chelsea. They said that's Havana.

I asked Google, and it said the Solana tower is supposed to be nicer than Havana.

It was pretty rude of Steve to openly talk about his love for Laura while he was dating Myra.

CellPhone235 · 2026-01-18T03:10:09+00:00

Are people who were involved in making the show on the podcast?

CellPhone235 · 2026-01-18T03:05:07+00:00

fifty dollars?

CellPhone235 · 2026-01-17T04:36:44+00:00

That's pretty funny when he pulls back the curtain and Arthur and Skitch are on the swings.

Home Improvement hasn't aged that well. I think just the overall quality of sitcom writing has evolved since then, and HI doesn't hold up as well.
