"It takes a lot to make a stew, A pinch of salt and laughter too, A scoop of kids to add the spice, A dash of love to make it nice, And you've got... TOO MANY COOKS!"

Synopsis
Spoiler shield

"Too Many Cooks" is a humorous parody of US sitcoms of the 1970s and the 1980s, meanwhile what seems like an interminable opening theme, a mysterious killer makes his way and kills (preparing a lunch with their limbs) various members of the Cook Family.

“It takes a lot to make a stew, A pinch of salt and laughter too, A scoop of kids to add the spice, A dash of love to make it nice, And you've got... TOO MANY COOKS!”
