Worrapile o'crap that was, and yet I used to watch it every week. :D 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... :ohyes: )

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 :D

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...

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.

You work in a cultural wasteland.

And how was there never a BJ and the Bear/Dukes of Hazzard crossover?

Sheriff Lobo vs. Roscoe P. Coltrane - Who'd win? The viewers.
