020 FULL HOUSE & THE FAMILY CIRCUS

POOP CULTURE: “When Dave Coulier was considered genius.” Who’s a fan of the Family Circus? Not Me. As pop culture connoisseurs, Bob and Tim know not every bite of nostalgia can please the palette. And today they are looking back on two childhood favorites that have since soured in taste. Have mercy.
