Charlie Sheen was the guy that made that show watchable.
Haha thats bullshit. Allan Harper is a great character in the show and I can safely say it contributes to alot of what makes the show hilarious.
Exactly... Without Alan, the show loses a lot of its value. The premise of the show is how Alan (beta) does everything "the right way" (i.e., 9-5 job, marriage, kid, kissing up to women, etc.), and always gets nothing but a foot in his ass because of it. On the other hand, Charlie (alpha) lives life on his own terms, makes no apologies for it, and he lives a kick-ass life because of it. The show needs Alan, for the sake of that comparison.
Anyway, my contribution to this thread is the following:
As a kid, "Family Matters" was my favorite show. Friday nights at 8, I never ever missed it. I look back at these episodes now, and it is cringeworthy. Now, I know Urkel is just a comedy character, made for cheap laughs. However, the lengths to which he went for Laura got more and more ridiculous every episode and season. In many of the episodes, he gets absolutely crushed by this bitch, and he just stands there and makes the sad puppy face. Laura really was an evil bitch. If the Laura character was a guy, everyone would have said how much of a no-good dog he was. The interesting part is that Stefan Urquelle always made Laura swoon. That is the teachable part of the show, now that I think about it. The same exact guy, but with an alpha presence and different clothing, produced the polar opposite result of his beta persona.
