Full House was really popular at that time. Married with Children wanted what Full House had.

Those shows were made when society loved children. It was a ratings draw. Now society hates children so there’s a lot less of them on television.

Family matters had those two kids that got demoted after several episodes. Sexy, tight outfits were the draw for married with children andvyhe Nikki cox show.

>he doubled down on being a dumb fuck
it was very 'popular', it just wasn't well received by audiences.
>people like the idea of kids
>lets put kids in our show
>but let's make them a prop that just spews the same sarcastic lines as everyone else just in a kid voice
the main difference is that hollywood wasn't so far up their ass to tell people "if you don't like the kid don't watch the show" yet

You’re just saying words at this point and throwing definitions to the wind kek
>”nuh-uh it WAS popular!”
>”it’s just that a vast majority people didnt like it even though it was popular!”
Words mean things, you do know that right? I know there are some real spergs on this website but the idea that someone would need this concept explained to them is pretty fucking hilarious.
