I finally got to watch...... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'm about 10 years behind the rest of ya...but I finally got to watch Million Dollar Rip-Off! I found it on hulu.com and was very impressed. Not only was Freddie FABULOUS in it...but the story line was actually pretty clever and well written. But....I have a question...and am wondering if anyone else caught it. During the opening sequence when you see Muff in the subway district...there's a man crossing the street who looks a lot like Tony Orlando. I was wondering if maybe he had a small walk-on part. Did anyone else see it?

It is a great movie and I thought Freddie showed he could have been a wonderful dramatic actor if he had lived long enough to show all his true talent.

When I was a child I remember, I used to watch Chico and the Man for it was one of my fave TV show from the 70s. Jack Albertson and Freddie Prinze has the best chemistry on screen that’s why there’s no doubt that this show was admired by a lot of viewers all around America. This also the main reason why I always love Friday nights because watching this show is kinda addictive. It’s an awesome sitcom that shows the importance of friendship with a good sense of humor from all episodes. It was a dark moment when fans of this show found out about Freddie unwanted and tragic death. He committed suicide at a very young age; I guess he’s just 22 back then. I won’t elaborate more on that part.
This TV series is one of his biggest appearances on television and it reminds me how great actor he was. I admit that after so many years, I’m still watching it from the DVD collection I bought from yourdvdcorner . com. Having my own collection from the whole 4 seasons of this show brings back the good laughs and it’s nice to see Jack and Freddie on screen once more. Great series.

Oh wow, I'm not sure if I saw this movie or not

My memory for movies is the worst (unless they're black&white movies). If I remember "these old guys robbing banks" I'm doing good!

I'd look on Hulu but it seriously crashes on my connection (but I'm a gonna hunt it down and take it home and hug it and squeeze it and name it George)

Hi chicosladyfair - I'm so glad you got to see Million Dollar Rip Off. I loved it so much that I bought it on DVD a month or so ago and watch it almost weekly. Freddie was great as Muff Kovack!!
