I've been rewatching the "divorce" episode. There's a lot about it that surprises me - first, the show is surprisingly smart. So much of what I've seen on Nickelodeon these days is really vapid by comparison. I am also amazed that it has aged pretty well. Many people commented on how bad "In Living Color" had become when it came out on DVD. I never got that sense with this: there are lots of musical pop culture references, but otherwise it could have been easily shot today.

Finally, now that I'm surrounded by Python paraphenalia, I love the Python-esque-ness of the show, especially the opening. There were several segments where I half expected the Spanish Inquisition - but no one expects that.

Thanks for a nostalgia fix =)

Did you know a very young Alanis Morrisette had a role in the show? She played one of the kids(Alanis-I think all the kids used their real first name.)

As I recall she got slimed alot.

I loved it as a kid too. Everytime someone said "I don't know" in real life we should be allowed to throw slime on them.

I remember this show! It brings back so many memories. My sister and I used to say "I don't know" over and over again at the beach and pour water over eachother's heads. I remember them always putting their faces in the slime and opening their mouths..I wanted so badly to do the same thing and see what it tasted like.
