Bob Saget's full house

As a child, I watched a number of what I now consider bad TV shows. I still watch some of these every now and then for nostalgia. These shows included Step by Step, Family Matters, Saved by the Bell, and Boy Meets World. But perhaps my favorite of these shows was Full House. I used to dream of being on the show and becoming best friends with Stephanie. The shows saccharine quality did not bother me as a kid, but as an adult, it leaves me with a bittersweet feeling (such as with the awful 7th Heaven.)

Which is why, in the last few years, I have become a Bob Saget fan, especially after The Aristocrats. Half of why he is so funny to me is because of his crudeness after his years of playing the dad-next door on television.

So when Patrick informed me that Bob Saget would be playing at the Comedy Connection, I jumped at the chance to see him. Of course, the show was crude as promised, although not as crude as I expected after The Aristocrats. While it was very disconcerting to see the TV dad I had watched for so many years cursing every other sentence, and talking about sex and drugs, it was an extremely funny show. I will never be able to watch Full House in the same way again, and I have Bob Saget to thank for that.
