YULE love it!

The A.V. Club

He was also in Charlie Brewster in Fright Night, so '80s horror-comedy represent!

Citation, please. From what I can see, it was originally pitched in 1979 but not put into production until 1981. The pilot was written November 12, 1981.

Yeah, I tried thinking of some sexual double entendre but was not equal to the task.

How about another Raiders-inspired TV show from around the same time, Bring 'Em Back Alive, starring Bruce Boxleitner as animal trapper and adventurer Frank Buck? I liked both shows, but Gold Monkey was better to me because it was more overtly Raiders-ish and because dog with fucking eyepatch.

I'm not sure why, but the inclusion of Parenthood in this list really made me laugh.

I mainly remembered him as the Indiana Jones-ripoff main character from Tales of the Gold Monkey. It wasn't that great but as a kid I loved it.

It's by no means a good sentence, and it needs the context of the post I was replying to, but it makes no sense? C'mon.

No, that's "BIRmingHAYum." He's from "BIRming'm."

Also as Marty, the macho sleazeball foil to Bronson Pinchot's sweet-natured gay character on NBC's Sara, starring Geena Davis.

You're right, it's never been that good, but I don't remember it ever being that one-note.
