Kim and Mindy on the John Davidson Show in 1982

[80s Dude]

Kim and Mindy plus Adam Rich and Glenn Scarpelli appear on the John Davidson (of That's Incredible fame) Show in 1982. FYI: Kim and Mindy put on a very cringe worthy singing performance at the end.

So cute!

You know, watching this interview with Mindy, I can see exactly why Charlotte wanted her for the show, just three years earlier. She is just a firecracker!

The "Friendship" skit is like getting another Nat/Toot Eastland play! I bet Nancy O was cheering them on from the audience! "The play really needs you!"

My takes on the John Davidson episode.

Can't he or the producers find some younger males who Mindy would see as heart throbs? Robert Redford and Paul Newman would not have been considered to be heart throbs in this era. Scott Baio, Jimmy Baio, Harrison Ford, John Ritter, Michael Jackson, Sean Cassidy, Andy Gibb from this era would have been the heart throbs most teen girls at this time would have recognized.

I wonder if Glenn Scarpelli knew he was gay at this time in his life? 40 years later, he and Mindy are as close now as they appeared there.

Mindy does seem a lot like Natalie. She wears the same style of clothes that she did on Facts.

Why pressure Kim on dates? She just turned 13 years old. I doubt Kim's mother would have allowed her to date then.

Adam Rich must have really been small then if he is shorter than Kim and he is 7 months older than Kim.

I think the guy didn't know much about teenage heartthrobs. He must not have been reading Tiger Beat.

I love that these friendships lasted decades. You know these people were genuinely good to each other when their friendships last so long. "It's friendship, friendship, just the perfect blendship!"

Great observation! That sweater was sooo Natalie!

I think he didn't know Kim's age. He thought she was in high school. She was playing older on the show.

Adam Rich must have really been small then if he is shorter than Kim and he is 7 months older than Kim.

I just googled it, and his adult height is 5 ft 4 in, the same height as Michael J Fox.
