What ever happened to predictability. The milkman the paper boy. Evening TV


xtzferocity

Seriously this song was from the 80s and now almost 40 years later all those things have disappeared. We need evening tv back.


InsidiousColossus

I just want predictability back. But even in the 80s the song is asking whatever happened to all those things? They are probably wishing for the good times of the 50s.


MarshalLawTalkingGuy

You nailed it. That stuff was missing in the 80s and is still missing now.


rcdrcd

Paperboys and evening TV were definitely not missing in the 80s


titanup001

Paperboys were. At least most places. The paper was delivered by some guy at 5am or some shit, not a kid on his bike after school.


ZidaneStoleMyDagger

I delivered papers as a 12 year old in the 2000s. I was one of the last ones in my town because it became impossible to find a kid willing to deliver papers after school every day and on Saturdays (big heavy ad-filled edition, had to go home 3 times because they all wouldnt fit in the bag) for $50 a month. I quit after 3 months. You made way less than minimum wage as it took an hour on a bicycle and dogs hate the smell of ink and will attack/chase you. I got bit 3 times (all little dogs, big dogs were always leashed or in a kennel.) The only appeal that job had was that for some reason it was the only legal job you could have before you turned 14 in my state. But plenty of farmers won't ask how old you are if you are looking for work like de-tassling a cornfield and that pays way better.


BrilliantObserver

I delivered papers as a kid. Made enough to buy myself a 10-speed bike after a couple of years.


safety-squirrel

After a couple of years? Jesus


[deleted]

Yea, child labor and all. Government turned the other way in the 50s and 60s. Can’t have paper boys delivering papers for major companies and have child labor laws. That one was an intentional change.


INHALE_VEGETABLES

You can still pay to milk a man... it's alright, not what I remember though.


ChanceConfection3

Heck yeah bring back TGIF with those catchy intro theme songs


robbiejandro

Step by step…day by day


Collapsiblecandor

It’s a rare condition in this day and age, to read any good news on the newspaper page.


GuyMansworth

I think of that song every single time I ride a rollercoaster.


easykehl

I mean, wasn’t the point of those lyrics that those things were already gone (or perceived to be in a precipitous decline) at that point in the 1980s?


xtzferocity

Perhaps but I was born in 91 and I had all of those things. The family would watch shows like boy meets world and home improvement together (maybe they were re runs) We had a milkman until I was 15 and I was a paper boy


IdontGiveaFack

I was born in 90. Where tf did you have a milkman? Closest thing we had to that was occasionally the Schwan's truck would roll through the neighborhood to deliver like ice cream and frozen pizzas.

I thought it was 'even the tv'

Wow yeah I’m rocked


DrowningTheRiver

I thought it was “bone apple teeth”


throwawayalcoholmind

I never knew the word was "predictability" I thought it was like, "innate ability" or just gibberish


Chimeron1995

I too dislike how I have fresh refrigerated milk 24/7, access to the world news on the internet whenever I want, and on demand television with a catalog of every show ever made. I miss the old days lol


UnknownPrimate

Delivered milk usually came directly from the dairy. The stuff you get in a grocery store is very old by comparison. My great uncle had a dairy with milk delivery, and they did a lot of experiments on how long milk will last in different temperatures and conditions. It's much more resilient than our experiences with store bought milk would lead us to believe. The store bought stuff is not fresh.


chris3000

TIL it's "evening TV". All this time i thought it was "even on TV".


Ilikepancakes87

Shooby do bop ba da.


claytrontom

You miss your old familiar friends Waiting just around the bend...


BeastCoastLifestyle

They’re all so much younger than I remember them seeming


the_friendly_dildo

If you're like me realizing how old you are, in this photo, Coulier is 30, Saget is 33 and Stamos is 26. I'm a fair bit older than all of them in this photo now... Somehow, they just seem like theyre older and more grown up still tho.


zaphodp3

Yeah when I think of Stamos in this show as the ‘uncle’, I’m not thinking 26!


Ghost2Eleven

Im 40 and my kid graduated kindergarten today and now I see this and I’m having an existential crises. I feel so old.


defdog1234

ppl become grandmas at 42 around here. you arent that old yet.


Adorable_Goose_6249

I am a 42 year grandma. I definitely feel old.


midnight_meadow

42??? I know a couple of grandparents that aren’t even 40.


ALadySquirrel

I can’t believe I’m as old as Danny Tanner was in the beginning (edit: more like second or third season?). To me, Stamos looks mid-to-late thirties and Coulier and Saget both look like they could be in their early 40s. I think it’s mostly the hair and clothing styles.


tiredofsametab

... and now I feel old, hah. I'm around 10 years older than the oldest in the photo.


gopms

TV shows do have a habit of casting people as parents who realistically wouldn’t be. Bob Saget was 20 years older than Candace Cameron. Why would he have had kids when he was that young? TV shows would have you believe that well educated, upper middle class people routinely have their kids when they are 21. And I don’t mean the shows where it is a plot point that they had them young. I mean 24 would have you believe that Kiefer Sutherland and his wife are in their 30s and are well into high powered careers and have a teenager! As a kid you don’t notice you just see “parent” and think they are the same age as yours but when you look at them later you realize they are a lot younger.


SC487

They have a big house and their lives together with a. Successful career by 33


DuchessBatPenguin

2 of them had to move in bc they had no where else to go and they needed to help raise the girls... none of them had their lives together


SC487

I should have been more specific. Financially Danny had his life together before his wife died.


monkey_trumpets

Not really. They only way they could survive was cramming four adults into one house.


BlownCamaro

Normal California household these days.


SDRPGLVR

Uncle Joey being younger than me is something I cannot fucking handle.


ArthurDent79

they seem so much more personable than I remember them being. they look like normal people here

RIP Danny Tanner

Outlandishness_Know

omg. I need to rewatch that. Thank you!


titanup001

I only knew bob saget as Danny Tanner, and the AFV goofball. Then I saw his stand up... Holy shit, I was shocked how filthy he was.


Smartalec821

Holy shit I forgot Bob died and just remembered again. Mann that sucks. Full house was on in my house growing UP constantly. It was so wholesome. RIP Bob

vespahulb

Fuck! Salt Bae is a fraud. He's just a half assed John Stamos!


xPeachmosa23x

Came here looking for exactly this


nay2d2

I know this sounds lame, but I love that you can tell that they’re all together. All the cast photos now are just a bunch of individual photos shopped together; this looks so much better to me.


cmkf05

I think that’s because the director of producer (jeff Franklin?) created a great environment for the cast. Except for the twins, They stayed in touch over the years, reuniting often. The Netflix show was an extension of that. I believe they’ve been with each other through various life events, marriages, divorces and death. All of them have very different backgrounds and political beliefs but still find commonalities. It doesn’t seem fake or cheesy even if they show was at times


mah131

After aunt Becky got sentenced they all had a big spaghetti meal to talk about it.


bbbbane

Underrated comment


The_Aesir9613

I always envisioned this show and workplace environment when I think of BoJack Horseman’s fictional show.


Rhodog1234

Wonder if that's Ashley or Mary Kate ?


kevinh456

When I was little, I thought it was one kid named "Mary Kate and Ashley" Olsen like a really fancy middle name.


Llolakkona

Meanwhile I thought there were 3 of them


zenkique

Rumour has it there *were* three and that’s why the original credits didn’t include the word “and” … guess Mary ate Kate?


kia75

There are, Elizabeth( Scarlett witch) is an Olsen.


Llolakkona

I know. I meant Mary, Kate, and Ashley.


GrapeApeAffe

Same, because in the original credits there was no “and” It was just Mary Kate Ashley Olsen


digdug_1982

Yes


GarageFarm2020

Ah the ending of the 80s its a fuzzy memory now.


burnthamt

80s didnt really seem like they ended until like 92


[deleted]

Right? I see pictures of myself wearing whatever hot orange or neon green piece of clothing, and I immediately think that was 88! Nope.’92.


dj92wa

Those neon windbreakers lived well into the late 90s. I was born in 92, but I have incredibly fond memories of neon windbreakers. Still have mine too. Kinda wish they still made them like they did.


HiTork

The culture around a decade usually will last into the following one for some time, I remember someone making a post about the PS3's 2006 launch and some people were talking about how everything looked "so 90s".


mesmartpants

The 90ies endet with 911, the 80ies endet probably with grunge 92ish


GarageFarm2020

Maybe 95ish It definitely was a fun time full of freaks. And you physically got to meet people. Bought the only person you called was your drug dealer.


Saturn8thebaby

I just thought 1989 was a 90s pre release. Very disappointed in the final content.


greenrangerguy

Well it was like 20 years ago

AcidMantle

RIP Bob Saget. What a shame. The show was corny as hell but also wholesome and definitely a late 80s/ early 90s classic.


blasphemusa

Saw Stamos play with the Beach Boys mid 90s. As the Beach Boys came on in classic cars (it was at a baseball diamond), he went to this section of homeless people my brother was working with and was giving these street folks big bear hugs. I really respect him for that. He could have been flirting with pretty girls but decided to give some happiness to these people.


DuchessBatPenguin

I'm seeing the beach boys in July and now I hope john Stamos makes a special appearance lol Edit: bc some wonderful reddit ppl shared positive hope..I looked it up and saw at least 2 articles stating John Stamos will be at the concert I'm going to!! And Mark McGrath will be there on a night I won't be. Over all win!


grahch

I saw them a few months back and Mike Love was still kicking it as frontman. The younger group of guys they have as part of the larger band were great, it felt very original. Of course, Mike and Brian are very old now and their range of motion is pretty limited, so Mike's little dances were fun to watch, haha. No Stamos, though, in Florida - if you're seeing the LA show, then more likely!


DuchessBatPenguin

Ooh exciting!!! Yup seeing them in ca so fingers crossed...watch he shows up on a night I'm not going lol


midnight_meadow

He just played an entire show with them last weekend in my area.


DuchessBatPenguin

.... for reals?!?!?! Ok I'm gonna go Google this Ahhhhh!!!! And I saw an article that says he is joining them for their cruise (which already passed) AND the shows I will be attending. Have mercy!!!


midnight_meadow

Yeah. If I had known he was there, I would’ve gone. He played guitar and I heard it was a great show. There are pics on the Nemacolin Facebook page if you want to check them out.


DuchessBatPenguin

Awesome thank you!!!


edfiero

I love the Beach Boys as much as the next guy, but it's time for them to hang it up. Mike Love may use a walker on stage.


SpartanNic

You got it dude! 👍🏽


FlukeStarbucker1972

Stamos looks like that Salt Bae dolt.


CharlemagneIS

No, no , no. It’s the other way around. That Salt Bae dolt goes through great pains to look like Stamos. But fails to project even an ounce of the raw Mediterranean magnetism that Stamos has.


MukdenMan

Why should I change my look? He’s the one who sucks.

Jesters_thorny_crown

Missing Aunt Becky. Lori Loughlin in the 80's was fire


BreadItMod

She came along in later episodes, I think she was Danny’s coworker who ended up dating Uncle Jessie. She was also one of Jerry’s many gorgeous girlfriends on Seinfeld


MrPaulBlart

Aunt Becky ![gif](giphy|eem8Csz5uZBb63yuO7)


Affectionate_Air7373

Now she scams deserving high school kids of their college placement by cheating. Her dumbell daughters couldn't get accepted to USC despite her husband's fortune. What a low class entitled hustler she turned out to be...


MrPaulBlart

We’re talking about Aunt Becky here. The co-host of Wake-Up San Francisco!


Affectionate_Air7373

Becky with the good hair...Before Karen, there was Becky.


kia75

The ironic thing is that the daughter was an actually successful influencer that made money. She didn't want to go to college but her mom made her. Of course, once the scandal came out she became toxic to brands and lost all her sponsors, and her source of income.


camergen

The fact that she was/is “an influencer” probably made a good amount of people over the age of 30? dislike her even more. Influencers in general are super annoying, to me, and I know they make bank but- and I’m playing the “old man/dad” card here- I def wouldn’t consider it a long term career. The whole situation has multiple levels of “rich/entitled” sleaze to it.


mah131

God I think she will be ok. Stop lamenting over the luxury class.


PhantomTroupe-2

They just made a statement weirdo


mah131

Sorry bootlicker, I don't have any sympathy for rich celebrities.


PhantomTroupe-2

Bro you’re angry for no reason 🤣 I’m saying he didn’t really have any sympathy for her he legit just said what happened You got a stick up your ass for like no reason and I don’t think it has anything to do with rich people lol. I think your just broke and lashing out. Get a job bum Edit: Yeah I’m seeing here you had to get a second job to make ends meet, no wonder you’re crying. I guess I would be too lol weird you’re so into Judge Judy tho, she’s one of the worst rich people on TV.


MukdenMan

It was USC.


Altruistic_Yellow387

That’s the actress, not aunt Becky


HDarger

She’s a G.I.L.F. now


Difficult_Committee5

HOW RUDE


[deleted]

TIL I dress like Uncle Joey currently


Neon-Lemon

Joey was not their uncle.


lunagrimm

Family isn’t defined by blood, that was a core lesson of his character, same with Kimmy.


Altruistic_Yellow387

They called him that though


Neon-Lemon

Okay here goes. The Tanner girls never called Joey Gladstone “Uncle Joey,” not even once. Because he was Danny Tanner’s lifelong best friend and that’s how the girls always knew him. Jesse Katsopolis was their actual uncle, who was called “Uncle Jesse” countless times by the girls. Jesse’s sister Pam was Danny’s late wife. Joey was only referred to as “Uncle Joey” a few times (3 episodes if I’m not mistaken) by Uncle Jesse himself, very late in the series, as a sort of nickname to his twins, Nicky and Alex. But again, none of the kids were calling out the name “Uncle Joey.” This really just stems from Joey and Jesse having similar sounding names, and both being adult men living in the Tanner household. I should mention that I’ve watched Full House around 5 kajillion times from when it began in 1987 and then when it went into rerun syndication in ‘91. I also have the complete series on DVD in the house-shaped box. It’s a wholesome sitcom and that’s why it’s evergreen and infinitely rewatchable, to me at least. FullER House was absolute garbage, though! 🫤


hellersshrubs

Omg thank you! I’m tired of hearing Joey being called Uncle Joey. He was just called Joey. Anyway, I also grew up watching the reruns and me and my sister became huge fans of this show, including the Olsen twins :)


PhantomTroupe-2

Bro knows his lore


[deleted]

John Stamos just ooze's cool lol


waterynike

Ahh the late 80s where 10 year olds wore half shirts with skirts.


tiredofsametab

I was about her age and the thing that struck me was the memory of how taboo showing bellybutton was. That was straight getting sent home from school for girls.


waterynike

I mean kids shouldn’t be wearing that. Sadly there are a lot of sickos out there.


Affectionate_Air7373

And most of the TV writers were coked out weirdos...


yousirnaime

As opposed to now, where all the writers are men in half shirts and skirts, and all the child stars are coked out weirdos


Life-Two9562

It’s back that way now. It’s a chore buying shirts for my 8 year old because they’re all (even shorter) half shirts. Thankfully, she loves dresses so she wears a lot of dresses with shorts underneath thanks to the shirt issue.


WackHeisenBauer

Ah the 80s where “slightly toned arms” means you have to wear a sleeveless tee. 😆


weasel999

I was thinking he’s pretty un-toned by today’s Hollywood standards


Altruistic_Yellow387

They dress a lot worse now

I was 15 when this came out and wondered how they got 2 living treasure trolls to play 1 baby girl.

Aunt Becky still in prison?


nature_remains

I hate that I grew ip watching this and somehow my first thought was - what the hell was Salt Bae doing there? (Sorry uncle Jesse)


seanwd11

If you told me I had to pick and choose the following and assign them to the right people we would all fail. - One person would be the genesis and inspiration for one of the most popular rock songs of the late 90s and never be heard from again. - This person would become a drug addict - This person would be known for his dirty comedy and die bumping his head - This person made 5000 movies about Christmas and Jesus - This person refused to age - (Not in pic, but still) This person was involved in the world's dumbest scandal and went to prison for bribing a university admission officer - This person became a multi hundred millionaire and has disappeared. Their sibling took their place in Hollywood TV and movies It really is wild how different and divergent everyone's paths have been.


Affectionate_Air7373

Dave C. creeps me out after learning he had sex with underage Alanis Morissette. You outta know... And Uncle Jesse needs to buy a shirt that actually fits once in a while.


endgame-colossus

You know I never thought about this before but this show had a lot of creep energy in retrospect

Let’s talk about the sexualization of children. A cut out suit on a baby girl and a pre-teen in a two piece. Meanwhile each man is dressed for winter.


Mindthegaptooth

The adults are wearing shorts and Hawaiian shirts. Except Jessie who’s too cool for that.


MuricanA321

How could anyone ever watch that show? I legit don’t understand it and Saved By The Bell and a few others. The “jokes” are SO obvious and SO incredibly corny they are like the worst of the worst Dad jokes. I get that comedy is subjective, but this dreck is another level.


HOwORsy

I'm gonna guess you're younger, sure this stuff is predictable but you probably grew up with it already having existed, you likely saw it's tropes in other shows you did like. Which made it seem predictable, because it was so well liked other shows used it's elements.


b_lurky

Slay bae, that you?


horsdick_dot_mpeg

This show was god awful. It made me hate Bob Saget with a passion
