Here was the cast of "A Whole New Ballgame" from imdb.com Series Complete credited cast) Corbin Bernsen ... Brett Sooner Julia Campbell ... Meg O'Donnell Richard Kind ... Dwight Kling Stephen Tobolowsky ... Dr. Warner Brakefield Kari Coleman ... Libby Desoto John O'Hurley ... Tad Sherman Shashawnee Hall ... Mickey Pat Millicano ... Pat I had no idea Richard Kind was in the show. Oh, and the same guy who Directed "Coach" also directed this show, Barry Kemp.

NeedMoreFans, I think the amusement park shown on the Step by Step intro is Six Flags: Magic Mountain because there is a major coastline by the roller coaster. The folks at ABC should have done more research on creating the show because it is so inaccurate of the way they portrayed everything. Like when Cody left and they brought in Bronson Pinchot as Carol's hairstylist friend, there was one episode where Fabio hires him to cut his hair. I am like saying to myself, "Why in the world would Fabio come to Port Washington to get his hair cut when he probably has his own guy in LA or something?" I know it is just a TV show, but it was not at all realistic. There was an extremely short lived sitcom (like 3 or 4 episodes) with Corbin Bernsen starring as a sports anchor for a Milwaukee TV station.

Here is how I would have answered the question: "The state of American education today is lagging due to budget cuts in curriculums across the country. In my experience, the reason why 1/5th of Americans can't locate the U.S. on the map is because the students did not seem to pay attention in social studies courses in elementary school. The key for Americans to become more adept at their surroundings is people need to start learning at a younger age and the education system of America needs to continue to uphold or reiterate these early teachings throughout middle and high school. Because the standard or norm is that kids tend to forget what they have learned in prior years of schooling. So it needs to be taught at a more intense pace."

20fry, wow and I thought Kelsey Grammer had the record for playing a character the longest, well he does with just two shows. That is another fact, Frasier Crane is the only character to appear in every episode in Cheers AND every episode of Frasier. Here is another tidbit, when the Simpsons spoofed "Cheers" in an episode where Homer tries to find a new bar and winds up at Cheers, all of the characters said at least one word, except Frasier. The reason is because Kelsey Grammer voiced Sideshow Bob and they didn't want to confuse the voices too much.

It is pretty sad knowing we only have ONE hitter batting above .300 right now in Ryan Braun. Brauny, send your team a message tonight by blasting a few out onto Waveland!

Woogie or any admin's, can you take out the @ symbol and replace it with "at?" I hate to be nitpicky, but it gets annoying when I see the URL as the title of the topic on the forums page.

Its funny how they base shows in Wisconsin and everytime they mention sports, the Brewers are never even mentioned. Wasn't Laverne and Shirley's a 70's based TV show? How come they never mentioned the Brewers even when they worked at a brewery? I remember in ER (non-sitcom), a patient's girlfriend mentioned Racine once.

About MapsforUs.org is the online home, where people can donate maps to the citizens of the United States. From South Africa to Iraq, the world is alarmed at the recent polls that show a fifth of Americans can't locate the US on a world map. We personally believe that it a crisis of epic proportions that US Americans are unable to do so, because some people out their in our nation don't have maps. And we believe that our education, like such as in South Africa and the Iraq everywhere…like. Such as. And we believe you should donate maps to this cause.

According to the Racine Journal-Times (link not available, but it is in print edition), Vinny Rottino will be called up by Saturday's game against Pittsburgh. Rottino did not comment on the call-up after Journal-Times reporters contacted him. Rottino was notified by Frank Kremblas yesterday of the move.

How about this clip from Police Academy, no one turns down a Police Academy clip:

From the Apathy Thread: They say that we are losers And perhaps that may be true Since we don't have a lot of wins And my interests are few We are not a worldly team Well versed in winning So we prefer to stay at home Than go on the road to win We don't go to the playoffs Or places where good teams play And we haven't had a winning season in years Afraid to take a chance Injuries always make us nervous Because we are rather dumb Lacking in the confidence To be a stand up team We are not a very clever team But I can tell an excuse to buy off another losing season We are neither consistent or durable And we always have flat breaking pitches We have a sense of losing And talents that go to waste but we always wonder why That we don't have a playoff team In spite of all that we are not We never get depressed For we've accepted who we are Being a cellar dwellar They say that we are losers And perhaps that may be true But if we had to change our lives We don't want to be the Bucks! (edited because I don't wanna call out the DRays anymore)

I just don't think a team in Delavan is feasible. As I look at the attendance figures of an already-lagging Beloit Snappers, which has been struggling the past decade with attendance AND a new stadium, I highly doubt a team in Delavan will be successful. Delavan and Beloit are too close together. As I said above, this move makes no geographic sense and I bet the Beloit Snappers Baseball Club will have something to say about this move and even try to block it. It is not that long of a drive from Delavan to Beloit, all you do is get on Hwy 11 west and then hit US 14 all the way to I-43 and Beloit is within 10 miles of the on-ramp. I could see an A ball team being placed in Kenosha, but not Delavan. There isn't enough commercial value in the Delavan area and the people would not even bother attending games because they already make the trek to Beloit, which as I said before, isn't too far away. It is like moving a Major League club to Orlando, FL where there already is a struggling team in nearby Tampa. http://www.acevideography.com/images/map.jpg

http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/images/spacer.gif http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/images/info/geographical/wisconsin.gif This is a geographic map of all the teams near Milwaukee.

Delavan? That move would not make any sense at all. Delavan is like a half hour drive from Beloit. Beloit has a hard enough time getting people to their games, having a team in Delavan would make about as much sense as putting a second MLB team in Miami.

By the way, two of my favorite obscure 80's sitcoms were "Too Close for Comfort" and "Perfect Strangers." I will never forget the antics of Balki.

PaulRigdon, you are correct. Guess I got those two confused for some reason. Hey, speaking of Night Court, did you all know that the judge, played by Harry Anderson, was dyslexic in real life and he had a different way of memorizing his lines? Also, in Spin City... in the last episode, Michael J. Fox returned and mentioned that an Alex P. Keaton was a junior Senator for Ohio. Another twist is that almost every character on Spin City had cameo appearances on Scrubs because they shared the same producer, Bill Lawrence. Michael Boatman - Played Carter Heywood on Spin City, played Dr. Cox's friend in Scrubs who had an autistic child Alan Ruck (from Ferris Bueller fame) - Played Stuart Bondek on Spin City, played a cancer patient who sued Dr. Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke) after she declared he had 6 months to live. Richard Kind - Played Paul Lassiter in Spin City, played hypochondriac Mr. Gorman in Scrubs The Mayor - Played Randall Winston in Spin City, played prostate cancer patient in Scrubs James from Spin City played narcotic addict/con man in Scrubs Michael J. Fox - Mike Flaherty in Spin City and Dr. Kevin Casey, the OCD doctor in Scrubs. Another weird thing is, although Sarah Chalke was Becky No. 2 on Roseanne and was supposed to be older than Darlene, she actually is a year younger in real life. ---------------------------------- I also have a question for Who's the Boss fans. Why on Earth did a former big league ballplayer like Tony Miceli (Tony Danza) decide to go as low as being a simple housekeeper for a lawyer when he could have afforded something better in the business of baseball? Oh, and I thought Alyssa Milano was hot on Who's the Boss (hey I was only 8 or so when it was on). And did you all know that the actor Danny Pintauro came out of the closet and was fully supported by his former Boss castmates, even Milano? ----------------------------------- What was the deal with Doogie Howser, MD? I never seen his friend (Max Castella or something like that) in any other show or movie ever again. ------------------------------------- And last but not least.... in Saved by the Bell, the reason they created Tori was because Tiffani Amber-Theissen and Elizabeth Berkley's contracts expired and were not renewed, so they made the series finale before their contracts expired, leaving a gap between episodes, so they created Tori. Oh, and Liz Berkley's real name is an exotic name, like Nehama Pina or something.

Mr. Rogers' brother? Raffi's brother?

Me and a coworker spent some downtime last Saturday talking about useless sitcom facts and here are some burning questions and facts about some of our favorite shows: Saved by the Bell - Started out as "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" which starred Screech, Lisa, Zack and Mr. Belding in an Indiana junior high school. They conveniently moved all four characters to California a year or two later. The odd thing is, it was mentioned several times in the high school Saved by the Bell that Zack and Jesse Spano were friends since elementary school, even though Jesse was never mentioned in the original Good Morning, Miss Bliss. A.C. Slater somehow found a way to play football, track, wrestling, swimming and basketball all in one academic year. Zack was a track star in one episode and a basketball star in another (Belding injures his knee by accidently running into him after a pre-game pep talk). Family Matters - Was actually a spin-off of Perfect Strangers. Harriet Winslow was Larry Appleton's elevator operator in a few episodes when Larry was a photojournalist of the Chicago Chronicle. The youngest daughter, Judy, conveniently vanished after a few episodes when she said she "was going upstairs to get something" and never came back down the stairs. Growing Pains - Leonardo DiCaprio got his started in acting on this show as Mike Seaver's (Kirk Cameron) homeless student. One of Kirk Cameron's on-screen girlfriends was fired from the show after Joanna Kerns filed a complaint on her when she appeared in Playboy Magazine. Full House - Uncle Jesse began the sitcom as Jesse Cochran, but his last name was changed to Katsopolis to refer to his Greek heritage later on. Bob Saget was not the original Danny Tanner, as the original was fired after the Pilot episode. The producers re-did the pilot with Saget later on. Dave Coulier introduced Candace Cameron (D.J. Tanner) to her future husband, Valeri Bure, during a charity hockey game. Dave Coulier always wore Detroit sports jerseys to show pride in his hometown of Detroit during episodes. Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - Don Cheadle starred as Will Smith's friend from Philly and was known as Ice Tray. Marsha Warfield had to two different roles on the show, once as Will's "bigger" classmate who he ended up taking to a school dance and also as Marrisa Redman, whom Hilary served as her personal assistant. Cosby Show - Adam Sandler starred as Theo's classmate when he was shown at school. Cosby wore different college shirts after several colleges mailed him them as part of a promotional effort to show their schools on National TV. Olivia (Raven) has her own show on the Disney Channel. The show had several celebrity cameo's such as Dick Vitale and the Late Jim Valvano as furniture movers. They also had Stevie Wonder, Frank Robinson, among others. Cliff Huxtable's dad on the show is actually seven years older than he is in real life. Hangin' With Mr. Cooper - The show was filmed on the same set as Growing Pains, often using the very same living room as the Seavers. Step by Step - Cody was not seen on any of the later shows when he was fired after being charged with domestic abuse of his wife in real life. Cheers - an independent accounting firm actually spent time watching every Cheers episode and tabulated Norm's bar tab as $85,000. Brady Bunch - It was rumored that Barry Williams (Greg Brady) had a fling with Florence Henderson off the set during the course of the show. In an episode of the Bunch clan at an Ohio Amusement Park, producers paid off the Theme Park's owners to allow the Brady Kids to skip in lines for rides in order to speed up the filming. The filming was taken place during regular hours with unsuspecting patrons. (added tag --1992)
