I remember! That made it seem dumb and weird and hokey and we eventually stopped watching. Then one day my dad calls and says we have to watch this cool show he got all the episodes of on DVD or something... and eventually we do and roll our eyes and are all, "DAAD, we saw this dorky thing. It's corny and weird!" Well anyway, we watched it and could not stop watching! Pretty sure we all stayed up all night watching as many episodes as we could until we couldn't understand what was happening any longer due to extreme sleepy-stoopidness. TL;DR : you're correct. It is awesome.
