Can I be in the stupid club and admit I've never heard of him either.Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Apparently, he was famous for playing Theo Huxtable on "The Cosby Show". No; I never heard of him either.
It's not stupid at all. What I said is a fact; I'd never heard of him, as I never watched that programme. I tend to avoid most American comedy shows, as their humour just doesn't appeal. Friends, Frazier etc etc. They just leave me feeling meh. Probably something to do with me being a FMOC.
It was a fantastic show about life lessons.I loved the Cosby show, was always on around 6 ish in the evening.
I remember Theo in it, it was a great show, funny and educational in it's own way.
Sad for the lad.
You wouldn’t have known what colour he was, in the same way I wouldn’t have known, having never watch an episode of the show - and like you said, I’ve never seen a full episode of Friends, Frasier, as well as Seinfeld, The Simpsons, South Park, Rosanne, 2 and a half men and other such shite.Weird that no one else (as of yet) has found anything else offensive about my original comments. Also; you seem to be the one bringing the guy's colour into the discussion. I don't give a flying fuck what colour he is; it's totally irrelevant to me. I never mentioned it once. But, to quote you, whatever.
So was Little House on the Prairie ;)It was a fantastic show about life lessons.
Same here, for American comedies that I've watched I have to go back to the Beverley hillbillies and Mr Ed. No clue about the one's you mentioned.You wouldn’t have known what colour he was, in the same way I wouldn’t have known, having never watch an episode of the show - and like you said, I’ve never seen a full episode of Friends, Frasier, as well as Seinfeld, The Simpsons, South Park, Rosanne, 2 men and a baby and other such shite.
Did like Laverne & Shirley, Happy Days and Cheers though.
He was pretty well-known here, yes. And because he was a teenager and had an expansive, funny role on the show, I think he has been well-remembered. And Bigga is right that the show broke a lot of barriers and in general was funny and wholesome. Nonetheless, 54 is no age and this is very sad.Both of which are true. Was he famous to a lot of people, particularly in America? Judging by the popularity of the show over there (having googled it), you'd have to say yes. But, as I said earlier, I'd never watched it. So, until this evening, having never heard of him, my comments about his fame weren't unreasonable. You disagree; that's your prerogative. I'm not going to spend all night arguing about it. You won't change my opinion, and I won't change yours.
Barney Miller was very sardonic and subversive for its time.Same here, for American comedies that I've watched I have to go back to the Beverley hillbillies and Mr Ed. No clue about the one's you mentioned.
Actually there was one I watched in the 70s or early 80s called Barney Miller I was falling asleep pretty drunk late one night, I think it must have been Friday night and the TV was on and this show started with this fantastic Bass line (I've played a lot of Bass) which got my attention, anyway I ended up watching it and thought it was hilarious, very dry and sarcastic I ended up purposefully watching it every week I think it was on channel 4.
I used to watch The Paul Hogan show on channel 4 late Friday night when I was pretty drunk. Maybe it came on after that.
Barney Miller is an American sitcom television series set in a New York City Police Department police station on East 6th Street in Greenwich Village (Lower Manhattan). The series was broadcast on ABC from January 23, 1975, to May 20, 1982. It was created by Danny Arnold and Theodore J. Flicker.
"miserable"!Can I be in the stupid club and admit I've never heard of him either.
And what's a FMOC Jimbo?
I've never heard of that either. Is the M for mad, murderous, mild, malicious.... what?
Hahaha"miserable"!
Heaven knows you’re……."miserable"!
Bill, you can get help for your Friday night binges. At your age they are dangerous as your habit of watching US comedy shows.Same here, for American comedies that I've watched I have to go back to the Beverley hillbillies and Mr Ed. No clue about the one's you mentioned.

He's pretty well known here too, Shirleys husband is Community, Reglaur in Suits and the resident, and was briefly in sneaky pete if I remember.He was pretty well-known here, yes.

I'd guessed "moaning" but miserable is spot on."miserable"!
Hahaha this was about 1980 mate!Bill, you can get help for your Friday night binges. At your age they are dangerous as your habit of watching US comedy shows.

You my friend have got a serious chip on your shoulder.Well, what a stupid and dismissive comment.
He appeared on a groundbreaking TV show that showed a positive depiction of the Black household, that was pretty famous for all the right reasons, and was something MOST people in and around the age of 50-60 would have heard of.
The show was a staple of after school TV on CH4 in the 80s and 90s.
I'm gutted for his loss as he was making a regular comeback over the last few years. I remember him from 'A Different World', 'The Fresh Prince' and was a regular on 'The Resident' TV show on streaming.
RIP Mr Jamal-Warner.
A great player who quietly went about his business.Joey Jones really good full back for Wales Wrexham and Liverpool aged 70.
RIP
