I am sitting on the couch watching an episode of "Perfect Strangers" and thoroughly enjoying myself. :-) I used to watch this show with my grandmother, but hadn't really thought about it in years. Someone that I work with mentioned that they had the first 2 seasons on DVD. So, she let me borrow them and we have had so much fun watching it! I really miss when sitcoms were funny, and clean enough for the kids to watch. Now days everything is a sex joke, or an innuendo for one. Granted, kids don't really understand everything they hear, but at the same time you never really know what they understand. Kids are odd like that. Sometimes they remember things so obscure its almost creepy! Anyway, I was thinking about the show and how odd it would be to live with someone that you don't know. Even if they are related. Then I kind of chuckled because if you have kids you have done this! A baby is a perfect little stranger. A stranger who comes from a strange place, has its own language, and doesn't understand anything about how things are "supposed" to be. They have to learn how to acclimate to our environment. It must be really hard to be a newborn! There is a reason we don't remember that far back...
If you ever get the chance to buy or rent this show, it is worth it. :-)

Great analogy Heather. I also miss the sitcoms we had growing up. There aren't really any good ones out now. You will be surprised how many cartoons also have innuendoes, even the old Looney Toons ones. Watch them as an adult and you will be saying, I didn't know THAT was what they meant.
remember when watching TGIF on Fridays was the thing to do? They had Step-by-Step and Family Matters, Boy Meets World, and a few others. I loved those shows!
