We’ll hit the TGIF multiverse (hello, Urkel), the Beach Boys’ “almost recurring” status, the real San Francisco vs. Burbank set trick, Comet’s leap to Air Bud, theme-song secrets, near-miss revival attempts before Fuller House, and the young guest star with sitcom royalty in the family (hey, Tahj Mowry).
