Default Last Night I found out for the first time that a certain person made a guest

appearance more than once.

Until last night, I never ever knew that Kareem Abdul Jabbar appeared in the last season. I thought he only appeared when he accidently knocked Arnold on the floor

So the reason for this maybe

1. I missed this episode on my local station
2. I didn't watch DS when it aired on N@N
3. I was at work when DS aired on TNN


So last night was a surprise seeing Kareem Adbul Again

Yeah, he started off as the substitute teacher. Then he became the full time teacher. In one of his episodes, he assigned Arnold to teach the class on "A Tale Of Two Cities" I remember in that episode, he showed up at the Drummond penthouse and he TOWERED over Mr. D.

And then he penalizes arnold for goofing off in class but when the other students are goofing off when Arnold tries to teach he just sits there and does nothing

I didn't blame Arnold for storming out of the class. His friends were being such buttholes. Even Lisa refused to answer his questions, and she LOVES to give out the right answer in class.

He also made a guest appearance on Full House for some kind of basketball charity thing.

The Full House episode with Kareem aired today or yesterday, I think on Nick at Nite.

I do remember Kareem being in the episode where Arnold was the substitute teacher. I remember watching that episode when it was on, I think in syndication, whenever that was.

I'm shocked! I thought you knew. I didn't see the ep on Antenna TV but I know which one you are talking about. I actually saw that one on ABC back in 1985 when I was 8. Then I saw it again on NAN in 2001. I taped the NAN version.
