Ted Danson began playing Sam Malone when CHEERS debuted on September 30, 1982, then that TUCKER'S WITCH episode aired on October 6, 1982. Wow, what a jarring show for fans of CHEERS! "The Good Witch of Laurel Canyon" was the title of that pilot episode. Danson was really scary in it. A great actor in both comedy and drama!

Strangely you missed an irony of trivia with *Tucker's Witch.* Catherine Hicks, who replaced Kim Cattrall, was indeed in *Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home* film. But Kim Cattrall also appeared in the Star Trek before her role in Sex and the City. Cattrall portrayed Vulcan helmsman Valeris (spot where Lt. Sulu (now Captain of his own ship) normally sits in. Film was *Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.* That role got her some name recognition in Hollywood.

Except that Cattrall had already established herself with roles in hit movies like Porky's, Police Academy and Mannequin, not to mention the female lead in Big Trouble in Little China, which bombed in its initial box office run but was a hit on home video. She also played Tom Hanks' wife in the notorious financial dud The Bonfire of the Vanities, before bouncing back with her role in Star Trek VI. Afterwards, her career pretty much stalled until the late 90s, when she was cast in the role she's best known for, on Sex and the City.

The irony that so many stars of "one season wonders" of the 1980s, even when they didn't become "big stars" still made a lot of bank. Jack Scalia, not in the video but for example, not only did well financially, he got to do many projects across just about every genre and sub-genre of TV and Television films..as well as work with some legendary talents like the late Rock Hudson.

The Secrets of Midland Heights was NOT a spin-off of Dallas (Knots Landing was, although technically that show was conceived before Dallas). The show was produced by the same company as Dallas, Knots Landing, and Falcon Crest - Lorimar. Speaking of Falcon Crest, Midland Heights' Lorenzo Lamas certainly made a name for himself after a nine-year run in Falcon Crest, as well as his action series Renegade.

Strange you didn’t mention some key members of the cast in The Renegades besides Patrick Swayze. Kurtwood Smith has been in a ton of movies and played Red on That 70s Show and That 90s Show. Randy Brooks was on many soap operas and TV shows and starred in the movies Colors and Reservoir Dogs. Most importantly, you forgot Brian Tochi who played Takashi in the Revenge of the Nerds franchise. He was also in 2 Police Academy movies and was the voice of Leonardo in all 3 live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies (the only ones that count, in my humble opinion).

Good additions all. Ted Danson was really only in one episode, however, the original pilot with Cattrall and the reshot pilot with Hicks. What I find fascinating is that the pilot aired a week after CHEERS debuted and featured a startlingly different side of Danson than Sam Malone! Barry Corbin had been around since the '70s. I know him best as the sheriff on DALLAS.

A couple of notes...first how did you not acknowledge Ted Danson in "Tucker's Witch" and Kurtwood Smith in Renegades? Dana Carvey tells a pretty funny story about "One of the Boys". Apparently Micky thought Dana was gay and would make jokes about it to, ironically, Nathan Lane about it. Dana would go on to do a not so flattering impersonation of Micky.

Great video! I'm likely the only fan who best remembers Caterine Hicks as the principal on THE BAD NEWS BEARS series with Jack Warden, Corey Feldman, and Meeno Peluce (of later VOYAGERS fame). RENEGADES looks like MOD SQUAD rebooted for the '80s. Brian Tochi was in there who did great stuff in the '70s and '80s (yes, SPACE ACADEMY among them). CASABLANCA ran only five episodes in the spring of '83. David Soul's 1983-84 series was THE YELLOW ROSE with Soul, Sam Elliott, and Cybill Shepherd plus TV vets Noah "Rocky" Beery and Ken "Festus" Curtis. An underappreciated prime-time soap.

Don't forget one of my favorite Swayze roles: The 1985 NORTH AND SOUTH miniseries that boasted a ton of stars old, new, and up n' coming. James Read from first season REMINGTON STEELE co-starred with Swayze, and Kirstie Alley was excellent in it a few years before she joined CHEERS.
