More later

MariposaLKB · 04-07-2001, 09:07 AM

Yeah, didn't someone say elsewhere on this board that this was the episode which aired the night he shot himself? And in this show he seemed so much his old self, so alive!!! I may cry now when I watch my tape!

Pitooey · 04-07-2001, 12:48 PM

Tell us more!

Cheryl Harrell · 04-07-2001, 02:04 PM

That is so sad. I'll have to re-watch it & look for that.

I had something weird happen to me after watching todays episode. This morning after my hubby got up, I was up for a bit before going back to bed. We were in the living room & started talking about Chico & Freddie & I was telling him about todays episode & how good it was. I told him it's a shame how Freddie died & told him I'd never seen the movie of his life (CAN YA HEAR THE LAUGHTER). Right then, I heard 2 knocks on the wall of our house. My hubby heard it too & looked looking on on his face like what in the world & we both looked at each other real strange. This really weird creepy scary feeling came over me as if it could've been Freddie. I'm not superstitious or anything. I'll read stories of people who claim to have seen the ghosts of dead people & wonder if it's true or not... Anyway, I wondered if it was Freddie.

But if it was, I wonder why he'd pick my house to visit. I always loved the show ever since the first episode, but never was in love with him back then or collected on him then. & Now that the show is back on TVLAND I've gotten into it in a big way & think he's cute! Well, I wondered if maybe if I tried to talk to him if it was him, he'd answer & that would tell me if it was him or not. I know it's silly to do that but I tried it anyway. I said HI to him & how much I enjoyed todays show & that folks still loved him. I got no answer tho. But I felt really weird & nervous for along time & got this weird feeling that he's up in heaven & at peace now. But that was strange anyway... God bless you Chico-Freddie...

Pitooey · 04-07-2001, 06:45 PM

I really believe the spirit of Freddie is with us. He's at peace now but, I feel there will be a big Freddie resurgence because he has a famous actor son right now. Young gals everwhere are in tune with Freddie Jr., so they will be interested in knowing the Senior better. I hope Freddie Sr. is never forgotten again! He was a gift from GOD who left us too early.

Sorry If I doubled up on my posts!

JennyLee, do not be sorry that you double-posted. Your posts are very well-written, and come from the heart! That goes for everyone on this board! I love this place..this board and my 2am West Coast time Chico tapings make my day! I love knowing that other people adore the Prinze as much as I do!

More book questions for flannelpjs if that's O.K. I was wondering what sort of social background he came from. Was he from a middle-class family or were there financial struggles? What did his parents do for a living? And of course, most importantly, was he an adorable baby? Are there pix of him as a child and growing up?

Flora · 04-08-2001, 12:19 AM

Hi, Cheryl,

If Freddie's been visiting Virginia, I hope he drops by my house, too! :-)

At the risk of sounding like a telephone psychic, I think spirits can be "stirred" by a lot of people thinking about them. Sometimes I'll be thinking about someone I knew (or knew about) who might have died long ago. There isn't any particular reason -- they just pop into my head. I believe the spirit is probably nearby whenever that happens.

Incidentally, last week I had a dream where I was doing a vaudeville number with Ed Brown, so I think Jack Albertson may be looking in on us, too!

Tracy-Prinze · 04-08-2001, 01:05 AM

hey flan,
the book sounds great. i am still waiting for mine. the book is on the way. i can't wait to read and look at those cute pictures.
hey danni, i see you don't live too far from me.

Cheryl Harrell · 04-08-2001, 02:21 AM

Even stranger yet, I went back to bed & I dreamed of Freddie Prinze. I'm not really sure what the dream was about but he had on his bellbottom jeans & belt he wore on the show & it showed him from the waist up. He came to me & said HI & told me he was okay now in heaven & at peace now. I don't remember too much of it. My hubby now thinks I have a thing for Chico-Freddie. LOL! But he told it was okay if I did since he loves Rosie O'Donnell. He promised me he wouldn't tell my singer friend Arlo that I've been intrigued with Chico lately which is good cuz if Arlo knew this he's be so hurt. But Arlo knows I really love him.

Hey guys, okay here goes... Freddie came from a working parents background his father was a tool and dye maker, he worked at night his mother worked in a factory making shoes i think... He convinced him mother to let him work in the factory with her to earn some money.. He broke some machinery there twice and he loved to talk.. He worked hard for his cash for a guitar and drums etc. He knew how to convince his mother pretty good.. He was very ambitious kind of a hard childhood being picked on inthe lunch room he'd cry because he was lonely and felt he did't fit in.. He claimed in an interview his childhood helpled him become the man he became... Yes there are baby pictures he was surrounded by a lot of love by his mothers side of the family..Lots of aunts and uncles, cousins fighting to hold him, feed him he was never alone and there was never a lack of love in his family.
