Barry Williams's ME TV Spots - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

PracTz · 07-20-2017, 01:50 PM

I guess it's a living to him but he's dressed as Greg Brady was as a 70's teen even having a 1970's TV set -yet here he is in his 60's in the year 2017!

He even wore an Alf costume then took it off and whined whether they could have used Cousin Oliver instead!

At least Vicki Lawrence's character is SUPPOSED to be an old woman so it makes sense that her character would be stuck behind the times and not as though she's forever trying to recapture her teen glory days.

What does Cousin Oliver have to do with an ALF costume?

I think it's cool! I think Barry Williams is doing a really good job as "The summer of me" Spokesman!

He's entertaining and funny!

The one where he talks to his parents is funny.

Yeah!! I think all his METV promos are funny!

I also liked when Mama did promos and Dawn Wells (MaryAnn from Gilligan's Island) did the Summer of me before! I wish the other oldie TV stations Antenna, Cozi and LOGO were as fun as METV!!

I remember those too. There are also ones with ALF and Bill Mumy from Lost In Space. Forget some of the others.

As one of the promotions, Barry Williams (Greg Brady) is dressed in an ALF costume. He is made to dance around looking like a complete fool. After the dance, he takes the head off of his costume and says to the audience, "why couldn't they have cousin Oliver do this?" He was simply making a joke.

Why?

It's not worth it. Its not specially terrible or wonderful.

MarshaMarshaMarsha · 07-21-2017, 09:23 PM

He's having fun doing it and making money too. He's one that seems proud to have been a part of the show, so good for him

. I'm not sure about the others.

I totally agree!

I think it's wonderful that he has good memories of playing Greg Brady! And wanted to do the promos for METV ! He seems like a nice guy with a good sense of humor!
