Adam and Will take a first time watch of Double Trouble (https://web.archive.org/web/20061031125223/http://www.jumptheshark.com/d/doubletrouble.htm) from 1984, the short-lived sitcom starring twin sisters, Liz and Jean Sagal. Was this forgotten series double the fun or double the dregs? Listen now and find out, TV Lovers!

I do remember the show and the promos how these twins were going to be huge stars. I remember watching one show and not liking it. I was watching some episodes on youtube lately. OMG the show is horrible and I am surprised the network greenlighted the pilot. Its so plastic. The second season's opening looks like a SNL opening with glamor shots. The twins are always dressed in designer clothes, have perfect hair and make up too. They even get out of bed with tons of make up on and perfect hair. Their aunt is so plastic and inauthentic. We never see any vulnerability with the twins. Everything is perfect in their world. It sort of reminds me of All American Girl. Margaret Cho is a hysterical comedian but they made her and her family so plastic and sugar pretend sweet that it was not funny. The sitcoms that work are where we can find humor in the lows the characters have.
