Was watching GL on N@N and heard George say he had a CATM Lunchbox when he was in grade school and was telling his mom not to throw it out

LOL

Freddie Prinze was George's idol. He still is. He comments now and then how Freddie Prinze opened the doors for people like George.

How old is GL?

Ireneparalegal · 12-29-2007, 05:50 PM

He was born in 1961. That makes him 46.

Well that means his age didn't match his comment about CATM because he would have been in 8th grade when CATM premeired in 74 and would not have been taking a lunchbox to school at 13-lol Would he??

Technically, no. Of course George probably just shuffled around with the characters age to fit whatever comment he made. I get annoyed when I notice things like that.

Well, it wouldn't make sense. I can see George holding on to a CATM lunchbox after all those years, but not a t-shirt.

That is a neat reference. I have no idea if they had CATM lunchboxes back then. I do know G Lo is my age so yeah he would've been too old for a lunchbox back then lol. I am so glad he loves Freddie too...

8th grade is not too old for a lunchbox?-lol

I'm just thrilled that George paid a much deserved tribute to Freddie Prinze in some small way. George is a loyal fan like the rest of us. I appreicate his efforts to help keep Freddie's memory alive.

Joy · 01-01-2008, 08:37 PM

it would be cool if there was such a lunch box i'd love to see one!

Ireneparalegal · 01-01-2008, 09:12 PM

I remember the CATM lunchboxes. I haven't seen one available online but there are many retro lunchboxes like Petticoat Junction, Family Affair, Scooby Doo, etc.
