I was a baby when this show first came out, but I would watch like every rerun episode they showed, and i got so mad when they stopped showing the reruns
Agreed. One best shows on TV, like ever and now it's like it's ghosted us. Guess it appeals to a wide variety of people. I'm 50, and I (obviously) had great affinity for the show, too.
His character is a lot like Logan. He makes quips and acts indifferent but is actually hiding a lot of pain and a history of abuse. I think this episode aired several months before Veronica Mars started and I actually wonder if this role led to him being cast in that show.
He actually played the human version of Eddie McDowd, before he was turned into a dog, in the show “100 Good Deeds for Eddie McDowd,” about 4-5 years before this episode aired.
