In the season 4 episode Bobby's Hero i wonder why bobby did not think to choose clint eastwood back in the 1970's as his favorite hero he was a pretty popular actor back then every kid wanted to be him.

i was a kid in the 70's and I didn't know ANY kids that wanted to be like Clint, even when his best friend was an orangutan.

I wanted to be like Fonzie, B.J. and the Bear and the Dukes of Hazzard - YEEEEHAAAAAWWWR!!!!

They wanted to have a lesson taught to Bobby, so they picked a "hero" who was a killer in real life (as opposed to just an actor), just to teach Bobby a lesson about heroes.

Clint Eastwood played some cool roles, but he was just an actor.

Plus, it got Burt Mustin a job.

Bobby did have other heroes on the show. They were all athletes. For example Joe Namath who Bobby (with Cindy's help) went to extreme measures to meet.

All the heroes that bobby thought were cool were psycho lol

This is a landmark Brady Bunch episode!

The originally script called for Bobby to worship a Skyjacker, but the network said no that would be "too real." I wonder who that person was? DB Cooper comes to mind, and is the only one I can think of at the time.

I am guessing you never saw the 1989 movie Back To The Future part 3 marty was a 17 year old kid in the film somebody said what his name was he told them clint eastwood lol, a whole bunch of boys back in the 1970's wanted to be clint eastwood, clint eastwood killed but only for self protection.

Yes, I saw Back To The Future 3 when it was released in the theaters, and now own it on Blu Ray. But that is a movie, not real life. So, bad example. Nice try though.
