Nothing but napkins was a 1980s daytime sitcom featuring the zany antics of a family of napkins living in an apartment in New York City. Every episode featured footage of the napkins sitting on a desk, and an uproarious laugh track in the background. The show became a major hit in the United States, rated as "The Funniest Show of the 1980's" by TV Guide. Soon, spinoffs were popping up all over the place, such as "Nothing but saltshakers," "Nothing but kiwis," and "Nothing but empty airplane barf bags collected exclusively from an obscure airport in northern Taiwan."
