I am only familiar with the cast because they did 3 crossovers with different strokes. So after seeing them on DS I was interested in seeing them without the drummonds. The highlight of the show is the OBESE radio engineer who everyone makes fun of lol The father larry is a radio show host for a local portland radio station who is divorced living with his two daughters

The two daughters are boring and average looking. Without the engineer the engineer this show would be a D-. He makes it a C-

What grade did you give Chico and the Man?

Not sure if I gave it a grade but I was surprised that it ranked so high the first season. But I did enjoy the set because of the reasons below

Mrs roper and felipe making a guest appearance from threes company
The guy who played ed brown having dancing and singing skills
Chico making a reference to sanford and son
Bookman appearance from Good times

I was thinking you would know who the Hello Larry cast was since they was on DS 3 times unless your local station skipped those eps. But they were all in the 70's so its probably easy not to remember who the cast was.

Yeah, I’ve seen that, but they make me nervous. They only ask for checks or Amazon gift certificates as payment, and have NEVER answered my emails.

I’ll go start a separate thread asking about them so as to not hijack this one. Enjoy Hello Larry.

No one here answered my post about buying from them, which isn’t a good sign, because people here are the type to buy stuff like that.



You should buy something like What’s Happening Now from them

and then let me know if you get ripped off or not :wave:
