View Full Version : Show got better as kids got older bus_stop 08-25-2002, 05:56 PM Its common knowledge that as the kids of a show get older and hit their teenage years a show generally becomes not as good (family matters, home improvement) Does anybody know of a show that started out with young kids but actually got better as the kids became older and less 'cute' Bus_Stop Central Perk 08-25-2002, 08:01 PM Originally posted by bus_stop Its common knowledge that as the kids of a show get older and hit their teenage years a show generally becomes not as good (family matters, home improvement) Does anybody know of a show that started out with young kids but actually got better as the kids became older and less 'cute' Bus_Stop In my opinion I'd say that The Cosby Show got better when the kids got older..thats just my opinion... DarleneIllyria 08-25-2002, 08:05 PM I can't really think of any off the top of my head. The main shows that I like that had kids on the show jumped when they got older. Main examples of that would be Diff'rent Strokes, The Andy Griffith Show, and Leave it to Beaver (Beaver growing up. Wally didn't bother me all that much when he grew older.) Can I say Facts of Life for this one? They started off young teenagers, and I think it got better as they got older.

I personally liked 8-year old Michelle better than little baby Michelle. Janice 08-26-2002, 11:11 AM Family Ties. It got more interesting to me as the teens got older and handled adult issues.

Even Roseanne too, I liked some of the storylines that revolved around teenage Darlene, SOME of them.

Even Roseanne too, I liked some of the storylines that revolved around teenage Darlene, SOME of them. I agree with on Wonder Years when Winnie was always finding another boyfriend. Also on Married with Chidren even though the show got really strange and made no sense. Also agree on Roseanne with such good episodes revolving around Darlene and at times Becky.

But I disagree with the assessment that Leave it to Beaver grew worse with the growth of the boys. I personally think the last year of the show was the best.

Every character on that show was funny exept for the little kid Nicky thay added in the last two seasons. I don't know why they added him. Every charcter was funny especially Jeffry and Carlton. And I must say the actor who played Carlton is what Wayne Brady is not. Funny. Superbatboy 09-09-2002, 11:13 PM Roseanne was better when the kids got older, especially Darlene with her sardonic wit. The Cosby Show could've been better with the kids being older...there was just one problem. None of the original kids got much airtime after season 5. Olivia and Pam basically took over the show.

Happy Days The Flintstones Basicly any show with kids...... ¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ 09-12-2002, 12:07 AM Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. |
