I was a fan of Step By Step back when it first aired on ABC. I used to watch it on the regular. And then, one day very recently, while sick in bed, I found it on Max and watched the whole series all over again. A quick Google search turned up the Deja Vu podcast, and when I found out it existed, I binged it as well. It’s easy to look at Step By Step as a goofy comedy because it is clearly a goofy comedy. However, Step By Step offered catharsis for a kid going through the blended family situation while this show was airing. It forced me to take an empathetic look at my familial situation through the eyes of characters like Carol, the matriarch who reminds me very much of my stepmother. Let’s say there was a lot of culture shock coming into a blended family. So, while the goofy sitcom did permeate Step By Step, it wasn’t my general takeaway from the show. What appeals to me about this podcast is Keanan and Lakin’s approach to narrative. Each podcast episode contains a thoughtful and sometimes brutal recap of a Step By Step episode, followed by banter, with some of it quite candid. Having grown up with the actors and their characters (I’m only slightly younger than Lakin), it’s good to know that I’m not the only one who faced the world in such a way. And I absolutely appreciate that about Deja Vu. The fact that Deja Vu is also focused on Step By Step is simply a bonus. I know this is a podcast review, not a novel, so I’ll sum it up. I appreciate this podcast for what it is: an observation of a show that poked fun at the human condition. And what’s enjoyable here is the behind-the-scenes look at that and the real-world lives of the actors who lived it. I hope this podcast finds a way to continue past the 160 episodes somehow. But even if it lasts as long as the series did, it’s well worth the time. Enjoy!
I loved the show the first time around on TGIF and I’m loving the podcast. Heard about it on our favorite true crime podcast True Crime Obsessed. Not only is the podcast great your voices are soothing. I’ve listened through several times while working/driving because you’re both so pleasant to listen to.
Watched the show as a kid in the 90s and loved it back then and still love it as an adult so I was excited to hear there was a podcast. It’s been sooo good I love both of them and their crazy stories. It’s also interesting to hear how Stacy has never seen the show before this and her perspective of it now. Five stars all the way! hope it continues 😁
Finally!! I keep getting soo excited everytime I see 90s recap/nostalgia podcasts but I’m sadly disappointed with the hosts. Staci and Christine are perfect I love the recaps but I LOVE their conversations and memories from that time. My new favorite podcast!
