I sure do miss the 80's. The people in this world are more and more horrible every day.

[MsTVRetro]

[raulcaldas2727]

[slydawg221]

@raulcaldas2727 ilene graff? what about tracy wells?

[bbbmoody]

Bob Uecker is awesome! Also, I loved the dynamic between Belvedere and Wesley!

[ivegotalongdong]

wasn't chirstopher hewitt like 100 years old?  Leon Redbone had a heck of a run there...

[vnisanianisback]

@ivegotalongdong Hewett was 68 back in 1989.

[vnisanianisback]

6 of those clips are from season 5 episodes:

Wesley and Belvedere cooking (Roommates)

George and Wesley high-fiving (Hooky)

Wesley getting oatmeal dumped on his head by Heather (New Year's)

Wesley and Heather innocently smiling on the couch (Mutiny)

Mr. Belvedere dumping confetti on Wesley (The Debate)

Heather walking into the kitchen (The Debate)

[captainfunksauce]

[WillJill89]

TOMY henry: sings the theme song

[cabcalloway519]

"I almost Mr. Belvedered myself...google it" Rodger from American dad.

[TheSmutchypuss]

beaver falls! i was a dumb kid and thought that they were just always...there. i was really excited. i kinda wanted to marry kevin.

[SuperClintEastwood]

@georgelopezblows so you're like 24? What about CHILDREN OF THE 50's UNITE!

[RMilvae]

Trying to watch Mr. Belvedere!

[superstr5]

can someone explain WHY the even have a butler? they live in a 4 bedroom brown stone! true he was a sports anchor,but she worked in a diner to make ends meet! i remember an episode where they didnt know if they could afford fancy college for the oldest! and a new car! and nobody even considered cutting the butler loose?.lol and why did he call them george and marsha and they call him MR? it was almost like he had dirt on them or something!.lol

[grenadier33]

@superstr5 IIRC he was writing a book about a middle class neighbourhood and he took the job there for first-hand experience. I'd look on wikipedia to make sure but I'm too lazy at the moment, plus I'm listening to the Mr Belevedere theme song.

[thirtymphs]

@superstr5 Originally she was a full-time law student and he worked all the time and the kids were younger and not well-equipped to run the house on their own.

[superstr5]

@thirtymphs ok and THAT i get!! but!! she dropped out and took a job at a diner!! and as i said,they did have episodes with money troubles.including buying a car and sending the eldest to a good college!! and yet,nobody once said,ummm lets cut the butler loose!.lol and besides that,why did he call them by there first names,and they called him MR?..lol i still think he had some kinda dirt on the owens family!!!..lol

[JennaHaze2000]

@superstr5 Yes it was a plot hole.

[Nightmastercool97]

I loved this show growing up as a child even though it is cult classic and on the fringe of being totally forgotten but i am glad that some people that i know that are around my age still remember this show.

[WREYtube]

@Nightmastercool97 :)  I wish they would put it back in syndication somewhere... I've still never scene the unaired ABC episodes...

[megamanj2004X]

@WREYtube hopefully we'll find out on the current FamNET TV reruns if they make it all the way to the 6th season. So far some of the S3 eps. they're showing on that channel are from the U.S. syndication prints (w/ the short theme from the S4 intro) and one episode "Separation" used the full S3 intro credits.

[WREYtube]

@megamanj2004X ?!?! I didn't know the show was back on... don't recognize the channel... I wonder if its available on DirecTV... (???)

[megamanj2004X]

@WREYtube FamNET TV. They're also showing The Bob Newhart Show and its 80s sitcom Newhart, Mary Tyler Moore, Remington Steele, I Spy, The Saint among other shows. They also used to show Lou Grant, Trapper John, M.D. and Lost in Space earlier this summer before they were pulled from FamNet.

I dunno if Direct TV carries it but it's definitely on AT&T U-Verse though. You might have to check your cable provider to see if they have it on there.

[JennaHaze2000]

@megamanj2004X What exsactly is famnet TV

I see the famnet radio website.

Is famnet tv a reginal  TV station?

Or a internet TV website? I haven't seen this show in 15 years :(

[megamanj2004X]

@JennaHaze2000 that's a cable TV station available on some cable service providers such as AT&T U-Verse.

[cainmilesfriedjelly]

Why was Stewie watching such an old show? O_o

[madamewoselle]

Why does that woman in the commercial only feed her kid peanut butter?

[don66sicily]

brice is cute!!!!!!!!!!

[riceboi1983]

JiF

[gtz1975]

@georgelopezblows Who's Stewie?

[CelesteK]

@gtz1975 Stewie Griffin from Family Guy.

[SirRembrant]

Thumbs up if you had a HUGE crush on Tracy Wells back then :D

[raulcaldas2727]

@SirRembrant i had a crush on the mom

[housewares]

[John1ADuncan]

[zaxxon83]

If Chuck Norris "drop-kicked your jacket as you came through the door"...well...lets just hope you have health insurance!!!

[Dan97LHS]

I was only 10 but I had the biggest crush on Bryce Beckham (Wesley). Guess I knew I was gay early on. Funny show.

[raulcaldas2727]

@Dan97LHS well if u saw him now it prob would make u turn to liking women

[musenenlightened1984]

YOU LITTLE HERB!!!! SHE CANT COOK SHE MADE YOU JIF !!!

[spraguejosh35]

Ha stewie

[xaqshuna2003]

0:26 I wonder what he's looking at?

[chumshot1]

@georgelopezblows Unfortunately...yes...but I must say I've always loved retro shows. I just never saw this one before 0_o

[harper1able]

I had heard that Marylin Manson appears in this show.

I remember this show since I was a child.

[WREYtube]

@harper1able Nope... urban legend along with the one that he appeared in Wonder Years... :)

[AntiChristAntiFail]

@WREYtube but think of how cool it would be if that were true

[de132]

@georgelopezblows Too bad this show sucked.

[therhinoskull]

Stewie Griffin brought me here

[adrianao69o]

stewie DID bring me here

[msagaris]

90's kids>80's kids

[UNCARING1]

@georgelopezblows I was born in 1982. I remember this show from when I was a kid. But, I don't wish to unite. LONG LIVE STEWIE!!!

[pregogirl12kac]

jif.... i remember this.... memories

[spamantha]

Thanks, Losing The Sheen Podcast, for making me look up this theme song. tanks, wreytube, fr the bonus Jif commercial.

[carvence]

"I wanted a brand of peanut butter that smelled like fresh-roasted peanuts. That 'peanut-ier' smell is more important than the actual peanuts the other brands use." Audit your privilege, JIF.

[ladymjedi]

loved this show lol

[thanosied]

"Mommy I love how you COOK!" COOK? Jif spread on sliced bread is what passes for cooking since the 80s in america? LOL.

[Tw1stedMoogle]

@thanosied Pretty sure it was meant to be a joke. Like the kid not understanding that it isn't really cooking. I Could be wrong, but that's how i saw it.

[factorygal21]

I always determine my brand of peanut butter by sniffing it.

[maclovindotca]

In response to the commercial afterward; It's hard to imagine that our society has turned anti-peanut !

[yay78900]

@georgelopezblows and back then we could all eat Jif because no one was allergic to peanuts

[T81PA]

Uh Norm everyone has the right to the 1st Amendment some more then others, but it would wise in the future to keep your opinions to yourself....remember it's always better to be thought of as a great fool by not saying anything, rather then opening up your mouth to prove it....just saying.

[safrole85]

Ahhhh....the good ole days when making a sandwich was considered cooking....

[nyy22592]

What? Why isn't he yelling it at a TV screen?

[abysmalatrocious]

Mr. Belvidere and Bob Uecker! Nice!!

[EpilepticOrchestra]

Thank you wreytube. Thank you.

[reignman2263]

I was brought here by watching this in the 80's. Screw Stewie!

[itxchas]

I miss him.

[JSSTyger]

[innovationonline09]

[BLANKNOTING]

[nintendoneil]

this friggin song haunts me when i go to sleep at night..

[ciroslive]

Mr. Belvedere > Family Guy Forever and Ever.

[Topacio1978]

Ewww mom's double-dipping in the Jif peanut butter lol

[corrupt200]

[me1337je]

Red Bar Radio!

[JesdaG]

PEANUT BUTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheDmanWiThiN]

i guess i never paid attention to the beginning...or the show...i liked it all for no apparent reason, and i guess that says something...but truth be told i remember the remote at the end

[steveparok00]

Wow JIF!! "Peanuttier..." I NEED THAT!

[peterganna]

@MervynCruddy lol I like how 100 other people said that but you pick me to say your stupid fuming remark to how pathetic

[bacardipr05]

i always thought the cast was kind of odd in a way that i cant explain exactly....always though the mother was pretty hot though..

[lsenkowsky]

Man... I want some peanut buttah!

[JLogic72]

leon redbone

[animehunter23]

I remember this show, came on right after tiny toons where I lived. funny though I remembered the butler but for years the show's name escaped me

[natorpen]

I want to give her my pea-nuttier

[Dustbin1149Jr]

This show is the sort of shite you can cite in order to win an argument against someone who claims tv was better in the 1980's.

[carvence]

@Dustbin1149Jr I would pit this show against 'Two and a Half Men," "The Real Policewomen of Broward County," or "America Used To Have Talent" any day of the week.

[Dustbin1149Jr]

@carvence

Those shows you mention are awful too. I'm just saying that tv in the 80s just as bad. I think people just had lower standards back then. Nowadays with the internet/dvds etc etc tv has been shown up for the crap it is. Back in the 80s it had no competition so people probably even looked forward to new episodes of garbage like Mr. Belevedere for entertainment.

[bacardipr05]

@Dustbin1149Jr Hmmmm this show was ok in a way your are right we had less to choose from back then..Mr. Belvedere was a So-So show...However now a days we are over whelmed by Stupid Ass Reality show's...which i can not stand...I dont give a flying fuck if Snookie is given Brian a Hand job..or all the other dumb ass show's now a days...

[carvence]

@Dustbin1149Jr Certainly it was no 'Deadwood' or 'The Wire', but the writing was still, generally, better overall on most shows and the characters had a little more depth. It's still possible to sit down and get through an episode of Belvedere, but try to do the same thing with a second season shot of 'Yes, Dear' and it's simply a nightmare....

[TheInferno515]

all i can think of is Stewie going DA DA NA NA NA NA DA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA!!!!!!!!

[Andyroo2319]

@TheInferno515 He wasn't that incoherent...

[TheInferno515]

@Andyroo2319 no, thats exactly what he does when he sings it

[Andyroo2319]

@TheInferno515 When he sings, he's still saying the words, just crazier.

[TheInferno515]

@Andyroo2319 i know....but he does that during the instrumental

[Andyroo2319]

@TheInferno515 You mean later on in the episode?

[TheInferno515]

@Andyroo2319 yeah he sings it twice in the episode, i think its the second time he sings where he does that for the instrumental

[Andyroo2319]

@TheInferno515 I forgot that part existed, sorry...lol.

[samuraiyao]

The mom was such a milf!!!!

[funkyfredfrog]

Family guy brought me here too! UK

[peterganna]

family guy brought me here...

[MervynCruddy]

@peterganna Then go back there.

[shinesthrudarain]

I peanut butter on me today for the dog

[ruffzspree]

that piano tune is epic

[gar76207]

oh stewie :)

[fcstiles]

Brice Beckham was such a promising young talent, whatever became of him?

[Trixiechk405]

PEANUT BUTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HomerSimpson3288]

I listened to this just because of stewie.. That was a funny bit.

[AlexanderRozhenko]

If this show was made today it would have to be some gay or ethnic butler, instead of Mr. Belvedere. :-(

[sithlord519]

@AlexanderRozhenko

i agree it would be some nigger or spic who couldnt act but tv would want some minority to keep rev al quiet.

[Bailadiva71]

I can't listen to this theme song without thinking of Stewie loudly singing the song. to drown out Peter and Lois.

[obscureluzername]

Jesus what a crap show, can't believe I used to watch it. To think I thought todays shows were shit.

[princeofdarknessxyz1]

@obscureluzername its a good show..can't believe it was 1989...gosh i miss my child hood

[etenightstar]

@obscureluzername

They are your taste has just gotten worse

[petey80]

I wish they would hurry up and release the final seasons on DVD. I have up till four and they quit coming out. I don't wanna have to order the bootlegs

[vnisanianisback]

@petey80 Me too. Supposedly, word is that Shout Factory only has the rights to seasons 1-4, and doesn't have the rights to seasons 5 and 6. Well they and Fox Film Corp. better hurry up and come to a reasonable deal. I'm not gonna be around forever you know!

[indyfan22k]

How did Bob Uecker have time to be An Actor ??

[elnino559]

Mr. B was an evangelist rip

[carvence]

They should've always used this opening. Those historical clips of Belvedere serving Churchill and Gandhi were hilarious!

[mattwu911]

I hope that JIF kid got kidnapped and murdered sometime during the late 80's

[ALIENnation771]

thumbs up if stewie griffin brought u here

[maskedidentity72]

Stewie Griffin brought me here.

[ALIENnation771]

@maskedidentity72 ha he brought me 2

[FreakDaMIghet]

I still think Mr. Belvedere is trying to take over the world. I do and so does Peter from Family Guy.

[lasuvidaboy]

The mom played by Ilene Graff looks the same today! 

[DMHagwood]

I didn't know the full opening included a Jif commercial! LOL

[jayce79]

Ahh . . .when America was great. Boy, I miss it.

[stevensonbak]

They say its peanut-ier....

[aldfjak]

am i the only person who thinks the MILF is hot today but didn't think much of her back then?

[Darknight805]

Stewie brought me here

[markxxx21]

Wesley was such a cute, evil monster, but he lost his cuteness by Season 5

[Kurtiz76]

The Jif commercial is great.

[billycv]

ilene graff was hot!!!

[Kurtiz76]

@billycv you're damn right she was. I loved that 80's dark roots/blonde girl look. What happened to that?

[xXGhilliedxSamuraiXx]

Peenuht budhar!

[Mprator]

Tracy Wells is calling out through time and space for my ****!

[cbaldwinjr]

I love this intro but can't watch without thinking of Stewie Griffin lol

[DeltaCookies007]

Remember when he sat on his nuts and passed out?

[MrZacharybinks]

the greatest tv show ever made, after family guy. 

[lawpunker]

The music sounded like a Fancy Feast commercial.

[ChuloBadGuy]

@lawpunker LMFAO!!!!! That's crazy cause I was just going to say it sounds like a commercial for dish washing liquid or something. Every time I hear "Streaks on the China, never mattered before" & the way the music sounds, I can't help put think of one of those commercials lol.

[synyztahkillah09]

Thank you for the JIF Commercial at the end.. It makes everything feel legit.. :P

[DutchKalhoun]

ABC prime-time TV of the 80's at it's finest, folks!

[HelloNilly]

#fistpump

[squid1891]

The shot at 0:25....very nice!

[JeffroTV]

Back when I was 12 and 13 we were kids. Now they dress like wiggers and hoes. Simpler times.

[simonjeste]

0:26 ftw imo

[cearaelizabeth]

You know what else is good? Watching Mr. Belvedere without people TALKING SO LOUDLY.
