As a Gen-Xer, I've had my fill of clip shows, those network TV programs where the producers cobble together a "new" episode from clips of earlier installments. The worst offender for doing that was Family Ties. It seemed like every other episode, the Keatons would gather around the kitchen table to discuss that week's crisis and someone would say, "Do you remember that time ... ?" Then they'd play a clip of Skippy asking Mallory for a date or Alex learning an important lesson about friendship. I hate clip shows. So, welcome to our clip show.
