I was going throught the late night channels and saw and old friend...



Marta bought this movie for me on laserdisc many years ago as a present. I haven't watched it in ages.

So good to see an old friend in the film.


Picture won't come up on my computer.

Wonder who his friend is?

Some leftover from the 1970s, Robert Williams or something like that.

Thought it had to do with girls basketball.

Close coach "Robin" Williams.  Old dead friend.

Oh.

<<<doesn't do television, and sometimes gets names wrong, of obscure short-term television celebrities.  At first, I thought he was that one guy who was in a television series from the 1970s, about a guy who lived with two women.

<<<recognizes television celebrities if they've been truly famous, though.

Move to Oregon. You can go any time you want here. They'll even write a story about you and make you a hero.

It's probably someone in the background with no speaking role.

Maybe it's the person lurking in aisle 3.

This is a quick effort by the fading Big Guy to rub the Dump's nose in yet another luxury he enjoyed that's beyond their means.

Laserdisc players came out in the late '70s and were very expensive, around $3000 in today's dollars.

They quickly disappeared with the huge success of VHS.

it's just another tiny part of why the Big Guy will leave his wife to an impoverished widowhood.

Some vestige of that laserdisc player's cost is probably still buried somewhere in the huge balance on one of the Big Guy's credit cards.

I bought into the laserdisc craze.
I still have maybe 50 or so of them.
It seemed natural (to me) that something the size of a 33 album would have the same or better popularity.
Then came the CD and the DVD.
