How this season is filed
VHS disasters as national sport: kids vs. piñatas, pets vs. gravity, dads vs. their own lawns. Bob Saget hosts the proto-YouTube pipeline years before anyone had an upload button. User-generated comedy as family-hour ritual — cheap, mean in a gentle way, and the reason relatives still shout that a wedding clip belongs on television.
