00:00What TV family did you most identify with as a kid?
00:04I was with the Keetons. I was family ties all the way.
00:08I was just a hyper little, very driven weirdo,
00:11who understood that sort of, you know, dynamic with Mom and Dad
00:15and thinking you know better, and often being proven wrong
00:18at the kitchen counter at the end of my half-hours with my parents, too.
00:23Yeah, no, that was us.
00:25What about you, Piggy?
00:26I mean, the first one that came into my head was absolutely fabulous.
00:30I'm not answering anyone in service.
00:33I like that. I think we should take that.
00:36What about you guys?
00:37I mean, Cosby. They felt most, yeah, we did like lip syncing things in my house.
00:41I wish the Cosby's felt like, I was good times.
00:46I wanted to be good times.
00:48But who on good times?
00:50I was probably Michael.
00:52I was Booker.
00:55I still feel like a Booker.
00:57See, for me, I would have done that show as the Booker show.
00:59I was into Taxi as a kid.
01:04I loved Taxi.
01:05I was obsessed with that show.
01:06Not just because the lead's name was Judd.
01:09No one helps.
01:11I love that group of people in that family,
01:13and Andy Kaufman, and Danny DeVito, and everybody.
01:16Yeah, I was going to go, it's not really a family, but I was going to go like early M.A.S.H.
01:19Like Wayne Rodgers dropped me on early M.A.S.H.
01:21It does not really .
01:22Oh, yeah, shit.
01:24Oh, yeah, shit.
