» "Hey now!" from Rabid Monkey
I'm nearly convinced that TV's Dr. Phil and Jeffrey Tambor (most notably Hank Kingsley from The Larry Sanders Show) are [Read More]

I disagree with the theme of Full House. It states that "Everywhere [I] look, everywhere [I] go (There's a heart), There's a heart, A hand to hold onto." I believe this is false advertising.

Mike

Dr. Phil is like the evil twin of Hank Kingsley from The Larry Sanders Show. Still, I've never seen the two of them together—you may be onto something. Hey now!

Peter

A man in my Native American History class is a dead ringer, in appearance and voice, to Oprah's favorite male, and giving a presentation the other day I kept waiting for him to delve into his tribe's romantic way of life and take questions from the class. I was THIS close to losing it at one point.

Reason Number 16 I Couldn't Teach That Class: I'd end up accidentally calling him Dr. Phil and losing all respect from my students. (What respect?) Oh yeah.

lizzie

I always thought it was "Whatever happened to the disability..." And I never questioned it or even thought about it until seconds ago, when I read the correct line there. But now that I do think about it, that didn't make sense. I'm dumb.

kismet

while I never had problems with the full house lyrics, I must say I disagree as well. I really remember the second half of the first verse being something like, " you see an old familiar friend who's waiting just around the bend."

however, I agree with the predictability line.

Mike

Thank you! Ever since I first saw Dr. Phil a few months ago, I've maintained that he is in fact a Hank from the Larry Sanders Show. Nobody wanted to listen to my conspiracy theories then, but maybe now a full investigation is in order.

Jeff

Am I the only one hung up on the fact that someone has a site with the lyrics to Full House?

El Gray

Mark me down for one more supporter of the Dr. Phil = Tambor party. I've thought that every time I've seen the Dr.

(and every time was one time too many)

jennifer

While I agree Tambor and McGraw look frighteningly alike, Dr. Phil is so *mean*. Really mean! There is no way someone can play Hank and be as mean. Dr. Phil is a meanie, for lack of a better term.

alicia

Seems like dr. phil's glomming onto oprah has worked out quite lucratively for him.

Jim Cuene

I'd like a source citation on the 3's company lyric, please. Prior to this posting, I would have bet my life that the lyrics are "Where the kisses are Hers and Hers and His/Three's company Too!". I mean, come on, it makes sense. Hers (Chrissy), Hers (Janet) and His (Jack). That's 3, right?

Now, once this is settled, we can move on to more important things, like the lyrics to the Land of the Lost theme song....

Good day.

Whoa -- I thought I was the only one who had made the Dr. Phil -> Jeffrey Tambor connection. I was recently watching Pollock, and everytime the character of Clem Greenberg opened his mouth I expected him to say something like "Life is a grapefruit, and a positive attitude is a grapefruit spoon -- you know, those spoons with the point at the end that help you dig on into the grapefruit of life? And sure, sometimes life squirts you in the eye with juice, and sometimes life tastes a little sour, but if you eat the whole grapefruit you'll get 80% of the daily recommended allowance of that Vitamin C we call 'empowerment'.

Mena

I'll say that my source was incorrect and give you "hers and hers and his." The other way doesn't make much sense.

dina

Thank goodness that I'm not the only one who thinks that they're freaky alien clones.......

fertile_jim

he's not jeffrey tambor, he's will ferrell!
"When you hungry for a corndog, a midget with a butcher knife doesn't dance, does he?"

starmama

yes, they freakishly favor each other. but jeffrey tambor is WAY too cool. and jennifer, he's too nice to be dr phil, I totally agree.

phil's not only mean, he's an arrogant bastard who says a whole hell of a lot of nothing.

seth

I like to annoy my sister-in-law (who loves the phil) by calling him Dr. Phil McGroin.

Classic.

Brandon

If your disturbed by the fact that Full House lyrics are a google away, then avert yours eyes NOW!!!!

Purists and Chaka-lovers please note that there are different versions of the theme for first and second, and third seasons.

Goddamn the face forgery of the ever cunning Phil.
He stole the face of a generous saint of a man(Hank Kingsley)
and as if that wasn't enough, now that fiend,that letch wants to steal all the trappings of fame that he can.
This abomination must be stopped i move that the comittee organise a lynch mob double quick and put a stop to this human (and i use the term loosely) filth this Doppleganger
Okay then,the ayhs have it see you at the good MD's house next Tuesday,
Together we shall avenge these atrocities against
the ever angelic HANK KINGSLEY....
regards the EARL.
