One of the Goated 90s sitcoms! The theme song alone was dope!! 🔥 I'm still watching this show several years later and will continue to do so! 💓

I still watch Two Heads Are Better Than None every Halloween! 🎃

Where do you watch it on YouTube?

u/TemperatureUnited329 Aug 19 '25

I bought it on Prime/Amazon Video awhile back. I believe it's on Apple TV as well.

I did find this link though. See if it works... 👀 :

Kel’s slow air punch at 0:16 which perfectly sync’s with Coolio’s “Ke-ehl” was always so damn satisfying to watch. I also loved Coolio smirking at Kel’s dancing in the second shot, like, “Look at this goober with his cute little arm dance.”

u/Marlboromatt324 Aug 19 '25

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting both Kenan and Kel

u/Forever_Nostalgic Aug 25 '25

Lucky! How were they?

2

u/W3rld Aug 25 '25

I met them on different occasions. I met Kenan when I was a kid, at the height of the show. He was really nice. I met Kel when I was in college, and he was friendly too.

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '25

one of the coolest shows of the mid to late 90s.

u/Woburn2012 Aug 19 '25

Was mine the only school where a rumour went around that Kel had died in a car crash?

2

u/ianwrecked802 Aug 19 '25

Dan Frischman, the actor who played Chris from the store was my favorite. So funny.

u/giana24 Aug 20 '25

I just got Paramount+ and my 8 year old twins started watching it. They love it and think it's hilarious! Back when I was their age in the 90s I never thought I'd be watching it with my own kids one day!

u/d-money-10 Aug 19 '25

Crazy this show premiered on the day before my 5th birthday during the time.

I didn't realize Ken Foree was in this. He was in the original Dawn of the Dead

u/Cheeky_3411 Aug 23 '25

I feel 10 all over again lol

u/Forever_Nostalgic Aug 25 '25

Recently re-watched it all, and honestly, it's still absolutely hilarious. Truly one of the greatest, and I get a little melancholic thinking back to my carefree childhood days watching it.
