Just another failed 70’s child tv star

I was a child star of the 70's

Definitely NOT something I want to admit, but yes it’s true…I’m flooded with e-mails all the time from people that say “where do I know you from??? You look familiar…”.

Well for reasons that completely elude me to this day, I remember when my mom took me to see “The Champ”, back in the early 70’s. All because that kid made everyone cry with “Champ, wake up…” (Why the hell didn’t he call him “Dad”, anyway???!!??) my mother broke down and confessed to me that I could have been the next Ricky Schroder…(?). Well, it turned out that I was a child star during the seventies, and was too young to remember…

Here are some clips of shows I appeared in….

Yep, that’s your old CyberPal doing his first gig…the pilot for “The Brady Bunch“. I was the original Bobby, until Sherwood Schwartz decided that all the boys should be the same age as the corresponding sisters…

Out went Eric Brooks and in went Mike Lookinland…

Oh well, I ended up having hair of gold…like my step-mother a year later…


In a guest appearance on “Sanford & Son” an ex-girlfriend of Lamont’s pops in and surprises Fred with the news that he has a white grandchild…

NBC never aired this episode. They felt that TV wasn’t ready for this subject yet…

More pics coming soon….

A Tribute to Cartoon Redheads

Hey, what can I say…unless someone out there has the guts to admit the same problem…I must have been the most perverted kid out there. I don’t know if it can be attributed to being a sheltered, only-child, and not having the normal relationships with my peers, but yes…I was crazy about cartoon redheads as a kid…

Ok…. I still do.

They say you never forget your first love…mine was Daphne Blake from Scooby Doo. Come on look at her!!! Always wearing miniskirts, more money than God, and always being tied up by the bad guy…(I’ll refrain from telling you what that did for me…).

Then there’s Ariel…another toon babe!
Sure she’s only 16…
but then again Hans Christian Andersen made her that age, what, a couple of hundred years ago…?

So does that make me some kind of pedophile? I think not.

The way I see it…she’s always going to have that hourglass figure, and barely covering herself with those purple seashells long after my ungrateful kids ship me off to a nursing home…..

Besides she has a thing for guys named Eric…..

Just think about how fast George would
have made vice president if he had
offered
this to Mr. Spacely…
Exceptions to the rule:
  • Betty Rubble did it more for me than Wilma.
  • Melody was my favorite Pussycat over Josie.

Jessica Rabbit…the ultimate celluloid dreamgirl!

I searched all over the web for Jessica Rabbit clip art for this story…both of the pictures used were from porno sites…

In fact, with the four search engines I used, only two sites found weren’t pornographic….so maybe my weakness is a little more common than I thought…

In conclusion: I just have to share with you, my people… (who seem to love and care for me…no matter how bizarre I get!)…
We rented Scooby Doo on Zombie Island this week.

It was great to see Daphne again. After twenty-some-odd years she still looks great!

My wife (a Strawberry Blonde…coincidence?) elbows me to bring to my attention my 18-month old son.

Bottle in one hand…the other hand down his diaper….

– That’s my boy –
