Who Speaks Ill Of Small Wonder?
I'm a little late to this, but TV Crunch made a list of the 25 Worst Sitcoms Ever, and Small Wonder is #1!? No. Small Wonder, while not a good show, has the distinction for a large demographic of people (say age 27 - 35) of being the first old TV show they looked up on excite or hotwire or whatever when they first got the internet. In fact, for a large part of the early '90s I thought Small Wonder was a recurring dream I had as a kid. Small Wonder is an icon among sitcoms. And where the fuck is Two And A Half Men on a list that includes Cavemen just because it was based on Geico commercials? Cavemen, while weird and illogical, was a million times better than Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer's disgusting festival of cliches. Just ask Vulture. (Via Die Actor Die, who jokingly suggests M.A.S.H as a worst sitcom candidate.)
And say what you will about Family Matters, but no sitcom has a funnier Wikipedia page. Did you know FM was really a science fiction show? Let's just stop for a moment and clear our heads by learning how to Do The Urkel:
That clip is great.

When given the task of writing Family Matters' requisite entry into the canon of 80s-90s "Don't drink or do drugs, kids" episode, they came up with this: GOLD. Don't drink or do drugs, kids, because you might end up starting an impromptu synchronized attempt at the umpteenth failed dance craze.
