[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 120180, member: 27"] [I] Saved by the Bell[/I] was produced to be aired on Saturday mornings in the period when networks were turning away from having cartoons air at that time. [I]Full House,[/I] meanwhile, was produced to air in the so-called "Family Hour" of primetime (8pm), when the networks aired the most innocuous and least-objectionable programming they could muster. The family hour slowly disappeared in the 1990s as more racy content was being aired on cable and the (then-) fledgling Fox Network. And yes, I also found both to be [I]dreadful [/I]and avoided them like the plague. Among my favorites were [I]Married with Children [/I](which actually straddled the 1980s and 1990s); [I]Murphy Brown[/I] (another "straddler"); [I]Designing Women; Night Court; The Golden Girls[/I]; [I]Benson; Mama's Family; [/I]and[I] [/I]mostly-forgotten shows like[I] Mr. Belvedere [/I]and [I]Gimme a Break! [/I](I would especially love to see this one again)[I]. [/I] I was rather[I] [/I]neutral on[I] Family Ties[/I] but there is one episode I would love to see again, where Constance McCashin was a guest star in an episode where she played the grieving mother of a recently-deceased friend of Mallory's.
