Worrapile o'crap that was, and yet I used to watch it every week.  Was there ever a comic made of it? What ever happened to Greg Evigan? (I KNOW I could Google it, but I thought it might be nice to talk...  )

He was in a sitcome for 3 or 4 years called "MY TWO DADS"
and
he was in William Shatners Tek War tv movies and short lived tv show, based on Shatner's books.

Loved it when I was a kid. It would be interesting to see how it held up today.

Yeah, Dave I loved it too then - I was being very tongue in cheek with my worrapileocrap thing because I've no idea how good or bad it was, only that I used to look forward to it back in the day and I was sixteen or so so should have had SOME taste

That was back in the '80s around the same time as "The Littlest Hobo"

It was around the time when truckers were anti-authoritarian heroes. "BJ & the Bear" combined funny animals, funny lawmen, big trucks for the boys, and a cute guy for teenaged girls. How could it not have been a hit?

I brought up this show last week at work, and nobody had any idea what I was talking about. Even the guys who are my age (35) or older.
I was like, "WTF is your problem? It's BJ and the Goddamned Bear!" But no...

(I KNOW I could Google it, but I thought it might be nice to talk...  ) Evigan still works a lot, but it's as a guest-star on other people's series or in TV-movies. Nothing really notable.

Another of the many shows I never saw when I suppose I should have been tuning in.
I've seen some episodes of MY TWO DADS in syndication, though. Good vehicle for Paul Reiser, I thought.

Staci Keanan is WAY cute.  She and I have the same birthday. She's 2 years younger.

I don't think she grew up to be all that attractive, myself. That ridiculous platinum blonde dye job doesn't help.

There were better pics on her IMDB profile, but those are a PITA to link to.

I saw her on that Suzanne Somers show a few times, all grown up. Not what I was hoping to see.

I was like, "WTF is your problem? It's BJ and the Goddamned Bear!" But no... You work in a cultural wasteland. And how was there never a BJ and the Bear/Dukes of Hazzard crossover?
