Was on before "I Married Dora" on Friday nights in...1987! Loved the big for Paul sported, was sorry to see it go...he also did good work on "Facts of Life" briefly as the administrator of some type of shelter I think (which didn't always have a payroll from its employees). The best part of this show was Wendel Meldrum as the shy Margaret Callahan. The show was finally getting good (Paul and her were about to realize they had Chemistry)...and I agree, Brian Keith was wasted here. Maybe after such a full career he wanted a role where he could coast, because using him as the obligatory curmudgeon only was indeed a waste. Loved that Paul drew his pep talk-inspiration from a pre-HIV-revealed Magic Johnson - a guy who was always and will always be likable for his great personality.

This concert was a lot like the shows - low budget! It was a scream. There were so many gaffes and goofs that you could not help love this if you liked any of the shows a little bit. I had no problem with this. Thrown together? Poorly planned? You bet it was! I really felt for Johnny Whittaker, who did his absolute best and still pulled off the song despite getting the mike cord caught and everything. His expression was priceless! Looked like he wanted to throw up. Everything that went wrong still got done, all the numbers were finished, the audience was still there. This must have been one of the cheapest production numbers of all time. What were the clothes the Brady kids wore made out of, z-grade tarp strung together with paste?
