Anything But That...
It's been such a long time since I updated this thing, but it doesn't matter, I'm not going to post some huge comeback story (maybe, just maybe I'll get back to my retro games column).
No, the only reason I am updating this is because I am sitting at the library wasting time until I can go home (No, I didn't skip class!).
So I'm perusing TVshowsonDVD.com to see if there are any new TV DVDs coming out soon (there aren't). I'm just about to click off of this page when I see some cover art in the corner for a TV show called Anything But Love (which premiered in 1989 on ABC, I think). The name sounds fucking terrible, but then I catch it...The "it" was a view of Richard Lewis' mug from the 80s.
The spark of familliarity lights my memory ablaze, the other person on the cover? Jamie Lee Curtis. Now I definitely remember this show! Not because of the plot or anything else, but I remember it because I knew Jamie Lee Curtis from Halloween (yeah, I watched R rated movies when I was like 6, you wanna fight about it?) and recognized Richard Lewis because I always thought his face looked like it was made out of Leather. I was nine at the time, remember.
Ok, fine, the only reason I recognized the show's DVD box at all is because I STILL think Richard Lewis looks like his face is made of leather...
I remember that my parents watched this show the night before my last day of fourth grade (I think it was on Wednesday nights) and I was drawing a comic strip for my teacher (Yes, I was a total suck up, and NO I will not tell you what the comic was, I am way too embarassed to speak of it. Let's just say it involved a family of anthropomorphic body parts and leave it at that).
I got sick the next day, however, and was unable to go to school (or my classmate's planned "Bloody Mary" party, God, I can't believe some of the shit we used to do back then).
I can't be certain that Richard Lewis's creepy leather face was to blame for my being sick.
