I'm not sure anyone asked about this before, but what was your favorite show that aired after 'Full House' which starred actors from the show. I'm going with "Two of a Kind." But I also really liked "Raising Dad" and "Summerland."

Jake in Progress

Daffyfan2004 · 12-19-2007, 09:17 AM

I'm glad someone finally responded here. I knew I could always trust a 'Scooby-Doo' fan. Lol. Anyway, I've seen some episodes of 'Jake' and they just didn't quite do it for me for some reason. I stopped watching when they moved it to a later time slot. I always prefered more family oriented shows. But that's okay. You're entitled to your opinion.

Two of A Kind

Because those shows sucked so much, I'll have to write-in my submission. Even though you never see him, Saget's narration in How I Met Your Mother is an unbelievably awesome show, and even if you cut it's awesomeness in half due to Saget only being the narrator, it would still be better than those other options.

Two of a Kind, which debuted just three years after FH ended was a good show. I remember I watched its only season from 1998-99 in the sixth grade with my grandmother, who was always my sitcom buddy. I had great confidence in the show and I had hoped it would stay on for a few years. But after one damn season the Olsen Twins decided they didn't like TV and went on to make more mediocre movies. The show had a great Chicago setting, interesting supporting characters, and helped an ailing TGIF in the late 90s.

So Little Time is the only other show I have seen on this poll and it was alright. Nothing special. I can see why it only lasted a few short seasons. It had a dull L.A. setting where nothing looked real, uninteresting supporting characters, and the Olsen Twins were a bit too old to continue portrying teenage life on TV in a humorous way. They outstayed their welcome on TV. I wish them the best in their future careers whether it be directing or acting. Just no more sitcoms! They already topped themselves with FH.

I loved Summerland. I hated "Jake" and "So Little Time". Raising Dad was a pretty good show and was very enjoyable it was just on the wrong network and in an ok timeslot.

Schmoopie · 07-13-2008, 08:31 AM

I liked "Two of a Kind" and I also liked "Jake in Progress" a little. I was hoping it would do better than it did. They never really gave it a chance.

In my humble opinion, Two Of A Kind "hands down".....here is some trivia....

Besides being an obvious reference to the olsen twins being "two of a kind" in looks, they actually choose the title because it was also a poker term as in "Full House" and "Two Of A Kind"..they thought it would bring them luck....

A very underrated show that had a great cast, I know it was rerun to death on ABC Family when it was an "Olsen Network"....remember those endless Sunday afternoon movie marathons...lol......anyway I did record the entire series on DVD because I thought they were funny and it was charming......doubt we will ever see a DVD release.

PrettyinPink55 · 07-13-2008, 05:51 PM

How I Met Your Mother? LOL!!! I mean, Bob narrates it!
Out of the choices I picked "Two of a Kind."

Schmoopie · 07-14-2008, 02:49 AM

"Two of a Kind" was a cute show. I watched it quite a bit. That was back when I thought the Olson twins were still cute. Now they just annoy me.

Now, I'm hooked to How I Met Your Mother! So what if Saget only narrates, its still one of the best sitcoms on TV:]

90210 with Lori Loughlin and Make It Or Break It with Candace Cameron are my favorites at the moment.
