"I see the distinction. And you described MacDonald perfectly. I always felt like he was contemptuous of his audience, which included me. As you say, probably just a persona. He was probably more personable among other comedians, and they apparently…"
"People who actually knew him all say he was a fine, compassionate person."
"I'd say Norm MacDonald was very popular with other comedians moreso than the general public -- his public persona was being a prickly, arrogant jerk -- but there is genuine public affection for Bob Saget and his persona as the genial goofy dad…"
"Full House started when I was still in junior high, so while I didn't watch it every week, I did watch it for the first 2-3 seasons. I was a huge consumer of stand-up on cable, so I was already familiar with Bob Saget. I remembered John Stamos…"
"I never watched Full House either. Or America's Funniest Home Videos. I was only vaguely aware of Bob Saget's existence. But for the second time recently, a comedian who was very popular with other comedians moreso than the general public…"
"I may have watched a couple of episodes over the years. I think syndication has caused older shows like this to be watched and adored by kids long after they originally aired. Depending on their ages when starting to watch a show it will be close to…"
"My view tracks with Randy's. I hardly ever watched Full House and didn't think much of it when I did. But for those people who love it, God bless them.
I think Full House was to a certain generation the way The Brady Bunch was to a…"
"I dimly remember him from as the America's Funniest Home Videos guy. Don't think I ever saw Full House."
Bob Saget RIP
Bob Saget found dead at 65It's interesting. I'm sure that most here were like me--aware of Full House, but without it having any sort of major impact on my life. I remember watching a handful of episodes and understanding that it wasn't for me. I'm guessing a lot of people ftom my generation feel the same…See More
"I think I found you and this community around the same time as Mark Sullivan. I was just getting back into comics after a hiatus starting around 1989, and I wanted to discuss what I was reading. I was surprised I was able to answer a bit of trivia…"
"Interesting the different memories people have. I remember Poitier primarily from the series of movies where he co-starred alongside Bill Cosby(Uptown Saturday Night, Let's Do It Again). "
"I think people who buy comics in the USA, mostly adults over 40, would care. Kids 12-18 who've never heard of the character before? Not so much. "
"I wonder if this has anything to do with Disney about to lose control of some of it's IP: Disney Risks Losing Copyright Protection on Some of Its Most Iconic and Lucrative Characters"
"As I recall, the Vulture wanted to do just that, but the others all wanted the glory of defeating Spider-Man by themselves.
Also, there were a number of cameos in the book from the likes of Dr. Strange and the Human Torch, the latter of whom…"
"I'm pretty sure I also heard about it on Monday Night Football. That triggered me into becoming a much bigger Beatles fan. My sister and I both got very into them and we even attended Beatlesfest a few times. "
