7th Heaven was never about Christianity or religion it was a “television programming” show created to mock people who serve “The Truth”. There were absolutely no true servants/disciples ever on any “television programming show” that is presented to us by the mainstream “entertainment programming industry”. I think you people lack comprehensive understanding and critical thinking skills to understand that these “television programming shows” have “actors/actresses” who play fictitious roles from a script. 7th Heaven is not Christian media but rather “Hollywood Entertainment Industry”. You really think the system network that controls broadcasting would ever actually allow real true Christian to be shown to the world on their “controlled brainwashing networks” televised for you people to actually see and hear.? The joke is on you week feeble minded people who are trapped cornered and scared and you don’t know your own reality/existence and most of you believe you are upside down spinning on a water world ball. 😂😂😂😂.
The way that they forced that alcoholic aunt to be shut up in a room to detox is literally so dangerous. There are certain substances that you really need to be careful detoxing from, if you are a serious addict.
Yeah 10 years ago, a good friend of mine decided to quit drinking alcohol cold turkey. 30 hours in to detoxing at home, he had a severe seizure that left him with brain damage, unable to walk, and he nearly died. He was 27 at the time. He’s lived in an assisted living facility ever since.
The fact this show blamed so many things (alcoholism, drugs...) on being poor, it's hysterical. Like, "girl, stop being poor and your life will get better". LMAO
Well, they aren't wrong. Rich people can drink and do drugs with little consequence. Poor people can't really afford to be getting high and drunk all day, so when they do it is quite detrimental. It is super easy, don't be poor.
I love the "And I really think someone should... take-a-look-at-your-hard-drive." I love how in the recommended tab next to this video, I had a true crime video from Dreading about Stephen Collins. UA-cam algorithm is like "In case you need some context, that's a Baaad Man".
When the mom bangs her chest at the white thugs and says “wanna piece of this?” That moment has lived rent free in my head ever since I saw it over 20 years ago 😅
This family reminds of someone I knew who kept telling his son he risked his entire future by skipping a class ONCE to go to a movie with friends. Six months later the dad was still going on about it. I wanted to say, “you’ve never had to deal with an actual real problem, have you?”
Ugh my dad was like that. He was still going on about things I did in high school when I was 25. And he doesn't understand why I am no contact with him now...
I knew some kids their mother never let them have Lunch money or any other money to 'keep them off drugs.' I swear. Also, just buy your kids lunch at the start of the year.
No. With these annoying Christians real problems are completely ignored until they explode into something so big they can't be ignored anymore. To wit: @KalteSpatz who no longer contacts her dad anymore. That's a huge problem that is totally ignored by her dad, I bet.
it was very amusing how half of the children actors left the show more and less permanently and story just shrugs it off, replacing them with foster children and sons-in-law. Dude, your daughter has left your family so hard that she left your universe, you're not in the position to give family advices.
@@_adrian_seannot sure what you're talking about a ton of Christians would not watch this show. I am Christian and I heard people say when I was younger how this show is not Christian and I never watched it until I was way older just to see what it was about. Many "church" people are not even Christian themselves so much so that many of them thought this show was Christian in the first place.
I think that's the single greatest moment from a very special episode of any show ever. The dad acting like the mom just admitted to killing a man and fucking the corpse when she admits to smoking weed once in college in the 70s.
😂😂😂 Honestly, I would watch a reboot of that show, if it was instead told from the perspective of the other students, neighbours etc. Just reflecting on the weird almost-homeschool kids and their nosy parents 😅😅 Like a big mockumentary tell-all from the poor people affected by their bullshit.
I would watch it if it was like his last clip in this video. Of all the kids in therapy and each episode is them reflecting on a stupid moment that scarred them lol
Nah they didn't home school until the twins' teacher said the word "ask" so it sounded to the father like "ax". Can't have their precious boys raised by a teacher with an accent!. How could they spread their insane morals to the community if the kids wern't infecting the minds of the local schools with their virtues?
I can’t believe how many THE POORS episodes there were yet their ‘christian’ charity went as far as cleaning the dad’s apartment. Oh and all their moms are dead 😂

My personal favourite was when they got a call from the doctor telling them their daughter was pregnant so they confronted her and she simply told them she couldn't be. Of course they didn't believe her. Turned out mom had gone for her physical with the same doctor around the same time and the office had mixed up the names. So much better.

@@matthewm.986no I remember that episode,they didn’t believe her & her bf weren’t sexually involved. I’m pretty sure they were basically harassing her about it until they got the call about the mix up.
I'm a pastor's kid and I remember watching this show all the time growing up in the 90s, with my mom and sister. My mom was constantly annoyed at the fancy house they lived in that a real pastor's salary could never afford XD. She also loved analyzing all the tings that would never happen in a real church office.
Thank you for this ! My husband and I watched the entire series together some years ago, basically reacting just like you... It was so funny. "Even the dog is a snitch!” is a great motto for this perfect US family. Still big fans of Jessica Biel, by the way. Too bad she was not available... Greetings from Europe!
It depends how dependent you are. You have to be a hard core alkie for a long time for detox to be fatal. The sister was fine a couple years ago, so she wasn't so far gone she needed to be hospitalized. They mentioned that several times in the episode. At her stage of alcoholism, it would just be a very miserable weak or two.
I know! So many people don’t realize that! I had a neighbor who kept trying to detox at home by himself! Don’t do it! Go to the hospital or a detox clinic!
The "Aunt Julie is an alcoholic" episode is wild! I only now as an adult realize how absurdly irresponsible it was for Eric and Annie to try and detox her at home with five children in the house. What were they thinking! They should have put her in rehab immediately and let medical professionals help her detox.
In response to “you better not be looking at my wife”, instead of saying he’s a doctor, you think the first line of defense would be “IM HER BROTHER”. LOL Oh man this show is too good.
I think maybe he went with DOCTOR because BROTHER was already implied...but shit...who knows. We want to explain the reason he needed to look or touch his sister is in a professional capacity, not highlight the reason it's awkward
I didn't, he always upset me. I always thought he was secretly making fun of everyone in his head because he smiled like my know it all older cousin lol. He didn't turn out as bad as Pastor dad though *shivers*. He's just an idiot.
This show was seriously wild! My favorite is after the actor that played Matt was just so sick of the BS of the show he quit so they had some "bad boy" the family was trying to reform move in to replace him. His "bad boy" behaviour: he is comfortable with his own body and unashamed to show his chest and flirt with girls. I just remember the end of the first episode where they started to bring him in as a replacement for Matt as Matt was phased out of the story that Simon is walking around shirtless and the sisters shame him for it since the new guy only walks around shirtless now when he's going to take a shower. But the weird thing is that Simon only goes shirtless in the episode when he is at home with the family... who in the hell was he showing off for?
Actually Matt had health problems he was struggling with towards the end of the show that's why he wasn't on the show a lot. Mary left the show cause she hated playing the good girl and Robbie was her replacement because she did a sexy magazine cover so they cut her role because it went against "Their brand"
@@lstarsabb Oh yeah that's right the actor that played Matt had a run in with cancer or some other long/chronic illness. I totally forgot about that. Thanks for posting that correction that he was a replacement for Mary not Matt.
@@KariIzumi1 lol that is reminding me of when Clueless had to do a anti-drug and reckless living PSA episode. Cher and Dee's childhood best friend comes to visit and has gone all goth, and become a pothead as a result of a neglectful father. She lights up a joint while they are out driving the other three refuse the joint but a cop tries to pull them over so they toss the joint and somehow the police officer picks it up even though they tossed it quite a ways back before pulling over and the police officer just walks over with the half a joint. Cut to Cher, Dee, and Amber in prison waiting for their parents to bail them out. LMAO
@@CartoonHero1986 I remember that episode....I remember their goth friend but forgot about the cannabis lol It's just so unserious in IRL Beverly Hills kids can just score cocaine with Daddy's money and no one would give two shits about weed since they could all afford medical cannabis cards.
All the low blow jab at Stephen Collins all through the video sent me to jail... Hilarious, i am so immersed with your convoluted story telling and you just break the 4th wall with all the pedo jokes... I died
OMFG, I watched this series back when it was on, and back then I actually never realized how weird and unhinged it was!!!😂😅. Like, seeing this now, I am almost pissing myself
Rob, this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. 😂😂7th Heaven is so nuts! Thank you!! You’re the best 🩵🩵 Edit: omg the therapy session at the very end!
The thing that drove me the most crazy about this show is that the characters would never say goodbye before hanging up the phone. Well, that and Kevin's police partner who was the sole voice against the Iraq war, then all of a sudden a few episodes later she's super supportive of the war and the president.
The not saying goodbye over the phone thing is in pretty much every tv show. I’ve always assumed it was to save time, but it feels so phony, nobody just hangs up like that. Also not closing the door after entering a house, every 90s sitcom was guilty of that bullshit
Lol that whole “everyone is good looking “ shit is stuff I heard a lot as a kid. There were only 4 of us but adults were constantly telling our mom about our looks like, as a collective.
I can relate. Except for me, it was always people, mainly older women, walking and telling my mom, or more often, my grandma, that I was "too pretty to be a boy." Which didn't seem as weird until I grew up and thought about it. I do have really "soft," facial features and what not. Even as an adult. But damn! 😹😹😹
@@gateauxq4604pretty sure a lot of older family members say stuff like that as a way to build confidence, but don't realize how weird they sound. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule and kids should tell their parents if its making them uncomfortable.
There is an episode I remember where Simon is invited by a girl over to her house. The girl wants to have sex with Simon but he says no and they invite other friends around to hang out instead. But the pastor is suspicious and goes over to her house and spies through the window to make sure Simon wasn't having sex. The Pastor was always making it his mission to ensure that none of his kids had sex. Why is he always spying through windows and hiding, watching from behind things?
Omg I have been doing a rewatch from the beginning as well and I have been HORRIFIED by how problematic this show was. It turned into a hate watch. Those kids had so many ‘talks’ with their parents it was ridiculous. And for a Christian family that is supposed to have responsible rules around dating and sex it sure was a constant topic as well as the parents constantly being inappropriate and weird… if people really did grow up in these types of households they would have so many hang ups. Also the oldest brother is borderline stalker and gaslighting in his relationships
This 18 minutes of my life spent watching this collection of shorts was so therapeutic. You are a godsend for healing years of trauma I had as a little kid watching this horrible show. 😢
Omg i SCREAM LAUGHED at this!! Your commentary is so hilarious! I totally remember watching this as a kid on WB every week but really dont remember it being this ridiculous lol
As unhinged as most these are, the “flipping the bird,” episode takes cake by a mile. I mean, not even in a malicious way, he was laughing joking around. I worked for an inner city charter school, basically just chaperoning kids all day, and “flipping the bird” maliciously would’ve maybe gotten a “Hey, cut it out” out from me. If they were joking when they did it, like Simon here, it’s unlikely it would even register as something worth mildly reprimanding them for
Of course the dad is randomly hanging around outside the school when they hug in the middle finger episode 😅😅 the bulimia one is probably the most bizarre, how did they even come up with that storyline 😂
I'd like to think they were trying to vilify bulimic people but halfway through writing someone was like, "hey, that's not evil, it's actually just a medical condition" so they switched things up a bit.
LOL. You didn’t even mention the episode where the math teacher keeps stealing Lucy’s lunch that Lucy accidentally leaves in the classroom everyday and comes home hungry. When she tells her mom about it, the mom isn’t even upset, just goes to find out why and the teacher says she’s using the theft of her lunch in hopes that child hunger might help Lucy understand the geometry problem. I mostly remember it because most of my teachers at the small rural school I went to were devout Christians and for several days after that episode aired they all had some variation of a rant on how horrible the teacher and the parents were for doing that to a kid. Love the cameo at the end! I haven’t watched that show in years and really only used to watch reruns of it during the summer when my friends were away at campe or our camping with family or off at family reunions. I mostly thought it was a weird show (especially when I was told it wasn’t a comedy by a classmate) and never really understood why it was popular. Especially since so many very devoutly religious people I knew seemed to constantly rant about the show’s episodes. Like I rarely ever heard anyone talk about it as if they watched it because they liked it. It honestly seemed like people were either watching it to mock it or watching it to criticize it. But I definitely remember it, so it has that going for it! Great video!
My favorite " We have save Mary from herself" is when she is dating a man twice her age and everyone in the family tries to talk her out of that so much she leaves for good until she has a big secret that she married to a random guest star from like the first season and settles down for the rest of the show 😂
Personally I remember they had an intervention for her one time and Ruthie who was like 10 was basically telling her "nah I'm not wasting my energy on you anymore, you suck"
@@bigbearkat2010 she came back after like 2 months and went to school and was on the straight in narrow. This after she tried to be a firefighter and became a flight attendant. This one was the last intervention but they all did it one by one ending with Eric ambushing her in her car and they were fighting down the highway and Mary kicked him out of the car.
Ending with the Beverly Mitchell cameo/therapy session was absolutely amazingly hilarious!!! Love that she's a good sport about all this!!😂😂😂

They opened up liquor stores so people wouldn't detox too quickly during covid as like...essential business. She needed diazepam and iv thiamine.

@gojewla maybe that's what made him perfect for the job of being a pastor on the show
I saw him in real life out with a very young girl. People said it was his niece. Either way. There were weird vibes.
I can’t understand how this show is even being shown on tv still after it coming about the actor being an admitted pediphile.

They got the house for free, it was part of the parish and came with the job so they had the extra income to buy the Snapple 😉
@@msjannes75 ty someone that knows was up
The biggest lesson you never know they just might be poor
Everytime the dad is referred to as a pedophile, you add 5 minutes to my lifespan 🤣☺️
I'm a pastor's kid and I remember watching this show all the time growing up in the 90s, with my mom and sister. My mom was constantly annoyed at the fancy house they lived in that a real pastor's salary could never afford XD. She also loved analyzing all the tings that would never happen in a real church office.
I thought it was explained in universe that the house belonged to the church so it came free with the job
I used to watch 7th Heaven like religiously (no pun intended) but the house belong to the church.

I never thought "plain silken tofu" can be used to describe a family, but here it is.
Don’t insult tofu like that!
@@Frosting1000 for real! i remember when Tofu was considered an “exotic” “ethnic” food.
this family are generic off-brand string cheese.
@@lastilnovista Don't insult string cheese like that 🤣
I'd compare them to Kraft Singles, or some generic, off-brand American cheese.
That’s an insult to tofu, tbh 😂
Unsalted saltines. They're definitely unsalted saltines.
Thank you for this ! My husband and I watched the entire series together some years ago, basically reacting just like you... It was so funny. "Even the dog is a snitch!” is a great motto for this perfect US family. Still big fans of Jessica Biel, by the way. Too bad she was not available... Greetings from Europe!
Yassss forcing an alcoholic to go through withdrawal when non-medically assisted detox from alcohol is highly fatal!
It depends how dependent you are. You have to be a hard core alkie for a long time for detox to be fatal. The sister was fine a couple years ago, so she wasn't so far gone she needed to be hospitalized. They mentioned that several times in the episode. At her stage of alcoholism, it would just be a very miserable weak or two.
Let's also ignore the kidnapping and false imprisonment.
reverend camden probably just assumed those seizures was the demon coming out.
I know! So many people don’t realize that! I had a neighbor who kept trying to detox at home by himself! Don’t do it! Go to the hospital or a detox clinic!
I'm loving the jabs at Stephen Collins😅😅😅
The "Aunt Julie is an alcoholic" episode is wild! I only now as an adult realize how absurdly irresponsible it was for Eric and Annie to try and detox her at home with five children in the house. What were they thinking! They should have put her in rehab immediately and let medical professionals help her detox.
.....and why do they have a liquor cabinet if no one in the family drinks.
@@malcorub The parents definitely drink. LOL they are drinking champagne in the first scene of the first episode of the show.
Omg I’m literally dying! Did you seriously interview Beverly??? I cannot, that interview is the best thing I’ve ever seen on the internet.
In response to “you better not be looking at my wife”, instead of saying he’s a doctor, you think the first line of defense would be “IM HER BROTHER”. LOL Oh man this show is too good.
Yeah it's like she is a possession.
I think maybe he went with DOCTOR because BROTHER was already implied...but shit...who knows. We want to explain the reason he needed to look or touch his sister is in a professional capacity, not highlight the reason it's awkward
I think the idea was that he couldn't believe someone's brother would be looking at her gibletts.
"She was my prom date first" 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My mom worshipped this show. This explains her being nosey and paranoid af 😂
same I left at 17 and never looked back watching this video explains some of it. I watched as a kid but it seemed normal and that's the scary part.
Every time he inserted the pastor dad roast in there I literally lost it lmfaooooooo
This is the type of family I wouldn’t want my kids around 🤣
LOVE the subtle, under your breath, pedophile roasts of Stephen Collins!! 🤣🤣🤣
P.S. I had such a crush on Pastor Dad, growing up. 😳
I knooooow 😢😂
Subtle? LOL What was subtle about it? He just plain calls him out for it every chance he gets, and I'm living for it.
I didn't, he always upset me. I always thought he was secretly making fun of everyone in his head because he smiled like my know it all older cousin lol. He didn't turn out as bad as Pastor dad though *shivers*. He's just an idiot.
I don't think he's a pedo, just an exhibitionist. Still creepy af, but not as bad
@@RobinFlysHighsadly he probably would've had a crush on you before you were grown up. 😅
This show was seriously wild! My favorite is after the actor that played Matt was just so sick of the BS of the show he quit so they had some "bad boy" the family was trying to reform move in to replace him. His "bad boy" behaviour: he is comfortable with his own body and unashamed to show his chest and flirt with girls. I just remember the end of the first episode where they started to bring him in as a replacement for Matt as Matt was phased out of the story that Simon is walking around shirtless and the sisters shame him for it since the new guy only walks around shirtless now when he's going to take a shower. But the weird thing is that Simon only goes shirtless in the episode when he is at home with the family... who in the hell was he showing off for?
Actually Matt had health problems he was struggling with towards the end of the show that's why he wasn't on the show a lot. Mary left the show cause she hated playing the good girl and Robbie was her replacement because she did a sexy magazine cover so they cut her role because it went against "Their brand"
@@lstarsabb Oh yeah that's right the actor that played Matt had a run in with cancer or some other long/chronic illness. I totally forgot about that. Thanks for posting that correction that he was a replacement for Mary not Matt.
And also, the way they flipped out over Mary having half a beer that one time......bruh 😭😂
@@KariIzumi1 lol that is reminding me of when Clueless had to do a anti-drug and reckless living PSA episode. Cher and Dee's childhood best friend comes to visit and has gone all goth, and become a pothead as a result of a neglectful father. She lights up a joint while they are out driving the other three refuse the joint but a cop tries to pull them over so they toss the joint and somehow the police officer picks it up even though they tossed it quite a ways back before pulling over and the police officer just walks over with the half a joint. Cut to Cher, Dee, and Amber in prison waiting for their parents to bail them out. LMAO
@@CartoonHero1986 I remember that episode....I remember their goth friend but forgot about the cannabis lol
It's just so unserious in IRL Beverly Hills kids can just score cocaine with Daddy's money and no one would give two shits about weed since they could all afford medical cannabis cards.
All the low blow jab at Stephen Collins all through the video sent me to jail... Hilarious, i am so immersed with your convoluted story telling and you just break the 4th wall with all the pedo jokes... I died
NO ONE NAMED KAREN HAS EVER BEEN IN A GANG
They are menaces all on their own 😂
Don't know how I'm JUST now seeing this 😂😂😂😂 every time you added how the pastor/dad should be in jail, an angel got its wings
OMFG, I watched this series back when it was on, and back then I actually never realized how weird and unhinged it was!!!😂😅. Like, seeing this now, I am almost pissing myself
Right 😅
It's so bad it's comical. Love Beverley Mitchell's appearance as a guest at the end!
Rob, this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. 😂😂7th Heaven is so nuts! Thank you!! You’re the best 🩵🩵
Edit: omg the therapy session at the very end!
😂😂 Lord I used to watch this show every week. And you were in the same room as Beverley Mitchell??? That's so great that she's in on the fun.
The way I am CRYING laughing at this commentary 😆
Its the pastor not minding his own business for me 😂😂😂
... didn't you touch kids??? 😂😂😂
My mom loved this show when I was a kid and now suddenly I understand her parenting 😂
😂😂😂
LMAO that last part. How did you find the actual actress to stage this? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Waaait was that her?!????
@@gateauxq4604 Yeah, it was!
I think it's awesome she did that!!
@@gateauxq4604Beverly Mitchell ❤ she was also in a saw movie which threw me for a loop
@@ontxtteredwxngshe fact the mom was in Childs Play 😅 it messes with my mind.
The thing that drove me the most crazy about this show is that the characters would never say goodbye before hanging up the phone. Well, that and Kevin's police partner who was the sole voice against the Iraq war, then all of a sudden a few episodes later she's super supportive of the war and the president.
Lol most people in my family don't say goodbye when hanging up the phone either, but it still drives me insane
I bet it was bc of Natalie Maines’ views and the show runners not wanting to be cancelled like the Dixie chicks at that time.
It would be really weird if they were saying goodbye after hanging up the phone.
The not saying goodbye over the phone thing is in pretty much every tv show. I’ve always assumed it was to save time, but it feels so phony, nobody just hangs up like that. Also not closing the door after entering a house, every 90s sitcom was guilty of that bullshit
This is the absolute funniest thing I've watched in quite a while (your commentary & the episode plots). It is 9:30am and I needed this so much!!
The middle finger episode was my absolute favorite. The outrage was so over-the-top that I almost forgot it was over-the-top.
Lol that whole “everyone is good looking “ shit is stuff I heard a lot as a kid. There were only 4 of us but adults were constantly telling our mom about our looks like, as a collective.
Sounds like they were shopping 🤢
I can relate. Except for me, it was always people, mainly older women, walking and telling my mom, or more often, my grandma, that I was "too pretty to be a boy." Which didn't seem as weird until I grew up and thought about it. I do have really "soft," facial features and what not. Even as an adult. But damn! 😹😹😹
@@gateauxq4604pretty sure a lot of older family members say stuff like that as a way to build confidence, but don't realize how weird they sound. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule and kids should tell their parents if its making them uncomfortable.
Lets just get offended at everything
I live for the guest appearance at the end! 😂
"Aren't you a predator?" Sent me!!! 🤣☠️
I kept a secret jared fogle, 😭😭💀⚰️
This is one of my comfort shows just because it reminds me of being a kid and I was big Lucy fan but thank you for this 😂😂
There is an episode I remember where Simon is invited by a girl over to her house. The girl wants to have sex with Simon but he says no and they invite other friends around to hang out instead. But the pastor is suspicious and goes over to her house and spies through the window to make sure Simon wasn't having sex. The Pastor was always making it his mission to ensure that none of his kids had sex. Why is he always spying through windows and hiding, watching from behind things?
It's just foreshadowing.
He was actually trying to watch. He was hoping to eventually get to.
Yet the parents have 7 kids.
A lot of storks must have visited their house.
He brought some binoculars, just in case.
Yeah, when the dad sat outside the hoyts, he ain't watching Simon.
Rolling hard on ginkgo biloba 😂😂😂
Oh my goodness Fruitopia forgot all about that
Omg the drunk aunt getting the makeover only to end up serving Sarah: Plain & Tall
This is my FAVORITE UA-cam video EVER! How have I never had this in my feed before??
"she might just be poor" is the follow up for every argument.
Pastor: You’re a bad dad
Coach: Aren’t you a predator?
Me:💀
Omg I have been doing a rewatch from the beginning as well and I have been HORRIFIED by how problematic this show was. It turned into a hate watch. Those kids had so many ‘talks’ with their parents it was ridiculous. And for a Christian family that is supposed to have responsible rules around dating and sex it sure was a constant topic as well as the parents constantly being inappropriate and weird… if people really did grow up in these types of households they would have so many hang ups. Also the oldest brother is borderline stalker and gaslighting in his relationships
The family was actually Protestant not Christian
@Sweetkaos26 Protestants ARE Christians. They believe in the teachings of and worship Jesus Christ, that's the basic definition of a Christian.
@@Sweetkaos26Protestant are Christian
So basically Full House with a Degrassi edge
Whoa. Didn’t realize the actor playing the dad was a convicted child molester.😮😮😮
He looks like one.
He was method acting
Yep, he loves the peaches & pancakes. 😵💫
Yea and the worst part is he never served time
@@cecenick123 - I don't think any of the victims came forward.
Omg please recap every single episode!
Omg I don’t know you but I love this and you and I’m subscribing “let’s call Chris Hanson” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Listen, I’m a Christian, and I still cackled all the way through this. I need more.
The way I was hooked on this show as a kid is so embarrassing!
😂 same!
I was Christian growing up and definitely hooked on the show too 😂😂😂 we literally gathered as a family every Monday to watch it.
This 18 minutes of my life spent watching this collection of shorts was so therapeutic. You are a godsend for healing years of trauma I had as a little kid watching this horrible show. 😢
Omg i SCREAM LAUGHED at this!! Your commentary is so hilarious! I totally remember watching this as a kid on WB every week but really dont remember it being this ridiculous lol
Wow let’s just pray that wholesome shows are still made. The world lost its mind and need a little 7th heaven in 2024 for real.
As unhinged as most these are, the “flipping the bird,” episode takes cake by a mile. I mean, not even in a malicious way, he was laughing joking around. I worked for an inner city charter school, basically just chaperoning kids all day, and “flipping the bird” maliciously would’ve maybe gotten a “Hey, cut it out” out from me. If they were joking when they did it, like Simon here, it’s unlikely it would even register as something worth mildly reprimanding them for
The way the camera panned closer to the moms face was amazing lol like she was about ready to crucify simon.
Of course the dad is randomly hanging around outside the school when they hug in the middle finger episode 😅😅 the bulimia one is probably the most bizarre, how did they even come up with that storyline 😂
I'd like to think they were trying to vilify bulimic people but halfway through writing someone was like, "hey, that's not evil, it's actually just a medical condition" so they switched things up a bit.
Of course the dad was just randomly just hanging outside the school.
LOL. You didn’t even mention the episode where the math teacher keeps stealing Lucy’s lunch that Lucy accidentally leaves in the classroom everyday and comes home hungry. When she tells her mom about it, the mom isn’t even upset, just goes to find out why and the teacher says she’s using the theft of her lunch in hopes that child hunger might help Lucy understand the geometry problem. I mostly remember it because most of my teachers at the small rural school I went to were devout Christians and for several days after that episode aired they all had some variation of a rant on how horrible the teacher and the parents were for doing that to a kid. Love the cameo at the end! I haven’t watched that show in years and really only used to watch reruns of it during the summer when my friends were away at campe or our camping with family or off at family reunions. I mostly thought it was a weird show (especially when I was told it wasn’t a comedy by a classmate) and never really understood why it was popular. Especially since so many very devoutly religious people I knew seemed to constantly rant about the show’s episodes. Like I rarely ever heard anyone talk about it as if they watched it because they liked it. It honestly seemed like people were either watching it to mock it or watching it to criticize it. But I definitely remember it, so it has that going for it!
Great video!
My favorite " We have save Mary from herself" is when she is dating a man twice her age and everyone in the family tries to talk her out of that so much she leaves for good until she has a big secret that she married to a random guest star from like the first season and settles down for the rest of the show 😂
Personally I remember they had an intervention for her one time and Ruthie who was like 10 was basically telling her "nah I'm not wasting my energy on you anymore, you suck"
@@bigbearkat2010 she came back after like 2 months and went to school and was on the straight in narrow. This after she tried to be a firefighter and became a flight attendant. This one was the last intervention but they all did it one by one ending with Eric ambushing her in her car and they were fighting down the highway and Mary kicked him out of the car.
I’m dying from the nunchucks scene everytime 😂
The little snide comments about Stephen Collins peppered throughout are amazing!
THANK YOU! I was waiting, for decades now, to meet someone who hated to love this show as much as I do!
Haha yus
This show is an absolute riot and should be watched entirely for historical purposes.
I wonder why I was so obsessed with this show when I was 12 and then I realize it's because Barry Watson was very pleasant to look at.
Same honestly 🤣
I'm crying.... this compilation is GOLD
Therapist: I am going to make so. Much. MONEY.
I like how they call glue-sniffing "huffing". It almost sounds wholesome 😂
That’s what it was called back then.
