    • Trivia
      Their typical response to each other when they had a good idea was "Good thinkin' Abe Lincoln!". Also they'd put a fake background whenever they "called home" to tell them their "success rate" - the 'original' "green screen"' usage to mask where they were.

    what about Bo and Abe??

    i loved that show and it was simple and sometimes stupid in a funny way but they just don't make shows like that anymore. But Bo and Abe will forever be part of my childhood. I don't know exactly how much episodes they had , but I'm sure i saw them all.

    I remember going back to school and my friends and I would just talk about how cute the guys were and who was gonna marry who(i know, we were such losers)but i don't think if it came back on t.v. now i would watch it seem pretty retarded and quite unfunny. also i have seen what the guys look like now and yuck. but like i said, i am still waiting for a reunion!!!
