As the show comes to an end, I've been trying to figure out what might be the next logical career move for the cast over at Joe Schmo.

What do y'all think is in the future for them?

First off - I hope Joe gets his own little pizzaria. Something like Schmo Better Pizza, He's earned himself a slice of the American dream, don't you think? He could have specialty pies - like the "Nut Knuckle" or the "Sumo Surprise." I think he could have a great dessert pizza called the "Chocolate Hooker" - maybe with some penicillan sprinkles on top just to be safe.

And since Brian already does pizza commercials, maybe he could be the official spokesperson for Matt's pizza place. I see lots of potential commercial endorsements for Brian: Bro, the man bra of tommorow...today! - Jockey underwear since he's uber-comfortable in his skivvies! The possibilities are truly endless. Actually, Brian is a funny guy - so I'm hoping something really good comes his way.

What can Molly look forward too? I can totally see her as Topless Babe #5 in any number of teen slasher movies. And if that doesn't pan out, they are always hiring at the Dairy Queen in Backwater, Texas. (Before you jump my ass, please remember that I am also a not-too-bright chick from Backwater, Texas - so it's ok for me to be catty.)

Since the end of Kukla, Fran and Ollie the world has been yearning for a new puppet mistress to take us into the new millenneum. Dr. Pat could be that puppet mistress. She could also be super topical and edgy - it's about time someone explored dysfunctional relationship dynamics with puppets - preferably on public television. The time has come Dr. Pat - the time has come!

Since Hutch already appears as Loni Anderson's son in the mullets - I thought it would be cool if they write in Dr. Johnny Fever as his dad. There is a passing resemblence! Or if he wants to be on a good show, they should cast him as Lt. Dangle's evil brother Dirk Dangle on Reno 9-1-1. He'd be a geat bad seed on that show! But Hutch doesn't need career guidance though, he kicks some serious ass.

There's always a need for grizzled vets isn't there? Earl seems to have a pretty prolific career. Wouldn't it be cool to see him play a corpse on like NYPD Blue or something. Actually CSI - cause the corpses have bigger roles on that show and I want Earl to have a fitting salute. Aye, aye captain.

Gina's propensity to over emote would make her a natural on Spanish soap operas. Muy bien senorita scenery chewer - muy bien!

Kip can do anything - if they ever remake The Birdcage though he has a lock on the Hank Azaria role. And he should get a BMW commercial too - that whole analogy thing has got to move some product. Long term, maybe he could get his own show on the fashion network to help men accessorize better. But I only want Kip to get his own show if he promises to yell "I pull your pants down right now" every episode.

Unfortunately for Ashleigh all those Dynasty type shows are off the air. What's the quintessential rich ##### to do? I dig Ashleigh though - she'll do fine. She could totally be on like Fifth Wheel or something since she's got the rejected hottie thing down pat.

That leaves us with Ralph. Since he was born to wear the bee suit, maybe he could get the lead in a John Belushi biopic. Or he could be the new Bob Eubanks. Actually, I think Ralph might already be the new Bob Eubanks. Or maybe the new Wink Martindale. I'm just not sure. He's no Gene Rayburn though (but then again - who is?)

Ok peeps, now it's your turn - what do you think is next for the cast?

Pooh, you rock. ROTFL.

I don't have any ideas that could possibly top that, but I just wanted to say I would totally watch any show where Kip yelled "I pull your pants down right now!" every episode. And I can just see Dr. Pat's Psycho Puppets on our local PBS station, right after Lamb Chop's Play Along.

Thanks again for the laugh! This made my day.

"I pull your pants down right now!" - the sitcom catchphrase of the new millenium

although no way he gets a BMW spot Poho - they don't want you to think you've still got a really good car when you get a scrash scratch, they'd probably want you to buy a whole new one!

Bwahahahaha

I think that you have hit the proverbial nail on the head (but I always think that since I *heart* you so much and lean toward total agreement as well) and enjoyed your version of what's next.

The only thing I see missing from the menu at Matt's new joint is something with honey and any item from the not fit for a king dinner.

AWESOME READ LisaPooh!!!

Woohoo, Pooh! I think we should try and make "I pull your pants down right now" the latest catchphrase on OT. (Folks come on over to the Off-Topic forum and help us, K?)

edited to add: I've even started a thread on OT to spead the Kip lvoe. http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID6/8834.shtml

And Ralph is so Wink Martindale wanna-be.

We really do have guidelines here. Believe it or not, the Guidelines make things more fun. Really.

A nut-knuckle pie? BWAHAHAHAHA! Pooh, you slay me

*I pull your pants down right now*

Hey, maybe they'll even come out (no pun intended) with a talking Kip doll, complete with neck-scarf tied to the side. He has four alternating lines:
"I pull your pants down right now!"
The BMW analogy
The Arnold electrocution (which somehow I must have missed, but I assume it was pretty hilarious since everybody mentions it--I think I got a telephone call right then. Wasn't it right before he got into the pool?)
"Matt, you are my knight in shining armor."
Maybe they can issue changeable outfits, including his water wings. Even better, they ought to do a whole set of them with the whole cast. Two of Earl's lines would be his two-part question: the first, long rambling part about getting caught by the enemy and tortured, etc. etc. etc., followed by the second: "What was your favorite game in the house?" Molly's would include, "Ow, I just bit my tongue" (I had forgotten about how hilarious that part was until someone else mentioned it in a post). Ralph's would include the whole "your sad existence working for the man" spiel, and would also include the bee costume.

As far as the shows, I'd like to see "The Kip and Hutch Show". Sort of like a modern day Odd Couple. Hutch is always trying to throw Kip into the pool, and Kip is always threatening to pull Hutch's pant down RIGHT NOW!

Also, on "Dr. Pat's Psycho Puppets", she has to have a regular feature entitled "Healing your Inner Schmo" (using, of course, plenty of therapeutic puppets: "So you want to touch the high priced hooker here? Is that right? How does that make you feel?")

I take a bow in reverence to your sidesplitting literary skill and date myself when I agree with your Martindale comparison.

--Neffer

I just heard stories about him from my great-grandpa. Tell us more about the olden days Neffer!

- I kid because I care. I'm actually 67 years old.

Geez, I feel so old now...I actually remember the winkster (or is that a nickname we should reserve for brian). Didn't he host joker's wild?

Boy, it's hard to top those. LP, you should go into career counseling.

Joe: Underwear model for not-so-GQ Magazine

Brian: Professional characterist, like the guy who goes bare back, wears the over-sized hat over three-quarters of his upper body and paints a face on his abdomen for state fairs and such.

Molly: The bikini girl in the boxing ring who holds the sign upside down as to what round it is.

Dr. Pat: Is abducted by a rogue group of geisha women and forced to perfect the art of sumo wrestling.

Hutch: Starts his own exercise group for testicle work outs.

Earl: Decides he's going to diffuse the bomb in Korea, and is never seen again.

Gina: Wants to become the next Anna Nicole Smith and marries Aaron Spelling.

Kip: Is arrested for attempting sharp shooting in the grassy knoll just outside the Fab 5's apartment building.

Ashleigh & Ralphy Baby: Starts the very first gay porn network "Booty Cooties"

Guppi, you never cease to amaze me and I like that in a person!!
Altho I could never equal you, Pooh or Bebo in the makes me laugh so hard I pee my pants category (probably because I only come up with the really good stuff in the lavatory and sharing it with so many other people in the house leaves me little opportunity to come up with much because my limited time there is spent changing my knickers from accidents caused by you 3), LORD KNOWS I TRY.

I find that humor is the poor man's Viagra, and I tend to laugh at just about anything. I'll keep trying. When I'm in a department store in the underwear department, I'll think of you.

I'm your number one fan. Get it... #1

Awwwwww I'm a lova, lova, lova you too and I'm proud to be your muse in the underwear dept. Just one question: Are we talking ladies or men's here?

Well, I think you once mentioned that you were a lady. Yes? I know it can be dangerous to offer up too much personal info on these sites - it can be used against you later by the grumpy types.
