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

This is a kid from Newark, New Jersey. It sounded a bit unbelievable that he of all people would be a fan of Jerry Reed.

Who's Jerry Reed?

Ireneparalegal · 05-31-2007, 10:42 PM

This is the same kid who told his mom he looks at Playboy.

He is/was a country singer.

Ya never know, it was the 70s, and even some folks in the northeast like country music.

catlover79, Jerry Reed was a country singer and actor, who was very popular in the 70s.

It is very rare, there just aren't many stations that play country. It was more disco or rock and roll.

Before my time.

Thanks guys, for enlightening me.

TALLguyinKY · 05-31-2007, 10:48 PM

Oh yeah, I know country fans aren't as abundant in the northeast as in other parts of the country, but I've heard of some fans up there who hate it there are only 1 or 2 (if any, now) country music stations.

Plus, maybe Tommy saw some of the "Smokey and the Bandit" movies with Jerry in 'em, and Tommy does seem like the type of 13 year-old boy who would find "When Your'e Hot You're Hot" hilarious, LOL.

Good point, this episode was in 1978, when did the Bandit movie come out?

The film came out in 1977, so it would have been topical.

Thanks, I guess it would make sense then.

TALLguyinKY · 05-31-2007, 10:54 PM

"Bandit" was '77 (II was '80, and III was '83).

Oh sure, you say Jerry Reed is before your time, but you know the "Bandit" film came out two years before you were born!

(assuming you were born in '79 going by your screenname that is, lol)

Yes, I was born in '79, but I looked up the release date of the movie on imdb.com.

I love your Janice avatar...the Muppets rule!

Lol...

And thanks, I love Janice and the Muppets!

Hey Brian, another thought---"Bandit" came out in '77, and Alice and Tommy "broke down" in Phoenix in '76. So maybe bein' out west in Phoenix he was exposed to country music including Jerry Reed. So he could have become a fan, and got all excited when "Bandit" came out and got to see it there in Phoenix...and suddenly I realize I'm writing more fan-fiction about "Alice" than I should. LOL!
