Tommy was a fan of Jerry Reed?!? - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I wasn't a fan of country music, but he was well-known in the movies and hanging with Burt Reynolds and so forth. It's all abt who is popular at the moment, and Jerry Reed was just that, popular.

However, they made it look like Tommy was into Jerry Reed as a musician. I could see if Tommy mentioned the Smokey movies or something. I don't believe that Tommy liked him for the music. Unless Alice played that music A LOT.

If Alice played the music as much as she SANG, it's a distinct possibility.

True.

The fact that Jerry Reed appeared on Alice shows that he was popular at the time. You can usually tell from watching old shows who was popular at the time by the special guests they have on a show.

It is great to look back at some of these guest appearances and wonder, "Who the heck is that?!?"

I know for me, it's a no-brainer, I know who they are, but yeah, for someone who may be lots younger than me may scratch their head and say, "Who the hell is that?"

He wasn't. He was just another country/comedy performer from the 70's that nowadays, most younger people would say "Who's that?"

I became a big Ray Stevens fan when I was a kid!

I listened to the albums of his I had over and over and over again---he's terrific! The country version of Weird Al!

I remember "I Need Your Help, Barry Manilow".

The only reason I ever heard of Ray Stevens is because of informercials on TBS.

He had two very popular songs which are vastly different from each other. "The Streak"...a funny song; and "Everything is beautiful" a song that I remember in a commercial, but can't remember which one.

I've not seen this episode of Alice, but I want to.

On the subject of guest stars, I was 20 yrs old in 1998 and saw a 227 rerun. The studio audience goes crazy when Marvin Haggler comes in the door, but those watching with me had to tell me who he was.
