I don't miss those old days.

I did watch MIDDLE AGE CRAZY, which wasn't very good. I remembered it was based on a Jerry Lee Lewis song but not that he was credited as co-writer.

Great song, pretty crummy movie.

It seems cruel to mention it, but I remember trying to watch "Bill" (I can't imagine why) and finding it absolutely unwatchable. I think the reference to Kirk Lazarus is correct.

/Is that guy supposed to be Dennis Quaid?

I cringed even then thinking about watching that one, Deb. So I didn't even try. That guy looks like Dennis to me. The big one, that is.

I had apparently given up on network television by 1981, although I thought I had held on a little longer (I was, at the time, married to a woman whose idea of selecting a program to watch was LOP--Least Objectionable Program).

Good eye. It was Dennis Quaid. But then again, he was also in GORP at around that time, one of the worst movies ever made, a terrible MEATBALLS ripoff, with Michael Lembeck, Fran Drescher, and Rosanna Arquette in a Jewish summer camp.

1981 was about the nadir of US tv during my viewing years. Even if some of the worst of the late '70s hits were (finally) gone...
