I'll be very upset if there's not a re-enactment of the ep where Arnold and Dudley went to the toys store.

And I need to see Sam!

Does anyone know why this didn't air in Rochester, NY? Some Ellen Degeneres special was on instead. DId that happen anywhere else?

I don't know why this didn't air in Rochester, NY but I taped it (so I thought) and settled down to watch it last night and something else was taped. I was not happy!

I THOUGHT IT WAS EXCELLENT.IT WAS KIND OF TOUCHING AT THE END WHEN YOU SEE THE ACTORS WHO ARE PLAYING GARY AND TODD AT DANA PLATO'S GRAVE,AND THEN THEY TURN INTO THE REAL PEOPLE.I REALLY LIKED THAT.DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS WILL AIR AGAIN?

[–] chesterrodney 18 years ago

If they don't get high ratings with the movie. They will not rerun it again. You may see a rerun of it on some other cable channel like VH1 or Bravo, or some cable channel like those. Bravo I think is owned by NBC, so they might show a rerun of the movie soon.

i got really confused....is gary coleman gay?...who was that guy who became his manager/friend at the end?

[–] river9925-1 18 years ago

I thought this movie was fairly well done. The actor who played Conrad Bain pulled it off in a cartoonish way..
I had to laugh when Todd's Mom walked in on him having sex with Dana. She throws her out and when he protests "Mom I'm naked get out" she says "It's not anything I have not seen before." No wonder he was messed up..
A little campy, but enjoyable.
I'd like to see a follow up with Gary and Dion in a realty show.

[–] chesterrodney 18 years ago

A reality show on Gary and Dion would be so funny. Gary is funny anyway, he's always so mad and uptight all the time. After seeing this movie, I really felt sorry for him. He was done wrong and had to put up with all the sickness while being almost forced to do the show. But he is a funny person to listen too and watch.

That scene where he was working as a security guard and the lady asked him for an autograph. And writes something I can't say here. Then she asks him to write something nice. And Gary hits her. I fell out laughing! That was so funny. I remember when that really happened, I remember seeing it on the news. Gary even went as far as jumping on the lady's car hood. And wouldn't get off. He is just too funny. A reality show on Gary would be great.
