HISTORY


The character of "Bobby" can likely be traced back to Mandel's days as a stand up comedian in Canada and later the United States . Mandel would commonly go into character with the same voice as Bobby, often conversing with an unseen "parent". The gag was very popular with audiences.


SHOW FORMAT


Episodes often consist of a short Live Action segment either before or after the main story (and sometimes both before and after). The segment would include Mandel describing some aspect of the story and often times relating it back to his personal childhood.
Sometimes during these segments, the character of Bobby would appear in animated form and converse with Mandel. Other times, a live action child would appear and exchange words with Mandel.


CHARACTERS

  • Bobby Generic, 4-year old protagonist

  • Howard Generic, Bobby's father (modeled upon and also voiced by Howie Mandel)

  • Martha Generic, Bobby's mother, who speaks with a heavy Minnesota Accent and often punctuates her speech with odd phrases like "Fer cryin' in the mud" and "dont'cha know".

  • Kelly Generic, Bobby's 14-year-old sister

  • Derek Generic, Bobby's 10-year-old brother

  • The Generic Twins, Bobby's infant brothers

  • Aunt Ruth, Bobby's aunt and Martha's sister (voice of Edie McClurg )

  • Uncle Ted, Bobby's uncle and Martha's brother (voice of Tino Insana )

  • Roger, the Generic family dog

  • Jackie, Bobby's next door neighbor/classmate with the floor-length Pigtails who always Kisses him
