Wow, it's like somebody put a damn dirty gypsy DEATH CURSE on the network stars of yesteryear. All of the headlines are mentioning Happy Days, which i personally could NEVER stand. I remember when i was little and lived in nebraska and we had an old tv with no remote and no cable, we watched what was on in syndication. Happy Days was always fucking on. it sucked ass, and me and my little brother fucking hated it. Ron Howard would, of course, go on to make maddeningly middle-of-the-road movies of a similar nature.
Tom Bosley would go on to the glorious FATHER DOWLING MYSTERIES, which i, for some reason, could not get enough of. what a shitty show to fixate on- but like i said, we only had a couple of channels. The only reasons i can think of for liking it so much was my bizarre desire to be Catholic instead of Lutheran (in retrospect, i'm glad that didn't work out, no offense to Catholics) and the fact that Father Dowling had an EVIL TWIN named BLAINE?! so i guess it combined two of my childhood fixations: Catholics, and evil twins.
anyway, yeah. It seems like the Battle of the Network Stars has taken a DEADLY TURN! You best watch your ass, Jean Stapleton!
