I don't think Monk's new helper is that bad.

Ted McGinley's character in every show he's been on?

Scrappy Doo and Oliver were horrendous.

Chachi wasn't as bad as Leather/Pinky Tuscadero, IMO.

Gizmo in the Flintstones.

No, Ted was great in Married With Children.

But he did suck in just about everything else from Happy Days to the Love Boat.

And when they changed the oldest daughter on Rosanne. WTF?

No, way! The replacement Becky was Sarah Chalke-- who has become the super hot doctor on Scrubs.

Yes, Seven did suck. But one of the funniest episodes was a Seven episode.

Where the family goes to the park to celebrate Seven's B-day and finds the park reserved by a family of assholes.


good ep. but not as good as the episode where their air conditioning breaks and they go to live in the supermarket.

the baby on malcolm in the middle...the show was funny the first 2 seasons until it became repetitive: Here i'll give you spoilers for every episode you're ever going to see of that show:

Malcolm and Reese get in a fight over a girl/bike/etc. and end up causing some sort of accident which then requires them to work together some how. Lois will scream like an annoying b**** and use some sort of draconian blanket punishment that doesn't make any sense by any standard. Francis will bitch about his mother. Hal will get obssessed with something innane, like a bulldozer, or his wife haveing a huge cottage-cheese ass (i wish i was making that last one up), he'll use phrases like 'oh mama...' when addressing whatever object he's obssessed with, and his lower lip will quiver. He will ultimately get in trouble for this obsession and Lois will scream like a b**** some more. Dewey will act like an effiminate annoying poster-child for abortion. The end.

no way. the sam/diane/frasier love triangle was one of the best parts of the show.
