Have been getting my hands on more media recently.  I use about any place to pick up movies.  One place was TSC (Tractor Supply Company) with a 10 pack DVD that included Cloak & Dagger (Atari commercial/espionage).  Jamie's Flea Market is another great pick with a verity of vendors. Sadly the one I tend to choose is our Public Library.  The thing about our public library is some of the protective cases have a tendency to scratch the DVD's with bad molding techniques.
         Last week I picked up a copy of BOSOM BUDDIES.  It had that 80's sitcom feeling.  More then I knew.  After watching an episode I figured out what appealed to me.  Bosom Buddies 1980 IMDB It is a Robert L. Boyett, Thomas L. Miller and (?) Christ Thompson (The fourth Stooge?).  
The leads go to a lot of people.  Recently I figured out that "EXTRAS"  make a movie.  Usually I only cared about top billed stars (What a fool I was).  I really will not get into all the actors in this show.  I will focus on four (actually I would like to say "five." Joe Mantenga plays a Shiek in a gambling episode and has the funniest line).  Peter Scolari, Wendy Jo Sperber, Thelma Hopkins, Tom Hanks.  
        Wendy Jo Sperber played the role of Linda McFly (George's daughter from Back To The Future BTTF).  Wendy is hilarious in this series, but she wears these long sweater dresses (?) that I feel I am watching Facts Of Life.
        Tom Hanks had too much fun on this show.  I wish I could say more.  He really killed the part of a Hippie in an episode of the second season (That was the only season on the shelf) for a five year High School Reunion. It was inevitable that the show was to be cancelled.  I believe the whole show was the premise for the movie Sorority Boys.
        Thelma Hopkins seems to enjoy the show as well.  There is still a twinkle to her appearance but she seems to be outside of the circle.  It's kind of like watching Aunt Rachael's (Family Matters Television show) college years.  Her character has better lines in Family Matters which is a great improvement.
         Finally Peter Scolari.  Originally I noticed him in the Television series Honey I Shrunk The kids.  The Television show had just about enough chance as Bosom Buddies.  The show has opportunity, but it can easily lose scope.  In Bosom Buddies a lot of events only occurred once. A female will be in one episode and in the next it was like she never existed.  This was also present in Honey I Shrunk The Kids.  Peter Scolari looks different from his Bosom Buddies days.  If you watch the show or have seen it.  Peter seems very athletic, but compared to Honey I Shrunk The Kids his character is suppose to be an all day inventor.  In fact in the movie Honey I Shrunk The Kids the character has a chance to go outside.  Unwilling to chance to crushing the children in the lawn he constructs a  floating-rotating hammock.  His one chance at exercise becomes hammock rest. Peter Scolari really does bring out his character, demeanor, jokes, immaturity, and awful ideas.
