First of all, that DOES suck they altered the shows like that, but it's better than nothing, I haven't seen this, my favorite show, since I was about 7...

Anyway, in the pilot when Jody is supposed to jump off the building onto the poorly placed airbag, the director is giving anyone crap about the situation, etc....his character is "Sam"...

It was driving me crazy after recognizing this guy and not being able to figure out who he is, but I think it's Terry Kiser, who played Bernie in "Weekend at Bernie's" hahaha. Whoever it is, the guy's not credited.

Yeah, haha, I just noticed he was in another episode i just watched. It was him. I sent the info to IMDB since it wasn't in the credits.

I noticed that he was in a lot of television shows during the 70's and 80's. He even played a bully in Three's Company where Jack Tripper played by John Ritter accidently hits on his girlfriend and he threatens to kill Jack.

"IMDB is listing him as being in 6 episodes"

Terry Kiser sure was in the 2 hour pilot movie and he's my favorite guest star(and was Lee Major's best man at his recent wedding to Faith Majors). Terry was in the pilot, the third aired episode "The Rich Get Richer", season two's "Piece of Cake" as Nick Trainer(wonderful, enraged performance), "Dirty Laundry" from the third year, Mr. Kiser played a dual role in "Split Image" in which he played a nice, but lonely shoe salesman who has a gangster for a doppleganger(from year four)and "Miami's Nice" from season five. I own uncut film prints of all of these except "Miami's Nice", but I have an uncut video copy that I recorded off of WATL here in Atlanta in 1995.
