Yes ...along with the coach Fredricks coming down to breakfast while Bill is eating cereal scene. AKA the "Love Reign O'r Me" scene. Painful and hilarious at once.
I was the kind of guy you would want to hang out with. Always very popular, tons of friends....oh, and schoolwork just came easy to me. Ahhh, the pleasures of selective/creative memory...
Tina Brooks
Sonny Clark
Clifford Jordan
Paul Desmond
Benny Carter, Lester Young, Duke Ellington, Basie, Benny, Bird, Pops, Mingus, Dex, Brownie, Tea, Evans, Morgan, Shorter, Rollins, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaok, I can't list just a few.
Surprise, surprise.
I have this set and I like it a lot....but, hoo boy, is there a lot of material here! The ultimate example of completism. (Is that a word?) Not necessarily a bad thing, but I wouldn't blame anyone for wanting to start with something smaller, then work their way UP to this set. But this being Mosaic, the set will go OOP sooner or later. You can't win.
But don't get me wrong: There's great stuff here, I just don't know if I'll ever digest it all.
Richard Brooks, as the deputy assistant district attorney on the early Law & Order. He was on for the first couple of seasons, I think. They haven't had a man in that role since.
June Lockhart. One of the great mother-role character actresses on TV. Maybe its just the nostalgia talking, but she was great on Lost In Space and Lassie.
Martin Starr as Bill Haverchuck, Jason Segal as Nick Andopolis, and Joe Flaherty as Harold Weir (the father) on Freaks and Geeks. The whole cast was great, but those three really impress me, right now at least.
Do you have all the Tina Brooks albums? All essential, not always easy to get.
Then there's -
DAVIS CUP
FLIGHT TO JORDAN
HERE TO STAY
