MOSSBIE Having worked on this, the oddest idea for a series was just so simply unbelievable where script and talent would never have succeeded even though they managed to get an actress with a huge TVQ and a decent and always professional good guy, Don Murray both savvy enough to know they were going to be in a one season flop which had sets we didn't bother to complete mostly because there were no episodes completed soon enough to get construction crews have anything to do while Chris Carter's IBM typewriter was mostly a prop in his office. He was embarrassingly so waspish and wore a blue button down, tight Levis's, white topsiders, and a mane of surfer blond locks and lived at one of the LA coastal towns. He was not a surfer just as he was not meant to be involved in this show which I suspected was because he was someone's "boy" at the studio. Not implying he was gay, but he was wooden, humorless, asked peculiar questions about the large house built on a sound stage which he hardly used, going on locations for the few shows we got done. It was awful and loaded with talented people. When I saw and got hung up with the well written and imaginative story lines, there was no way one could believe this person had such a duality. I can comfortably say he was one of the oddest people who proved me wrong in summing him up as a talent, when I still think of him as a cartoon like writer/producer.I do believe I was right about him being someone's "boy" who hid it from the world and that this show was given to him to keep him alive till the XFILES could start production...Both Duchovny and Gillian Anderson owe their careers to his expert casting and it would not surprise me if he ended up being a creation of his own self. He is also, the most asexual person I ever worked with......hmmmmmmmm.
Jerry-9 Two people get married and the two respected siblings have to adjust to new family members. You have the heartthrob and the geek, you have the bombshell and the average girl. The Mom (Barabra Eden) and Dad try to make it work. Shown as a Walt Disney Presents and one of the last shows to be aired as WDP for NBC. Funny show!
