Come on, man. All you have is a simple common cold. Oh, common . Simple . Dont you realize i am not the common man. I am a martian. My system is not prepared for this. Ahchoo. My favorite martian only lasted a few year ins in the 1960s. By the 1970s, We Saw A Nostalgia Take over from sciencefiction. Gary marshal, the Executive Producer of Happy Days was a fan of my favorite martian. He says i think there should be an alien on Happy Days. All of a sudden, a young man very quiet and shy.

Theyre black. What happened . I reprogrammed their genes. Mork and mindy was splexplos and surpassed everybodys expectations because it felt original. I never thought i would do sitcom but it was that captivating idea, for aliens came on a Research Mission trying to figure out how to be human. Got ten fingers and 11 toes. Checked. I guess we are in. Everyone comfortable . I have three holes in my face. They were looking for an actor who was a combination of flynn and bugs bunny. John lithco, here he is displaying what turned out to be his deliciously goofy side. Look, theyre cleaning each other. We were a whole school of fish out of water.

Could you direct me to Mockingbird Lane . You sort of see them have this conflict and help us understand our culture better. That in the 60s what was going on in the country where a lot of people had a lot of issues of who was living next door to who. It was a nice neighborhood until they moved in. We were like the family that you didnt want to have move into the block. I saw the munsters as the black people and i thought i like this. This is good. Uncle herman. I would like you to meet my date. Oh, uncle herman. Whats the matter with me anyway . Back then t , The World was bubling up for a change. I wish the producer could cast black people, they had to go with real monsters which is deepening itself. Joe collier and mueller created the monster. They really wanted to keep this kind of mold of the Family Sitcom but marry it to something new and strange marilyn, take the chicken to thekitchen. Looks good to me. It was perfect.

Monster shows up to play golf, if he does not turn out to be all idea of human being, i will throw him out. Country club are very like, certain people were not allowed him and certain religions. Oh. Oh. Did i make it . The munsters are striving to be accepted. As they say in golf, eddie, you got to play them where you hit them. I dont think the Adams Family cares. The Theme Song was great. The Adams Family was Comic Strip by charles adam. That doll does not have a hand. Grandma ma told us about the Frh Revolution and they chopped off their head. Theyre not striving to be like the typical american family. We have ourselves peculiar neighbor. Only one thing to do. Get rid of them. I have not used this beauty since the Tax Math Lab was here. The Adams Family has a complete different values that are real to them that dont align with anything else in The World. Do you remember our honeymoon .

Everyone can relate to wanting that magic in their lives. Be hold. Sitcom is about magic, becoming really popular in the 1960s television. You are getting this Babb Lash to the show in the 50s. The boomers are not interested in the culture they grew up in. They want change. Feminism is rising. And bewitched capture that. I wish i had a drink. And a straw . The premise of bewitched is this executive from new York City Falls Madly in love with a woman who can do magic you are a witch. Thats what i have been trying to tell you. It could be a typical suburban family except for the fact that her entire family are witches. And they have one adorable little girl. Oh. Her power is amazing despite the fact that shes a product of a mixed marriage. I wanted to be invisible like her. Pop from one side to the other. These ladies are magic and their husbands want them to hide it. Darian refers i dont do that stuff anymore. Shes magic. Young man mother, dont just consider yourself lucky that you are not at the moment an artichoke. You can watch that show as a minority and identify how she feels she has to hide apart of herself and you look at Paul Lynn as Uncle Arthur where a lot of the Lbgtq Community say i see myself in that character. You can see a lot of early touch drones for drag. Dont you realize you are under a spell . That was ground breaking. Samantha was not defined by her super natural powers. She was defined by her humanity. That picture is feoffensive. Do you think thats how i look . Why did you do it . Thats the why most people think most witches look. Is that any reason to discriminate the Minority Group . What Minority Group . Witches. They put abc on the map. It was nbcs Number One series. Nbc wanted to do a witch show. I dream of genie, he found a bottle and he rubbed it and of course there is a genie. The only way to understand I Dream Of Genie is to see the backlash in the real world. You could not do it in today. The cultural appropriation, the ma masagyny. But, the 70s. It brought a different sophistication to television. It so magic largely disappears in the late 70s and 80s. It is a calderon. Oh, there are two rounds. The natural and the super natural. It turns out you are a witch. Sabrina, the teenage witch, she finds out that shes a witch. Lets start with the basics. She was a lot like teenagers in a way where she did not feel confident or empowered. Apple. Pineapple. Thats very close. No, it is not. Her aunts are looking after her and the cat is looking after her. Sabrina is on her own. I am the wrong witch to ask. Sentenced to 100 years. I love the cat and i love the idea of a 90s Club talking cat. The only thing that makes me feel truly alive. It was my version of bewitched. Thats how i grew up. If we cant make kind of gig, who will we make fun of . Hi sabrina. Super freak. You want to see an outsider who has secret Power Cutting to everyones nonsense.

Every week no matter what shows you are watching, there are Pressure Relief bells that go off. And you see that play out throughout the history of the sitcom. At first thought, you may imagine 1948s sitcoms being white suburbia. There is a lot of shows of immigrants becoming apart of The American dream. I remember the norwegian family. The goldberg was about a jewish family. It mirrors what americans were trying to establish for good or bad which is a simulation. Later when immigrant characters would pop up in comedies tell me something. How come i never understand a single word you say and i always know what you are talking about. I think everybody thought andy is nuts. Yaeah, that must be it. I dont think anybody believes that he was seeing individual. Thats beautiful. Otherwise, they shoot you. You know anything about bisexuals . When we are not using them, we have special racks chaining them up at night. I am not talking about bicycles, i am talking about bisexuals. Larry appleton . Thats me. They both came up from Madeup Country so they can have the most outlandish traditions. They can get away with a lot more as outsiders. I see so we are related by rumor. The two of perfect strangers were incredibly production team. They been in the olympics in 84 and they said we love the spirit of people Coming To America and loving it and so we want to do a show about innocent whos making his way in america . We learn something only in america. You know in order to do that, we have to squeeze the front. In some way it is like oh, that silly balky, it allows you to see yourself. When i nod my head, you hit it. Come again . When i nod my head, you hit it. Dont make this complicated. I will hold the wrench. You got the hammer. When i nod my head, you hit it. The blind leading the blind is how we describe it. Ready . Yes. [ sobbing ] it was a time where republican politics embracing immigrants. Signal, signal. There are people that really do feel marginalized to get the marginalized kyle character. Take it, take it. Every kid from the age of 2 or whatever would come over and they would hug me. I was one of them and they got it. That was one of the great, great treats of that show. Now we are so happy.

It is kind of like defining the experience of being 14, 15 or 16. This youngeraudience, they have been under served by primetime tv. In the 90s, networks start to put teenagers and what they want front and center. The time was right to tell a story about blossom because there was a vacuum of young Girls Point of views. My Best Friend told Me William Zimmerman is interested in me. Why would he not be interested in me . I am smart and i am funny, i have got the body of a 13yearold girl. Shes not the best looking girl in class but certainly one of the brightest. Oh my gosh, you dont suppose this means the girl with good personality. That was one of the points of blossom. Theyre saying you may not be a popular person or a cheerleader but we are all a little different and quirky. Saved by the bell is all about the kids and their World Screech is just weird. Whatever you are doing, dont. With the shift towards teenage in a sitcom, you see the nerd. Lisa, my horoscope says we dance together. My horoscope says be ware of dorks. It takes him from a car carricuture. And carleton is the first black nerd. I always love carlton, just the way he was true to himself. Go carlton a lot of these outside characters, geeks are becoming more and more part of the national conversation. Geeks is a push back against the Cookie Cutter characters, typical Teens Sitcom of that era. I am sick of being called a geek. Whats so geeky about us anyway . We are just guys. We are going to have fun on thursday night. Paul handed me the script of Freaks And Geeks. I loved it before i opened it up. I thought it was the best title. A girl in our school had premarital sex. You know what she did on Graduation Day . Died,over dosed. Paul thought he would never see a the good and the really ugly. Nice threads. Nice voice. Freaks and geeks is about two groups of friends, a geek group. That looks like you. The people that most Tv Shows ignore, the nerds and the pot he heads. I understand us just been through puberty and you dont think anyone understands. A lot of people do. Even mr. Alice cooper. At the time it was unusual to have an hour long comedy. You know this song . I am 18, i get confused everyday everybody can relate to what it feels like to be an outsider some way or another. Cant believe shes going to hang out with us. What if i am asleep right now and this is a dream and any moment that mory and i are going to make love. Ew. What are we doing here . In 1999, it was a different world. It was snuffed out after one season. Lindsey, lindsey, wait. I got this for you. It is chocolate for your sweet trip. Thank you, neil. It is nice. All right, i will see you. I think it is okay because we are able to remember Freaks And Geeks as an all time depiction of High School lives because it was killed before it could age and wither. vo at tmobile for business, unconventional thinking means we see things differently, so you can focus on what matters most.

We live in an age now where being nerdy and being super geeky about something is cool. Thats not really your logo, is it . It looks like a Guy Sucking A [ bleep ] and hes got another behind his ear. But that was not the case decades ago, and i think the sitcom had a large part in pushing Geek Culture to the forefront. [ crickets ] [ laughter ] hi, mr. Winslow. Im steve urcle. Family matters was set in chicago and it was about the winslow family. Hello, ladies. I thought wed all do our homework together. And they had this really annoying neighbor steve urcle. When i went to audition, i was just supposed to be a day player. Thats it. I brought the glasses. They belonged to my father. He gave me his glasses and they just kind of wobbled on my face. I hear you cant get a date for the dance. [ laughter ] so you wanna go with me . Shed rather eat worms. K, some other time then. He was so quirky and so odd but he was so beloved. He loves poker, he loves cheese. Got any cheese . [ laughter ] he had the dancing and did i do that . [ laughter ] did i do that . He really sort of took over the series. A lot of people feel awkward. So, in the weirdest way, he instilled selfpride in other people. Its like, hey, that guy can be awkward, go after the girl of his dreams and share what hes about with others. So whatd you invent this time . Well, youll see. [ Farting Noise ] [ laughter ] in our neighborhoods where you had to be such a tough guy when youre outside your house, this was the character that you get to be when youre with Family Members and friends and you can be your goofy Self And Dance around. Steve urcle made the statement that we can be whatever we want. I played bruce lee. I played elvis. Albert einstein. [ laughter ] the evolution of the nerd in sitcoms is an interesting one to watch because we went from Urcle And Screech that are like the Joke Character on their respective shows to something like big Bang Theory where you have a group of nerds who are the stars of the show. Math Science History unraveling the mystery it all started with a Big Bang Guys who were very childlike. Smell that . Thats the smell of new comic books. [ laughter ] oh, yes. Sheldon played so wonderfully by jim parsons, injected this humanant into him. You care a lot about sheldon. Hes sort of the hero in a weird way. What are you doing . Same thing ive been trying to do thing days, trying to figure out electrons when traveling through a graphine sheet. These characters want to be included. And then theres the very beautiful penny who lives across the hall from sheldon and leonard. Welcome to the building. Oh, thank you. Maybe we can have coffee some time. Great. Great. Great.

She eventually became sheldons love interest, and of course that opened up a whole other pandoras box. May i ask you a question before i give it to you . [ laughter ] of course. Why are we saying give it to you like that . At the beginning, sheldon is an outcast and intellectual, a geek. By the end, hes found his soulmate. He has friends, hes won a nobel prize. I have been encouraged, sustained, inspired, and tolerated not only by my wife but by the greatest group of Friends Anyone ever had. This show stayed on forever. Its huge. And theyre nerds. We started to see articles written about how young people were going into s. T. E. M. Fields in school because the big Bang Theory made it look cool. I need to get to here. Whats there . The earliest estimate of the singularity. So, youre upset about missing out on becoming some sort of freakish Selfaware Robot . By this much. [ laughter ] it used to be chic to be normal and regular, but now it its very chic to be an outsider. The outsider is this Oddball Character that just comes in and gets to throw fastballs. The fish out of water works because everybody really does feel out of Place Part of their lives. Whats going on . I dont know. I looked around the room and i saw all the faces and the presents. It was just too much. Its in the nature of comedy that you provide an audience, an object of identification. There was a time i never wouldve been friends with someone like you, and now you are one of my favorite people. So, if what you need is to spend your birthday in a bathroom, im happy to do it with you. And you make people laugh not only at you but at themselves. Everyone will think im weird.
