Then that got me thinking—I think a lot when it comes to shallow things like TV and pseudo-celebrities—about how I really like it when new shows use old TV actors. I mean, why not? They’ve got experience. They’re hungry to work again. They’ve proven that they can make a show successful. And they probably won’t ask you to take all the yellow M&Ms out of the candy bowl in their trailer. They probably won’t even want a trailer. They’ll take a port-o-potty.
That’s why I was excited to see Pat back on the tube. And same goes for Mark Paul Gosselaar of Saved by the Bell fame and Rick Schroeder and Jason Bateman (BOTH Silver Spoons alums). And how ‘bout Doogie on one of my fave shows How I Met your Mother?
If I created a TV show this would be my cast:
Staci Keanan (cutie from My Two Dads and Step by Step)
Fred Savage (Duh. Plus, his show Crumbs didn’t last)
Lark Voorhies (The sassy Lisa Turtle on Saved by the Bell)
Lisa Dean Ryan (Wanda on Doogie. Hey, if he can get a hit show, why can’t she?)
Douglas Emerson (He was Scott on 90210, David Silver’s cowboy friend who was killed off in the second season. I just want to give him another chance because I bet he was so bummed to get the boot like that.)
Mayim Bialik (Blossom!) And while we’re at it, she should go ahead and bring along Jenna Von Oy (Six) for some comic relief. Okay, okay, she can bring Joey Lawrence too because really, what’s a TV show without a Lawrence brother?
They could all play thirty-somethings who hang out together in apartments they could never afford. I know; it’s been done but we’ll make it original. Hey, we’ve got the perfect cast!
And if we can somehow squeeze in a part for Keisha Knight Pulliam (a.k.a. Rudy Huxtable who's a hottie now) like a sexy neighbor or wise bar tender, that would be good.
Yep, I think it's gonna be a hit and we've got this guy to thank for it.
No, Patrick. I'm not gonna share my profits with you. Although there will be a lot considering these guys come cheap!
