I helped set up the Bible Man stage at a live show, stage was huge & multi level with pyrotechnics & good sound(loud). I was shocked how short he is, great show & He stayed after until every kid that wanted to meet Bible Man got to do so.

I’m sure willie would agree with me. Ttt btw, I would’ve watched this video if the title was what I suggested.

I met Willie while I was working at a interior design store in Newport Beach back in the 80s along with a few other movie "stars". I can say Willie was absoulutly the nicest star I met there. He was really humble and soft spoken. One thing I didn't realize was how short he would be in person. Truely a nice guy.

I wish Willie all the best. I grew up with his Tommy, and he of all the Bradfords had a character who really grew and evolved. He had some of the best storylines in "Eight is Enough" when he was up against tough choices, walking the razor's edge between boyhood and manhood, and he acted very well! I am watching the show decades later as an adult, and I am enjoying the deeper storylines woven into the show and Willie's strong and sympathetic portrayal of Tommy. I love especially the scenes in which Dick Van Patten as Tom says to him, "I,m proud of you, son." I also think that Willie was awesome: talented far beyond his teen idol charms of the times. He was just cool!

Thanks for sharing, Dave! My 1st memory, of course, is him as Tommy in Eight Is Enough. He played Tommy to perfection, much like his "TV dad" Dick VanPatten. You almost felt like he was your brother. I also liked his character on Charles In Charge, a far cry from his 8IE character. I must admit I haven't seen Bible Man but would love to. I wouldn't mind meeting him on a cruise. He sounds like he's super nice to fans. And since you didn't say it, let me say it for you. You talk about movies, music and television, mostly from the '50's, '60's, '70's and '80's- we know, the good stuff!

"Zapped" was one of those movies I think that could only have come out in the 80s. You didn't miss much, Dave. I think you could say it catered to the interests of teenage boys. It's definitely an artifact of its era. I really hope to join in one of your livestreams, I've missed so many of them! I caught the tail end of your Superboy livestream, but I was watching on my Xbox so I couldn't chat and darn it all, I had my phone charging. Next time!

@@jdsundstrom I saw "Zapped!" on cable back around the 1980s, and I thought it was so horrible, all the people involved should be ashamed of themselves for it. (I have the same opinion of "Problem Child 2".) It did offer character actor Roger Bowen as the main character's (alcoholic) dad and Sue Ane Langdon as a school teacher who crosses Baio's character, leading him to embarrass her in class & later on. (Bowen & Langdon were in the early 1970s series ARNIE together.) It WAS as bad as the poster suggests and worse, ending at the prom, w/ lots & lots of nudity. At least CHARLES IN CHARGE wasn't as bad. I'm glad Mr. Aames found his Bibleman character later. An aside: his last name guarantees him top billing in any & every show that has alphabetical billing.

When I do; I love the warmth of nostalgia which besets me when I remember the person your profiling. And when I don't I appreciate the education which you're so expertly dishing out for the community!🙂 For a while there Willie became at least outwardly; mostly known for his feelings on spiritual matters. But wow, in the mid 80's he had some awesome hair!

He ultimately wound up having a Huge garage sale whereby he sold off countless personal items and collectable items tied to his Hollywood career. Willie then went on to his Cruise director position.

Willie's older brother was my boss at a video game company called Tsunami Visual Technologies in Fremont, CA back in the early to mid 2000's a guy named Jim Upton. I didn't find out until months after I started working there he was his older brother. I was blown away. He told me all kinds of crazy stories from back in the day when Willie was super famous. Since I loved Willie Aames and my boss asked me politely if I could sell him weed, I obliged. I think Jim has since passed away, lost touch 16 years old.

Thanks for the video and wonderful mini documentary on Willie Aames. It's good to now that things have turned out all right for him after some hard times. As a huge fan of the show "Eight is Enough", I hope you will do features on the other cast members (hey, one kid down, seven to go, right?) and perhaps the show itself. Interesting tidbit about the show, actress Laurie Walters (Joannie) was about six months older than the actress that played her step mother (Betty Buckley). Do yourself a favor and skip "Zapped". It makes the movie "Bachelor Party" look like like "Gone With the Wind" or "Lawrence of Arabia".

Thanks for another great video. I know a lot of very interesting things about the personal friendship and professional work relationship of Willie Aames and Scott Baio. Objectly speaking, I honestly and sincerely believe that. 1. Scott Baio deserved one or two Emmy nominations as Best Lead Actor In A Comedy Series for Charles In Charge. His outstanding work as a comedic actor in this series is equally as good as that of Michael J. Fox in Family Ties. 2. Willie Aames deserved two or three Emmy nominations as Best Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series for Charles In Charge. In fact. Willie should have finally won during their last season for the episode Buddy Flips A Disc.

"Paradise" WAS a "Blue Lagoon" ripoff! My ex dragged me to see this movie. It was so awful it was laughable. In the middle of the movie a pair of trained chimpanzees show up on the beach in the desert. Both the female chimpanzee and Phoebe Cates' character were pregnant. The chimp had her baby first. As she cradled the baby chimp, he said to her, "You mean we're going to have one of THESE???" The entire theatre howled.

I remember in an episode of Celebrity Fit Club, he tried to mouth off to one his trainers, who was ex-millitary, only to get get verbally put in his place by this trainer and left near tears by the tongue lashing that he got. He kind of looked like Sammy Hagar after letting his hair grow long again and growing a moustache and goatee a few years later.

He was also in the TV version of The Swiss Family Robinson but I don't remember ever catching an episode of it even in reruns if it was on! We share the same birthday of July 15th.

I saw Zapped when I was young - it’s one of those movies that could only have been made in the 80’s. Bail is the nerdy science kid who develops the power to move things after a high school science experiment goes wrong, and Ames is the rich kid friend who takes advantage for his own personal and financial gain.

Funny story. I broke down in Woodland Hills, CA. when I was 22. I got out and asked for help from the guy behind me but he had a new Corvette and didn't want to help push my car to the side. The next car that pulled up was the boy who played Adam's dad! He was really nice and wanted to see me again but he was at least twice my age. I never found out what happened to Adam either. I really liked the show.

I am always sad, but unsurprised, to hear how some child stars have horrible lives. Some end up dead. Some overcome it, Drew Barrymore is also an example, and some just have few issues. I'm glad he was able to overcome all that and have a happy life now.
