One name: Lonnie Anderson.

Okay, continuing with our theme of "Great Shows from the 70's and 80's that I was in", I present to you, WKRP in Cincinnati.  Yes, believe it or not, I was in this show, as well.  My agent was good.  He got me in a lot of the top shows from that timeframe.  The really interesting part is that, he managed to get my 37-year-old self in them.  I'm not sure how he did that because I was just barely entering my teens in the 80's.  But we'll overlook that for now.

 So what happened here?  Well, I was not only one of the stars of the show (right up there with Howard, Tim, and Lonnie), but I was also a writer.  I guess some of the others started getting jealous of my incredible writing capabilities, and accused me of giving myself all of the best lines.  I'm not sure I can agree with that.  I mean, my character was uber-smart and witty, and incredibly funny.  It only made sense that the funniest, wittiest, and smartest lines came from him.  I guess the others really had a problem with that philosophy, though, so they had me canned. 

I didn't care, though. I really didn't want to work for them, anyway. 

Happy HNT, everyone.  Os has more stuff.  The Blue HNT button will take to a place that will explain everything.

By the way, for those who are interested, I used The GIMP for this particular photo-chop.  The main reason is because I have switched out the operating system on my computer from Windows XP to Linux.  Paint Shop Pro, which is my normal photo editor, doesn't work natively under Linux.  There's potentially a way to make it work, but until I get it going, I have to use this sad suckface open source piece of software.  Yes, I don't like it.  But it'll do for now.  If the photo above looks like crap, I'll blame the program…and my parents.  Oh, and in case you didn't see me, I'm between Les Nessman and Mr. Carlson.  Click the image for a larger view.
