so algorithm is literally named after a guy, what are the chances there's also a mr.

@et @lritter who that

[et@mastodon.bayern]

@aeva @lritter This is Al. Or as his wife calls him: "Aaa-aal!"

[lritter@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@et @aeva aeva don't tell me you don't know the reactionary anti family sitcom "Married... With Children"? the *other* show that Family Guy stole from?

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@lritter @et I vaguely recall watching daytime reruns of it out of bored desperation sometime between 1999 and 2006, but like most things that I literally have not thought about in 20 years, the memories thereof have mostly been re-encoded down to a few vague impressions and a small collection of quasifactual fragments of information. For example, I know that this was a different show than "Everybody Loves Raymond", and this Not-Raymond was kind of an ass.

[lritter@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva @et that sums it up nicely

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@lritter @et I give it a 10% chance of having been the family sitcom with the beige muppet in it, but I'm reasonably sure it did not have Urkel in it.

[rygorous@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva @lritter the one with the beige muppet? you mean cheers?

[rygorous@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva @lritter oh sorry I meant Frasier

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@rygorous @lritter yeah! I think that's the one

[lritter@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva @rygorous there was so much beige back then.

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@lritter @rygorous kinda like how everything was brown in the 80s. I wonder if this trend coincides with the decline of smoking

[rygorous@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva @lritter It does not. (Source: I grew up in Germany which only enacted a smoking ban in public closed spaces mid-2008.) And our 90s were just as neon-infused as yours
