Yes, that was a pretty good show. I wondered what would have became of the main characters by their senior years. Maybe we would have seen "Freaks and Geeks, the college years" by 2004.
* A freind of mine lived in San Francisco in the '70s. He tended bar at a place owned by the head of the local branch of SAG. Andy Robinson frequented the place and my freind got to know him. It turned out he regretted taking the role in Dirty Harry as it type casted him.
I didn't know that. I remember him as a detective in the movie Cobra with Sly Stallone in 1986. He played a by-the-book cop who didn't agree with Stallone's vigilante methods. Besides that, I don't remember seeing him in anything else.
Also, I heard of a show named "California Fever" with Jimmy McNichol(Kristy's older brother) that came out on CBS in 1979. However, it bombed, only lasting about three months. I was thinking, what if they would have had that show on another network, like ABC, around 1977, and had it be a little more realistic(in the 79 show, the characters were teens, but you never saw their parents, and you never saw them go to school at all) but with the same premise that the 79 show had(cars, the beach, girls, disco, etc..)?
Also:
1. What if Saturday Night Fever flops? Does disco die earlier?
2. What if Mickey Rooney played Archie in All in the Family instead of Carroll O'Connor? Also, what if Harrison Ford didn't turn down the role as Mike "Meathead" Stivic because he thought Archie's bigotry was too offensive?
3. What if Dennis Quaid would have gotten the part of Luke Duke in the Dukes of Hazzard instead of Tom Wopat?
4. In the movie Police Academy, what if Bruce Willis, Tom Hanks, Michael Keaton, or Judge Reinhold would have played the part of Mahoney? Also, what if Motormouth Jones wouldn't have been in the film(his character, played by Michael Winslow, wasn't in the original script).
