Did anyone else see a young Todd Bridges in Part 6 of Roots last night? He played the great great grandson of Kunta Kinte.

This miniseries aired in January 1977 and was filmed in 1976, 2 years before Diff'rent Strokes began.

If you missed it, Saturday beginning at 12pm Eastern, Roots will be on, and The Hallmark Channel will show all 6 hrs. Part 6 will be on Saturday night at 9pm Eastern.

That's a bit of an unfair statement.

Well the has been Michael Landon let young Todd appear in "The Wisdom of Soloman" on Little House on The Prairie.

And as mentioned that dingbat Alex Haley let him be on Roots, which as Tommy Heinsohn said in his book, was Superb Literature as well as a Right Bobbly Dazzler of a Movie.

And that bum Jesu Christe that is in the Latin Jesus Christ let Todd be in:

The Kingdom Of The Lord

Yep Todd got Saved.

Amen.

Oh Jeff Disclaimer Please:

Right Robert:

The use of the term "has been" and all other adjectives is solely intended for the use of sarcasm in illustrating the point that though Todd Bridges's actions were iatrogenic (due to Himself), he was as Brady Bunch is:

Goody Good to the System; yea and even the Digestive Tract, the Sigmoid Colon and Intestines, etc. Meaning Robert:

Meaning you can enjoy a good meal while watching Todd's acting, unlike that Dhrosaphilia known as Modern Sitcom Acting.

Thank you Robert.

And the best part of it all is:

Todd Bridges Got Saved.

Amen.

I'm not being a wise guy or pushing buttons, Sof. I really do wonder what goes through ones mind when they decide to insult a peson and go on to post that insult so as to share it with others? I' m not aslking you to repeat your opinon about Todd Bridges I'm asking in a general sense.
