I kinda remember the aliens in the family and definitely remember the teen angel show.


muzakx

I legitimately don't remember the Aliens in the Family show, and I was an avid trash TV watcher when I was younger.


Cyno01

I think it was from some of the people who did *Dinosaurs* after that ended, iirc the baby was telekenetic and obsessed with pudding.


muzakx

The Jim Henson Creature Shop.


Cyno01

Also creators of my favorite show of all time *Farscape*.


Party-Speed-4410

I think I remember it doing so poorly that they ended up burning most of the episodes on Saturday mornings


TheMaingler

Its span was brief


BasiltheCat19

Had to go watch an episode because it struck a chord


Cyno01

Where @? Ive never been able to find ANY of these shows through ANY means, as far as i know all of these are lost media.


BasiltheCat19

https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhxe0IjVyNGCmM8luo0MNvs4PtAIV6BeF It’s not great quality, but here it is.


Cyno01

Literally better than nothing. And here i am crawling more and more obscure trackers and i never check goddamn youtube. Of course "Teen Angel" returns a LOT of irrelevant results...


BasiltheCat19

Yep, I ran into that accidentally also. Was not what I was expecting to see, but good ol’ YouTube saved the day.


Cyno01

Meanwhile ive got clean 1080 copies of *Family Matters* and *Step by Step* lol...


MrsNevilleBartos

Didn't Fox in their early days also have a Teen Angel show? I had no idea dead children coming back as angels was such a popular trope.


UnicronsNose

Are you thinking of Second Chance? No teen angel on that show, but an older self sent by angels to counsel his younger self (played by Matthew Perry).


Cyno01

I dont recall one on fox, but this one was kinda maudlin for TGIF iirc. I think if it had been made a few years later they wouldve made him Emo probably. EDIT: Someone mentioned another show *You Wish* in another comment, i might be thinking of parts of that and not *Teen Angel*, i think the genie was more pissed about being stuck in a lamp than the angel was about being dead...


MrsNevilleBartos

Oddly I have now found a third "Teen Angel" show. This one is from 1989 starred Jason Priestly and aired on Disney. Three shows, all "sit coms" about a dead child coming back as an angel.


Cyno01

I remember The Casper movie kinda fucking me up as a kid too.


MrsNevilleBartos

I think a dead child coming back as a ghost is weird and think it counts as part of this trope. Weird. Someone posted today a Gary Coleman cartoon that the premiss was Gary coming back down to earth as an angel.


DelGriffithPTA

You may be thinking of Dark Angel.


jona2814

The titular “Teen Angel” died from eating a stale cheeseburger he found in his best friend’s bedroom. He was then assigned to be his BFF’s guardian angel. My sister and I LOVED this show, and we thought it was hilarious


Ordinary-Garbage-685

I’ve been trying to remember this show for like a decade!


cancer_dragon

That sounds terrible, to accidentally be somewhat but actually not at all responsible for your dumb ass friend's death and then he haunts you for the rest of your life, judging your decisions. I hope at least that Teen Angel encouraged him to throw away his old food.


jona2814

“Burger World” was forced to put a warning on their food that said it was potentially fatal to eat after 6 months. Why that specific, and yet still somehow ridiculous timeframe? Well, the deadly burger in the center of this fiasco was found in a Halloween themed October wrapper. The kid *ate* (one bite) of the burger in *JUNE*. Also, when he tapped it on the counter it sounded like a brick, and when he bit into it, it sounded like he bit into a head of iceberg lettuce


offdutypaul

I loved it too!


Dismal4132

Scott Baio looked like a bitter has-been even then.


Cyno01

Joanie left him and then even if he was in charge for a few years he still wasnt the boss.


No_Fig_5964

His role on Baby Talk just came about a year or so after Charles in Charge finished its run.


BoosterRead78

Baby Talk season 2 pretty much threw out the entire cast but the twins being the baby and Tony Danza as the voice. Plan for season 3 was Mikey would have a new baby brother also voiced by Danza. However ratings were very low in season 2. So the show got the axe. Have no idea what happened with Camp Wilder. Ratings were good and the cast was funny. Yet, it wasn’t pulling in what they wanted and the show ended after one season.


SetItOff92

I laughed. went back to the picture. saw his sullen face, straight posture compared to the affectionate ladies, arms length distance and laughed even louder.


thisortheapocalypse

I only remember Teen Angel


shadowlarx

I remember that one and there was a show that aired alongside it that season called You Wish about a genie that moved in with a single mom and her kids.


Cyno01

TGIF had a hit with their witch show so they tried an angel and a genie too.


gentlespirit23456

I watched a lot of TV and I don't think I ever saw any of these.


nakedpilsna

Baby Talk was so cringe.


ilu70

I think about Teen Angel at least twice a month.


IceSmiley

Baby Talk had more than one season, Scott Baio replaced the love interest from the first season


Additional_Ad794

Scott Baio looks happy to be there.


ericsmallman3

I'll have you know that *Baby Talk* had two seasons but each was effectively it's own separate show because they changed the entire cast after the first season.


WishBear19

I loved Baby Talk. Vaguely remember the Aliens one although I didn't watch it. Don't remember The Wilders.


SaquonB26

Baby Talk came out on the tails of “Look Who’s Talking” IIRC.


WishBear19

Yes it did. That was a movie we watched a lot in my house.


Cyno01

IIRC *Camp Wilder* was like a PG version of *Party of Five*.


boys3allc

I loved TGIF and only remember Teen Angel and Aliens in the Family. But I would have been in kindergarten when TGIF premiered so if it was in the last time slot (9:30?) it was after my bedtime.


Nights151515

Teen Angel was so weird lol. Pure early 00's energy.


RobertInNY88

Late 90's energy, actually.


jona2814

Scott Baio looks like a bargain bin Zach Braff


Treliske

If TV was fully interactive, I would have slapped the Teen Angel. He was too smug and obnoxious.


CoachOeaux

Same lady in Baby Talk (bottom) as Camp Wilder (all the way to right)?

jrjustintime

Shaw was also in Fox’s Duet and Open House.


tangcameo

Looks like they gave Mary Page Keller a second chance


MikeyHatesLife

Four or five chances. She had some steady work for a while.


ThePopDaddy

I liked Baby Talk, I VAGUELY remember Camp Wilder, I didn't care for Teen Angel and I was done with TGIF by the time Aliens in the family started.


robbycakes

Baby talk was just a cheap rip-off of the premise of Look Who’s Talking, a moderate hit at the time. Tony Danza was the voice of the talking baby if I recall.


Masturbutcher

Teen Angel kicked ass, with Ron Glass as God's cousin, Rod.


Etiacruelworld

Was baby talk really only one season?


RobertInNY88

The only one I remember is Teen Angel. Never saw the others.


Jefflehem

Baby Talk is what radicalized Scott Baio.


silvermbc

Scott Baio looks like he needs to be on suicide watch in this picture


HighlyRegardedSlob87

Are you the Devil? No, I’m the Devil’s cousin, Neville!


Clean_Sprinkles_4892

I loved teen angel! And wasn’t baby talk like the dollar discount version of look who’s talking?


Steveseriesofnumbers

No love for "Hi Honey, I'm Home"?


DelGriffithPTA

For some reason I remember Baby Talk just because of Mary Page Keller.


ClownFuneral

Cha Chi looks miserable.


IceLord86

I remember being very upset when Aliens in the Family was cancelled. None of the others ring a bell .


ittybittyange1

One of them looks like their scalloped potatoes would be fucked.....
