As we were watching 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.920 the After Shocks episode, we realized that because we were 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.320 so young at the time of filming, we still have 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.560 a lot of questions that we need help answering. This 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.480 episode is arguably one of the most important in Full 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.679 House history. It was telecast less than two months after 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:09.280 the real life Loma Prieta earthquake, which wrecked havoc upon 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:13.800 San Francisco on October seventeenth, nineteen eighty nine. It registered 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.160 as a six point nine magnitude on the Richter scale 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:19.720 and caused the death of sixty three people, with thousands 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:23.480 more injured. And over five billion dollars in property damage. 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.400 The collapse of a section of the double decker Nimitz 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.520 Freeway in Oakland was the site of the largest number 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:33.039 of casualties, and boy, I can remember watching that newscast 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:37.120 and that's just a haunting image from that time. To 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.000 help us unpack what kind of discussions were taking place 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.760 behind the scenes in the writer's room during this time, 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.000 we have invited none other than Full House creator Jeff 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.360 Franklin to the podcast today.

So 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.480 we wanted to talk to you today about what it 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:59.320 was like in nineteen eighty nine. October seventeenth, nineteen eighty nine, 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:03.360 is when the real San Francisco earthquake happened. And it 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.520 was a huge deal. I know, at least in southern California. 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.000 It was all over the news, and I'm pretty sure nationwide. 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.720 I mean nationwide, it was. It was quite a huge 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:12.520 and natural disaster. 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:18.280 It was. It was major. I think sixty sixty or 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:22.039 seventy people died during that. Yeah, like three or four 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:27.320 thousand people were injured. Yeah, both thousand people were homeless. 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:30.560 The part of the upper deck of the Bay Bridge collapsed. 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:33.640 I mean, it was all over the news. It was 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:38.200 a six point nine earthquake. And it also happened the 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.839 Giants were in the World Series and it was yeah 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:42.400 three of the World Series. 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:45.680 And that's right. And yeah, so what time does any 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:47.200 what time was the earthquake? 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:48.000 It was during the day. 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.640 It was in the five o'clock hour, Okay, but I 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.120 don't know exactly what that's because in the middle of 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:54.440 the game. 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:55.960 It was in the middle. What was in the middle 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.440 of the game? I remember, and it was it was, 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:04.960 but it was shower because we have had, you know, 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:10.239 knock on everything, the fortune of in southern California, several 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:14.640 of our larger earthquakes have been very very early morning 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:16.760 for five o'clock in the morning, not a lot of 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:18.800 people on the road, not a lot of people out 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:22.040 at work like it has been. We've been fortunate in 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.960 that regard. And this was not that. This was this 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:29.400 was definitely travel time, and it was it was really 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:33.240 hugely scary. Were we on set when that happened or 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:35.720 was it for one of the after shocks, because I 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.280 remember being on set it was. 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:40.640 I think it was a I don't know why. I 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:44.920 think it was a weekday. Yeah, I think we. 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:51.080 Were, because I seem to remember us being there, and 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.560 I remember it was when Perfect Strangers was shooting in 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.599 the stage across from us, and I remember going out 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.400 that big elephant door of the stage, or it probably 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:03.719 wasn't open at the time, but that that end of 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:07.880 the stage and like everybody kind of after everything stopped shaking, 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:11.200 you know, because you're under like I was, say, it's 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.640 terrifying to be on stage, particularly back then, under all 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:18.280 of those huge lights and all of that equipment and 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.560 all that stuff. You know, you have everyone kind of 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.120 runs out to the audience. 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:29.680 Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's scary to think that you 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.280 know that that could have happened anytime in Los Angeles 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:34.800 as well, and in fact, the yeah, we had a 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:43.080 really bad one. But it was, as you said, yeah, 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:47.839 it's a big deal. And you know, because our show 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:53.160 is set in San Francisco, it just seemed to just 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.920 like we want to completely ignore. 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.680 It, right, There was no way to be like anyway, yeah, 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.960 like it would be weird. 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.760 Jay's got is it this week? Let's talk about right, right? 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:05.880 Right? 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:12.600 Yeah, yeah, so we wanted to. What was interesting about 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.120 it to me was, yeah, I mean it was certainly 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:21.800 frightening for everyone, no doubt, but especially for children. And uh, 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.160 and so that you know, this is a show that 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:28.960 obviously deals with parenting and children's problems, you know, every week. 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:34.600 So it was, uh, it seemed like a you know, 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:39.320 like something we should address. And it was also it 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:43.920 was also oddly personal for me the way the story evolved, 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.240 because you know, I wanted to I've been wanting to 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:51.680 do a story about you know, these are these these dads, 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:55.760 even though they're sort of clueless, always seemed to end 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.600 up doing the right thing and instinctively know how to 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:03.360 how to solve kids problems. And uh so I've been 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:09.640 wanting to find a story where Danny, who is, you know, 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:13.760 the most experienced parental figure on the show, you know, 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:18.160 has no idea what to do about some problem with 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.360 the kids. And so this sort of love that this 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:28.040 presented itself as sort of the perfect episode about that 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:34.160 about that storyline. So Stephanie is is freaked out about 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:40.240 after the earthquake and will not tell Danny why, and 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.880 and probably is it fully aware at age eight of 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:45.720 why she's so freaked out. 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.760 You know, that would make I mean, that happens so often, 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:54.240 any sort of trauma, upheaval, anything like that, anything that 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:58.320 scares kids oftentimes all of a sudden, their behavior, well 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.240 vert they will you know, all of the things that 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.960 steph you know, clean angry, scared, all of those sorts 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.520 of things, but they don't even know why, like what happened. 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.920 They're like, I don't know, everything's fine, but I don't 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:10.800 think everything's fine. 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.440 One it's clearly not right, you know, and this actually 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.920 really struck a chord with me because I, you know, 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:23.400 I also experienced a really horrible childhood trauma myself when 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:27.640 I was four years old, and that was back in nineteen, 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.160 you know, in the late fifties, and you know, child 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.959 therapy was pretty non existent at that RT. 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.080 There were no child no it was like, you'll be fine, 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.240 you're a kid, You'll forget it. You'll yeah, you'll just 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:40.839 shove that down like the rest of us. 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:46.320 It looks, you know, and I had no ability to 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.880 deal with it. You know. My my parents put me 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:54.079 in therapy finally, but there was child therapy, so they 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:57.559 took me to an adult therapist who was a Freudian 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:58.480 therapist who had. 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.800 All right, so you were like, talk about your mother, yeah, 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:05.920 the year old guy dreams. 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.719 Yeah, You're like, this is not it, this is not 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.440 And that went on for four years, not for four 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:18.680 minutes like we did in the episode. But so anyway, 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.079 it felt, you know, it felt personal to me. I 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.280 you know, I knew what, you know, firsthand, what it's 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:28.199 like to be a kid and not be able to 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:33.000 talk about what's wrong, what happened. So it was you know, 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.240 It was a really important episode for me personally that 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:40.000 we got to do that. And you know this, it 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:44.640 sort of flipped in the episode because uh, Jesse and 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.480 Joey were actually intelligent for for a minute. 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:52.199 Here we have their moments, you know they do every 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:53.679 once in a while they'll shine through. 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.319 Wow. Yeah, they were really the adults in this one 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.000 telling Danny you know, it's okay, it's all right. If 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.040 you can't solve every problem, go get some help. 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.080 That was really powerful too. 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:06.559 That was so huge and so important. 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.120 Yeah, to say, hey, you're not a failure as a 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.560 parent because you don't know what's wrong with your kid. 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:14.439 If you love your kid, you want to give them 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.800 help that you buy like that is so powerful. 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.280 And of course we you know, we have that attitude 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:24.120 about anything you know, physical that's wrong with kids. This 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:27.240 is course taking the doctor a while, but we don't 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:31.559 always think, you know, if it's an emotional problem or 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:36.040 mental problem that we that that's we need to go 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:40.040 find a professor. It's great now that there's so you know, 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:44.400 the I think the stigma has you know, has really 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.160 come off of that. You know, I think I think 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:51.959 it's a different time now and parents are more open 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:56.560 to seeking help and there's far more options available. Yeah, 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.719 so you know, but back then it was it was 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:01.040 that was not the case. 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.760 Yeah, I had no idea that this was so personal 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:09.400 for you. And I love that that it really was 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.640 something that you had wanted to do and that this 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:15.360 was just sort of the thing that presented itself, because 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:17.800 you know, you're right, it is. It's easy to watch 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:19.680 a show and be like, man, these people know everything 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.400 and they've never even had kids, you know, like they're 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:28.679 just sailing right along, and and it just really humanized 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:33.280 the story for both Danny and Staff in that they 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:36.920 were both struggling and didn't know quite how to handle it, 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.880 and like that's okay that you know, it's sometimes you 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:40.679 just don't know. 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.959 Yeah, And it was fun that Danny was so I 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.160 was so happy that, you know, to have Stephanie's full 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.839 attention for a minute, right, that's flattering for him. So 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.760 he was, you know, right the beginning, it's like, oh, 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.440 this is great. I don't know why this is happening. 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:01.839 Great, And that happens right somebody's like, oh my god, 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.040 they're suddenly they're so like cuddly and they just want 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.920 to be here. And you're like, yeah, but they aren't always. 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:10.840 That way, so that's yeah, what made you choose Stephanie 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:14.240 to write this episode about instead of DJ or Michelle? 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.719 I think she was just the for so she was 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:23.880 sort of the right age, you know to internalize the 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:27.520 danger sort of. Uh sall was still a little young, 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.599 and DJ was a you know, pretty together kid and 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:36.959 maybe you know, wouldn't have reacted so emotionally about it, 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.600 able to talk about it easier, So that just seemed 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:45.400 to make sense, And it also is more. It's also 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:50.520 was powerful because Stephanie is so you know, it's just 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:54.640 such a smart, together kid that you know that it 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.800 was more poignant. I thought to have Stephanie haves to 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:02.079 deal with this. What was obviously writing underneath this episode 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.760 is you know the fact that she's already lost one 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:10.520 parent and all those fears you know about if something 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:14.120 happened to my dad. You know, we're so much more triggering, 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.360 right a kid who only has one, you know, one 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:21.760 parent left. So that we didn't really make the I 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:23.960 didn't want to make the episode about that because it 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.680 was strong enough without it. I felt, right we had 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:30.120 kind of gone to the the dead mom. Well, you 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:33.360 know a few times recently, Right, you don't want to, 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:35.720 you know, keep going there every week. 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:39.920 You know, the right, Yeah, well we're Stephan therapy for 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.560 longer than four minutes. I'm sure that that would be 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.880 to get addressed, that would get brought up. But but yeah, 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:47.640 I mean that, and that was but it was you 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.160 didn't have to say it, but it was so present 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:55.320 in the episode of both Danny's enjoyment of being you know, 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.720 because he's the only parent, so that sort of has shifted, 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.280 so he likes all the attention and and you know, 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.160 it's been so many things going on in this family's 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:10.480 life that like you just know that of course now 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:12.720 with dad not and when you find out that he 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.680 wasn't home for three hours and you know, again in 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:20.040 the days before cell phones, yeah, no where anybody was 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:26.080 so in between you know, getting home and whatever it was, 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:29.440 you didn't know where people were and where parents were. 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:33.560 And that was terrifying. And yeah, that made such a 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.000 It's just so clicked when she was like, you're you 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:37.680 weren't home. We didn't know where you were, and it 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:39.720 was like, oh my god. Of course Steph's like, is 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:40.520 dad gone too? 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.080 I think there were Patres in those days, weren't there. 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.560 I was watching the show and I was thinking, one 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.520 of this, why didn't we just have Stephanie. 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:01.800 Get There were, but I think they were. It was 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:05.200 like we were still in the era of like doctors 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:08.320 had pagers, doctors and drug pretty much, you know what 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.040 I mean, like you you didn't have like it wasn't 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.080 like high schoolers had pagers yet. I feel like that 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.680 was my like high school era sort of nineties, but 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.360 like this, the pagers were probably you know, would have 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:23.400 been the size of a of a VHS tape that 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.760 you had to wear, like in a special pack I'm 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:26.400 sure at. 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:29.880 That time, but it was it's not a fanny packet. 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:32.200 Yeah, it was like the cell phones, but it was 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.280 like just a satellite phone like the you know, Diehard 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:38.240 or whatever. They're carrying it on their shoulder. But yeah, 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.520 that I think it was. We were in the age 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:47.080 before immediate gratification of knowing where someone is or being 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:50.280 able to respond quickly, right right. 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.760 Yeah, I mean I'm kind of I'm kind of glad 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:59.640 we did the show back in that age because yeah, 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.120 you know, we did four House in the age of 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:07.359 social media, and it's it's stressful. 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:07.639 You know. 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.520 On the one hand, it's great publicity, you know, and 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:16.840 it's right, it's instantaneous, and you know, you can publicize 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.120 the show in a whole different way than you could 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:24.520 back then. But you know, it's great that I didn't 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:28.080 have to read comments, you know, go down, go down. 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.840 Yeah no, it never never read the comments, never comments 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:32.440 that idea. 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:35.360 Yeah, it was really and I didn't know how good 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:35.760 we had it. 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:40.720 But right now what bleet. The show takes place. It's 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:44.800 like two weeks I think after the earthquake has happened, 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.359 and Kimmy has been staying at the house because there 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.760 was some damage to her room and things like that. 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:51.720 So we kind of set it up. But was it 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:55.680 I mean obviously intentional that you didn't you were like, 0:17:55.840 --> 0:18:01.040 let's not recreate an earthquake, but to make it to 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.280 where there was enough time that the house looked normal, 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:07.520 so it wasn't like so jarring in that respect, or 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:09.600 were you like, we should try that and then you 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.040 maybe try to adjust as you went such. 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:14.600 A big event and we got the show shot so 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.639 fast and on the air. I think it aired maybe 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:23.119 three or three weeks after the earthquake. You know, it 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:24.120 was unreally fast. 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:26.960 It was less than so yeah, yeah, a couple of months, 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:28.800 five or six weeks. 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:33.600 We didn't want to, you know, traumatize people away work. 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:38.200 That's a good point, you know, And they're not funny, 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:42.600 although I didn't earning Suley episode about an earthquake, which 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:46.520 was which was which we did make funny, but yeah, 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:51.240 but yeah, I think we just wanted to remind everybody 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:56.040 that there was an earthquake and then just tell a story. Yeah. Yeah, 0:18:56.200 --> 0:19:01.840 So the Kimmy staying there was just the fun advice 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:06.240 or device to get to get that backstory out and 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:09.920 to have her living there, of course is always right fun. 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:15.760 Did you approach Janice or Jody about because this was 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:17.560 this was a pretty heavy episode, so I don't know 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.040 if you talked to Jody about this or Janis about 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:21.480 kind of the sensitivity of it. 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:25.800 Probably didn't talk to Jody about it. Now, I would 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:29.600 have talked to Janice, you know, I don't remember any details, 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:32.320 but you know, I would have. I would have. It 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:35.320 was my practice always talk to the parents if there 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:38.480 was something, you know, if it was a heavy episode, 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:40.879 and just make sure that you know that they were 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:43.159 okay with it, and there's nothing I should know, and 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:45.879 you know, is this a good idea? Just kind of 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:48.280 just you know, I always had those meetings. 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:52.760 We appreciate that as as former child actors and as 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.800 adults now. And we've heard that doesn't that didn't happen 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:59.520 on every show, Like we've heard stories about how child 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:01.639 actors were have to do these really embarrassing things and 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:05.359 the writers like whatever, like there was no consent involved 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:08.360 with that, So I really we just really appreciate that, yeah, 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:11.399 or consideration. Yeah, you always were very good at that, 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:12.280 and I'm for you. 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:16.480 Guys threw enough embarrassing moments, that's the least, you. 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:18.440 Know what A lot of that though, Jeff was just 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:20.920 the eighties. It was just an embarrassing time for everyone. 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:23.720 I've got pictures of all of us with some hair 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.760 that we'd rather forget, so it's it was the time. 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:28.879 Yeah, okay, thank you. 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:34.840 Does anyone remember the viewer response to this episode was 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:38.000 obviously was too young, so I don't remember. 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:43.320 I mean, you know, the only response we really got 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:47.400 was first of all, the taping where the response. I mean, 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:51.359 those those tapings were always fun. I mean, nobody was 0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:54.800 ever mad at the shows, so right, but it was 0:20:55.880 --> 0:21:00.080 but I can tell when an audience is engaged and 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:05.240 involved into the story, and you know, so you get 0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:08.080 the immediate feedback when we take the show. There were 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:11.440 some reviews of the episode that were surprised, you know 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:14.920 that we're nobody was hating on it because. 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:18.680 They were surprisingly good because we never got those yeah. 0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:22.399 I mean, yeah, they let us off you know, the 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:25.399 hook on that one, so you know, and they like, 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:30.479 I think those special episodes we did. You know, all 0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:32.399 the shows would sort of do one or two of 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:36.879 those a season, it felt like. But but we you know, 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:40.680 I remember that we did get We did a couple. 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:42.639 We did a couple of them that season, and they 0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:47.680 all turned out pretty well, and we ended up getting 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:51.320 some really nice reviews and we ended up That was 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:55.520 the year that Tom Bradley, who was the mayor of LA. 0:21:55.640 --> 0:22:00.200 Declared that's right at city all. 0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:01.600 Yeah, we got to go down there. 0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:05.280 And you still have that hanging in your in your hallway, 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:08.280 don't you?

And why 0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:21.560 is it not a national yet. That's my question, Jeff, 0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:24.960 and a paid national holidays.
