The original series was moronic, but like every bored kid I watched when I was young. This show, though, I actually enjoyed (at the proper age, it's just a silly sitcom). It was much better than the original show, and even had a sense of humor about itself. Didn't spawn very many episodes, the competition (Full House) killed it after the first season - but they realized they were done for before the season was up and actually managed to forge a 'finale' where Zach and Kelley decide to get married (to everybody elses objection). Then they popped up that summer with a two-hour movie about the actual wedding, but that was just plain awful. But this show definitely deserved a longer run, especially since the horrible original lasted five seasons!
