Eric Estrada must have had quite the ego back then

Speedo's were normal, and this was back before hip-hop and homophobia. I used to wear a speedo in the 70's and then when the 80's came along, I was told that it was wrong. Fast forward to today, and I'm told that wearing shorts above the knee is wrong.

Yes the rap culture brought in some ridiculous fashions. "Shorts" that are actually pants that go above the ankles. Every time I see a man wearing those as shorts, I have to laugh. Those are not shorts, just high-water pants!

I thought he looked good, though.

Which episode is this? I'd like to check it out!

[–] cluvonj 10 years ago

It is Season 3, Episode 3 called "Valley Go Home". I agree he did look good and as far as I know out of all the seasons of the show is the only time he wore a speedo so that is not bad at all.
