Yeah, the reason why this eccentric acting of the Stage family is considered too badly powerful is because of that former WB network president Jamie Kellner, who's more of a comedy type of president rather than a real TV network president, that favored to appraised the focus on it. The worst was that he went too messing this series up completely and then this series' criticism forced to discontinued it.
Right now, it has been revealed that Jamie Kellner's relationship with the entire WB network should be the official caused on why the appraisal on the Stage family eccentricity was too badly powerful. Thank god, the WB network is officially shut down back in 2006.
The other problem which we could not ignore on is that 16-year-old Molly stage character, who is a autistic person who should be the main one to focus on more. Reagan Dale Neis, who plays Molly, is the main actress and her name should be first on the cast lineup, not Julia Sweeney.
This show deserves to get rebooted and this time, it will last more than 1 season in a low public cable network and not get messed up nor discontinued, by then. There will be same cast characters and new additional ones without replacements in it and that new actress, who plays 16-year-old Molly Stage, will be first on the cast line-up, this time also.
I know Suzanne Martin, who created, produced and wrote this show, deserves another chance to reboot this show for both perfection and better. But if Suzanne watches this 2008 TV DVD movie called "Picture This!", then that should help, TBH, IMO.
