Uncle Phil
I have nothing against Al Brooks, but the Uncle Phil episodes were unwatchable in my opinion. He pretty much hijacked the episodes he was in.
shareIt was Mel brooks not al brooks

and they were amazing episodes! I loved the "turkey trot" scene and i still use the line "FIRM EMBRACE"

Only one i hate is when he goes back to school. that was a dumb episode
shareHe pretty much hijacked the episodes he was in.
As did Carol Burnett...and I don't think anyone minded....they are well respected comedians and the cast and producers were lucky to have them be a part of their show.
Swing away, Merrill....Merrill, swing away...share
I liked Carol's reaction to Jamie having a nateral birth.
shareThose episodes were great and Mel Brooks is s comedy legend so he was just about the only one who had a right to hijack the show.
shareI heard that about Mel Brooks although I haven't seen anything with him before. Based on what I saw on this show I can honestly say I never want to go through that nightmare again. The guys is awful!
shareI'll never forget Uncle Phil and the coupons. I remember watching it before school one morning as a 9-ish year old and telling people at school about Uncle Phil.
shareOh my God, yes! I recently rewatched the whole series and those episodes are exactly as you described them. Uncle Phil is just like a really annoying child and everyone around him was behaving like those idiot parents that encourage him.
I never watched anything with Mel Brooks and now I know to stay away.
Flash in Blackadder was a similar such character although Rowan Atkinson was able to at least stand out as well so at least there was a conflict.
