Gag is from “Married…with Children” S9E09 “No Pot to Pease In” and the title is from a bite the hand joke from King of the Hill.
Edit: I feel like everyone who upvoted this post is like 10 years from the old folks’ home. See you there!
Also, Vulcans throwing shade at Marcy’s hair is hilarious.
I bet the Phlox network wouldn’t have been stupid enough to make Woops!
Holy crap. Memory unlocked. I could have sworn that show was just a fever dream.
Phlox network probably also wouldn’t have made “Ask Harriet” either.
Thirteen episodes were to be aired on the channel, however, only five episodes were aired
It was like Tootsie the series but without any of the charm. I do vaguely remember Ed Asner giving a good performance though so there’s that.
Now that’s one I don’t remember. I remember Woops! partially because of the misspelling, which always annoyed me, and partially because I was a junkie for post-nuclear stuff at the time so I remember how awful it was after being so excited about the idea.
The Last Man on Earth did so much better with the concept, although I think only season 1 of it was really any good.

This kind of reference is like being in the 80s and someone making a joke about horseless carriages, auto gyros and the King of Siam.
I don’t think there are many people online any more who remember having to wave around tin foil in weird positions or situations just to find the perfect interference to catch a TV signal to watch their favourite TV show.
I was a kid in the 80s and my older siblings often used me and my younger brother as signal antenna to watch a TV show. They had us hold the antenna in a particular way and stay there while they watched TV … we’d complain stop and get threatened, go back and then eventually mom and dad would tell us all to stop and no one could watch any TV.
