Christine Taylor and Ben Stiller’s Timeline
“I remember it was before the DVDs. There was a period of time where I was trying to get a hold of the episodes because my dad had recorded them on VHS. So that puts it all in perspective. My dad had a catalog, and I was like, ‘Not only is that going to be horrible quality, I don’t want to spend any time to transfer those to CDs.’ We were trying to get them all and Nickelodeon was owned by Paramount, and I’d just done the Brady Bunch movie. So we went to Paramount. We’re like, ‘Do you have a catalog of this show?'” she exclusively told Us Weekly on January 9. “And Ben as a birthday gift for me, got all of the DVDs and put it in, like, a binder. It’s like an embossed logo of a leather binder. … This must have been, like, 2000.”
The couple gathered their kids to watch a few episodes — but they didn’t even get to the credits.
“I was so excited to pop in an episode and show my kids. Ten minutes in, they were literally, like, looking around like, ‘How much longer are you gonna make us watch this?’ Because it’s quiet and slow. It’s not great editing or music every second,” she recalled. “It was not something they decided to go in to see all 65 episodes. I think they got their 10 minutes of episode one!”
Taylor and Stiller, 57, share daughter Ella, 20, and son Quinlin, 17. Years before tying the knot with the Emmy winner in 2000, Taylor dated her former costar David Lascher, with whom she now cohosts the “Hey Dude… The 90s Called!” podcast. The pair played Melody and Ted, respectively, on the series, which ran for five seasons
