Always had a crush on her. (sorry, John Ritter) As I kid I sure had a crush on a lot of redheads (her, Gates McFadden from Star Trek: TNG, Scarlett from G.I. Joe...)

So did you end up with a redhead?

VinLeesel@reddit

I did not! Though I think I went on dates with a larger than average number of redheads, given the rarity of redheads.

John Ritter really liked working with his wife and who could blame him she’s great, I will always remember the way her character really helped balance out the cast of Wings.

That piano intro, it was its own thing for a comedy. Roy having a killswitch under his dash to turn off the brake lights and cause insurance fraud. Lowell and Antonio going on to have stellar careers after this show. Even Brian Hackett showing up in Studio 60 - it was a decent one-off show.

Oooo they didn't marry until after these movies, 1999, he was married to his first wife Nancy Morgan until 96, she was gorgeous too.

My bro played this movie over the summer for a bunch of the niece and nephews. It didn't age well, and it was actually a bit of a relief to see the kids find it cruel and questionable. There is hope for kindness. I still laughed.

It's supposed to be that wonky humor. I think the 2nd one was better. I recall the crazy dance scene and just laugh.

Reply

pbellyup@reddit

I loved both but the second was my favorite too. The vomiting scene.. I’d always cry laughing. As a 40 something year old, I watched it again and still cry laughed and I thought I had matured.

Reply

[-]

BourbonAchiever@reddit

I understand. It's hilarious. But it's still got some parts that didn't age well. Also one of the kids in the room was adopted, so that made it an extra bad movie choice. Yes, I told him it was a bad idea. And was ignored like the middle child I am.

If it was, I don't remember and I'm not finding it available to stream right now. There was a joke in the second one bc all of lawandas ex husbands were John Ritter in the pictures. https://preview.redd.it/jqtld1fjh60e1.png?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7888c1d57b2af7ac1539c5844f55c5001bb140f7

I saw this movie on tv and I was like wow.. with some parts not aging well - but John Ritter made it tolerable to watch. And then seeing Micheal Richards playing in it. We watched a lot of movies that didn’t age well.

I fully agree Clifford is FAR superior. But I have a special place in my memories for Problem Child 2 because of the carnival scene on that spinning ride that when I first saw it I thought was the funniest thing ever.
