Blast back to the boob tube past! Many parents who ration their kiddos screen time grew up being couch potatoes. Moms and dads could get stuff done around the house if the children kicked back, relaxed, and enjoyed a few hours of television. The small screen was the stage for many great family-friendly shows in the '80s. See how closely you watched by taking this quiz!
The Results Are In: Recast My Two Dads
Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!
One of my favorite recast lists for My Two Dads this week was mamaseacat's cheeky cast that combined Madonna's family and the Harry Potter movies. I also loved a lot of the ideas for casting the Judge, like msshellokitty's suggestion of Estelle Getty and gracieredrox's idea of Olympia Dukakis.
aembry396 is onto something with her suggestion of Jerry Stiller playing Ed Klawicki, though I have to say I really love sfmastiffmom's idea of Chi McBride in that role.
Overall, though, I would absolutely love to see nikkih's recast list actually play the parts in a new version of My Two Dads, so she wins this week's challenge! To see who nikkih picked, along with a new cast photo, read more

I was obsessed with My Two Dads as a kid. I loved the cool city loft with the giant high heel couch. I loved that Nicole had two completely opposite dads, Michael and Joey, to help her with any little thing that happened. And I loved the cranky old Judge who stopped by from time to time to offer her wry, womanly advice. If you could recast this late-1980s TV show with new actors, who would you choose for the key parts?
Leave your entry in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature Tuesday, Dec. 11, complete with a "new" cast photo.
