Welcome to the site! Hope you'll hang out on here! It's a fun place! We love your dad too! He is soooo cute!

Hope you can get him to hang out on here more cuz we enjoy having him on here. He wrote me once. Haven't heard back from him but I bet he is very busy. I was just thrilled to hear from him!

Your dad & Chico were the 2 cutest folks on the show! They were both HOT!

Too bad you weren't around when the show was on. That was so much fun back then (as long as you weren't in high school). Hope you got to see the TVLAND re-runs. They were so much fun. Anyway, have fun on the site & tell dad HI for us!

MaNdOSoNeFaN · 10-26-2002, 06:41 AM

It will be an honor being able to talk to all of you. I know I will fit right in.

You all are so polite and very welcoming. Thank you, I appreciate that. I will tell my dad you all said hello. I'll tell him to come on here more often. hehe

I will get pictures of him asap on my computer so You can see them. He is happy and honored that he knows he has fans like you. It even puts a smile...no wait.. a huge grin on my face. well, i will talk to you all later on. *mUaH*

But, your POPs was a happening man in his day......... & He's still a happening man today. I can't wait for him to come on here and talk to us. You tell him that I'm a huge fan Y dirle que yo hablo espanol..... El todavia esta muy GUAPO.................

kathy59 · 10-26-2002, 04:14 PM

Welcome, Deborah! This is a great site. Everyone is so nice. Your Dad was a big part of my teen years, since "Chico and the Man" was my favorite show. You can be very proud of him! Take care and have fun with this site! Kathy F.

Hello Deborah!!

We are fans of both Freddie and your dad. From what I've read time and time again, they were very good friends and had become friends during the "Chico and the Man" audition. It must be very cool for you to know that your dad had been involved in film and television.

Welcome aboard Deborah and come back soon!

MaNdOSoNeFaN · 10-26-2002, 06:04 PM

Yah, my dad isn't a big fan of computers. Thats okay, I will get him to. It's weird and kinda neat hearing how you think he is cute.

But how are all of you doing? I hope you believe me that I really am his daughter. well, one of his daughters. hehe. I'm the baby of the family. I am my dad's Deb-O-Gee.

I have been wanting to see him, I got him a present. It's a dancing and singing james brown doll. My dad loves james brown so I had to get it for him. He will laugh when he sees it.

Danisel331 · 10-26-2002, 11:51 PM

Hi!

I'm about one of the last ones here I see.

That's me! Always late! LOL Well, Welcome aboard!

Actually I'm closer to your age as I wasn't around yet when the show was on either, but I'm learning things all the time. You're gonna love the family we have here! Guaranteed!

Oh! And those James Brown dolls are so hilarious! I saw one in a store a while back. We played and cracked up with it the whole time! LOL

MaNdOSoNeFaN · 10-27-2002, 12:08 AM

thank you all for being sooo polite and nice to me. it makes me feel reall good. i know i will fit right in with all of you. one thing that was funny, is whenever we would go on a family trip ... lets say... california.. someone would ALWAYS recognize my dad and sayyy "BUTTCH" (my dad's nickname) im like geez dad aren't we mr. popular! haha. he is on the phone more than I am. at my age I should be the one being on the phone all the time. haha i wonder if I would have any chance to become an actress more since my dad was in the bizz. Again, if you guys want any info I will answer questions as much as I can. Like 2+2 and i will say 5 oops i mean 4 hehe. see you all later.

Luckymama58 · 10-27-2002, 08:25 AM

Welcome! It is great to have you. We have found that CATM has attracted young and not so young alike. I am from the era when the show was on originally. I was in highschool and college at the time. Your dad seems like a really nice guy. We really like him around here too! Thanks for becoming a part of our little family here.

Cheryl Harrell · 10-27-2002, 09:47 AM

Cool! I think your dad will like the doll! He sounds like a real hoot!

Actually even tho I watched CATM back in the 70's I am a newer fan of CATM/Freddie/Mando. I watched the show back then but wasn't into Freddie. Strange huh? Then when I found out it was gonna be shown again on TVLAND I decided to watch it cuz I hadn't seen it since it'd be taken off the air in '78. Watched the marathon & started watching the show & eventually Freddie made me love him & I got into him. Then I started noticing Mando & think he's cute & cool too now! It's funny how you can see something & not really go nuts for it & only think it's okay & good but not really hot & then yrs later Bang! You really get hooked & wonder where you were yrs ago.

Hopefully you can get dad more into puters. It's cool reading what he says on the sites. I bet he is from the old school like I am where you just didn't get into the puters cuz we're still trying ot adjust to the new techology & still love the old technology. I still have my 8-track tapes LOL! I found out I had to have the internet tho in order to keep up with my favorite stars as they just aren't in magazines etc these days & the puter is the only way to find out about them. Anyway have fun on the site!

Hi Deb,
Welcome to the boards. You will like hanging around here because everyone is so nice. Even though this board is dedicated to our handsome Freddie Prinze...we also are fans
of your dad's. Any friend of Freddie's is a friend of ours. Freddie was known for his great taste and from what we have read, admired your father very much. I'm glad they we're friends.

hue_mee · 10-27-2002, 03:02 PM
