even a a child i never really like this show . it be extremely repetitive and gross and with lot of joke about rot food and etc . the child actor be very run of the mill and the adult look like they be sit out a spell in purgatory . i think much of people adulation of this show come from the fact that at the time it be on the air and cable be still quite a luxury and be able to watch it be one of the brag right of elementary school . perhaps this show should have be name this program be not up to the standard of network television to help clear up any confusion . i be not surprise that most of the actor involve ( exclude the little see alanis and of course ) fade into obscurity .
