| 2528 | Article | Hoju Koolander | The greatest reveal you provided for me was the Dennis the Menace and Phil Hartman connection. I used to watch that cartoon all the time, but I never realized the same actor I enjoyed as Cap'n Karl on The Pee-Wee Herman show/Pee-Wee's Playhouse was voicing Mr. Wilson! The error on the Ghostbusters fact threw me for a second, but it did remind me that in an interview with Ernie Hudson, who played Winston in the movies, he said that he auditioned for the role on the cartoon, but the part went to Arsenio instead. Isn't that crazy? | Aug 16, 2015 |  | |
| 2548 | Article | Vaporman87 | I absolutely picked up on this phenomena, even in my youth. This was especially prevalent when stations would air back-to-back episodes from completely different seasons. The characters would seem totally out of whack. This was such a fun read. I liked this line: "Sure, he won, but that's not really something that should boost the kid's confidence, y'know? It's like giving People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive cover to the St. Bernard from the Beethoven movies." Sometimes the character development would go in a different direction too. Maybe a character would become more bossy or become the "leader". Sometimes one character would begin to become the focus of the show, leaving other characters with the crumbs. These types of blatant changes would sometimes annoy me. Other times, it might seem to suit the direction of the show. I suppose the cast and crew of a show don't really know what the audience will respond to better until it's been on the air for a while. And then they attempt to adjust things to suit what they believe is the desire of the consumer. All part of showbiz. | Sitcom Characters Who Got Stupid | Aug 20, 2015 | |
| 2549 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 Yeah, that different seasons in sucession situation was a great way to notice those changes. The other scenario is when the breakout character takes over the show, like Urkel or The Fonz or when they ditched the main character siblings on California Dreams and made Sam, the exchange student the main character. | Sitcom Characters Who Got Stupid | Aug 21, 2015 | |
| 2551 | Article | Mr Magic | Let's not forget Joey Gladstone from Full House. There are times when he isn't smart or doesn't dress smart either. It's the cartoon he's been watching. When they say cartoons will rot your brain, they ain't kiddin'. | Sitcom Characters Who Got Stupid | Aug 21, 2015 | |
| 2552 | Article | pikachulover | George Costanza; when the series began he was pretty witty and clever, but he still had his schemes like in the episode "The Stake Out" This is the episode when he invents the alias Art Vandelay. Then think about a later episode in the series like "The Abstinence". Where you would watch it and think "How does this character even live?" | Sitcom Characters Who Got Stupid | Aug 21, 2015 | |
| 2554 | Article | comic_book_fan | you forgot Erick Mathews from bmw | Sitcom Characters Who Got Stupid | Aug 21, 2015 | |
| 2555 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @thecrow174 Really, Joey? Of all the adult characters, i found him to be the most consistent, but he did start out kind of goofy. Jesse on the other hand really took a dive though by the end, where everything was about "the hair". @pikachulover Yeah, the whole Seinfeld cast got pretty out there by the end, I guess having Kramer in the mix made George's decline less noticeable. @comic_book_fan So did Erik's hair get floppier or shorter by the end? I have to imagine there is a correlation there. | Sitcom Characters Who Got Stupid | Aug 21, 2015 | |
| 2557 | Article | Mr Magic | It was Kimmy who was the dumb one, not Joey. | Sitcom Characters Who Got Stupid | Aug 22, 2015 | |
| 2558 | Article | Vaporman87 | I don't know how much truth there is to it, but it seems like, if memory serves, that Justine Bateman's character on Family Ties got a bit less intelligent as the show progressed. Particularly when she was joined by the reoccurring boyfriend (whose name escapes me... Nick maybe?). | Sitcom Characters Who Got Stupid | Aug 22, 2015 | |
| 2559 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | Cool article, but no Joey Tribbiani? In the early days of Friends they didn't make him out to be stupid at all. He was more naïve then really stupid. | Sitcom Characters Who Got Stupid | Aug 23, 2015 | |
