Written by: Shelley Zellman
Directed by: Dave Powers
Terri (Priscilla Barnes) convinces Janet (Joyce Dewitt) to take Jack (John Ritter) to a fancy party in order to make another man (Barry Williams) jealous. But the party is on an island and Jack is afraid to fly. So Larry (Richard Kline) gives Jack some tranquelizers for the flight.

The movie aboit jerry with ben stiller is classic permanent midnight i belive
Wow. He died 2014? It's been 10 years? I didn't believe it, had to look it up
I remember. This is when Happy Days was busy jumping sharks
WKBW is Buffalo, NY 🙂
Bizarre was Alf.
My favorite was when the entire crew went out to dinner and the bill came. They all started to take out money but Jim stood up and said “No, it’s my treat. I have a lot of money since I gave up drugs. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out 35 cents. Stares at it and says: “I gave up drugs for 35 cents?”
Okey, so this channel is amazing.!
I had heard the "Garry Marshall's son wanted an alien" story before, but getting to hear about the creating of the script and trying to find the right actor to play Mork was fascinating. Very well done!!
I remember this. I was 13. Tragedy Your video is well-done. Does anyone know why an ambulance wasn’t called and why cover up staff just took Jon-Erik themselves? I think it’s fine that they did what they did. They really seem to be trying to render aid to him. I did not know that the size of the skull piece was about the size of a quarter. That’s massive for that to go that deep into the brain. I also didn’t know it went that deep. So sad. I’m just curious if you know why they didn’t call an ambulance.?
I loved this episode, it's probably one of my favorites.
I loved his rough acting in Highway to Heaven, he was doubting, judging, "in the flesh" etc., while Michael was, well... sometimes a bit TOO angelic, maybe...(especially when he bursted into tears, and his face nearly melted...i don't judge him, it was HIS way to show emotion, but, just for me, it was a bit too much sometimes...). What i mean is, he was the perfect counterpart. I saw the series in Germany, end of the 80's, and of coure LHOTP... Loved this gnarly guy, & still do !
Grandma hated Alf, said he was hideous... i had a floppy alf record from burger king, melmac girls. I'd watch the cartoon again.
So erie that the show is called "cover up". Considering what happened 😢
Memories..I still tell.my cat Alf will get her ..though she dnt know Alf lol... alien life form. Alf
I love watching these old stuff episode it makes me so sad that here in 2024 Michael j fox is pretty much confined to a wheelchair because of his Parkinson's but he has done so much to raise awareness of the condition and raising money for a cure
Maybe I overthink it but that episode wasn't credible to me. How is that we watch so many seasons without any mention of this character Greg and he suddenly is the "best friend"? Was anybody else a little frustrated with the family's changing sports allegiances? Everything was Cleveland for a few years, then it switches to Cincinnati. I'm from Cleveland and went to Ohio State (in Columbus, where they supposedly lived). You had to stake out your sporting preferences. You couldn't be both an Indians and Reds fan, nor a Browns and a Bengals fan. Then in one episode they're rooting for the Detroit Tigers.
The guy seems like a real pain in the ass! When you're not the person in charge, just do what you're told to do and keep your mouth shut.
I'm 51 years old and I remember watching this show with my grandparents every Sunday night. Watching this little clip brought a tear to my eyes remembering those times wish my family.❤❤❤❤
I was a heroin addict and am a Burroughs fan. This was an amazing story I never heard this. Great content! 😎👌
If you havent seen permanent midnight, I recommend it.
@@jmcburney658 Hey thanks I'll check it out. 😎👍
My dad was the Key Grip for the entire run of the show, he even received an "Honorable Mention" from the 1983 Emmy's - Back when the TV Academy actually recognized the crew. I still have a few of the surviving scripts from my dad's once full collection. Dad was a Golden Gloves Boxer in his younger days and Tony Danza a former Pro Boxer, so during the week rehearsals between scenes he and Tony would spar when they had the time.
Ok. Ok. OK. I grew up watching Alf. I honestly don't know this episode mentioned but I and every kid my age were fans of Alf. I loved the movie Permanent Midnight. What's blowing my mind.... the 90's... 6K!?!?! That's so much heroin!!! There has to be somebody sharing it. That's so much. That's so much. His veins had to be pumping sludge for years. That's so so much. The math alone is making me tired. Oh my God
I thought this was the worst episode
One of my all-time favorite shows. I just watched a couple of episodes a couple of nights ago.
I loved this show when I was a kid. I’d still watch it now if I could find it somewhere.
I agree with other’s comments here! Jon Erik Hexum was absolutely the most handsome actor ever to grace the movie and tv screens. So talented and charming. So tragic !! I think he definitely would have gone on to become a great Hollywood legend. Jon-Erik , you are remembered and missed by your fans forever !!🥲 MDW.
One of my favorite TV shows of the 80's.
There is no way youcan remake The fall guy. I would not have seen remakes of the Evil dead, Halloween.Any of those classic movies need to to be as they are. Bullshit remakes. I guess they ran outta ideas.
What a beauty that man was. Seemed like a good person too. So sad.
You was the best!
Parents back in those days didn’t make you leave the room they told you to leave the room and you did. Because if you didn’t you knew what was going to happen next was not going to be pleasant.
A beautiful Promising Actor... its really really SAD... May God bless his soul. Even till now, i still remember him... 😒
The candle that burned twice as bright. Thank you for bringing light into our lives, Robbin.
Cool
I know how he felt. I look like a monster, but I love people. I wish people could see my heart before my face. With my size, I scare children, but I only want to protect them. The only people I want to fear me are those who would hurt people.
A lot better of a dude than people think
I wasn’t a big Robin Williams fan but even I know that no one else could have pulled that role off. Jim Carry said about the Pet Detective movies “With a script like that and such a ludicrous concept you just gotta go all in.” I think Williams used that same thinking when he did Mork.
Very well done!
Thank you very much!
One of my top favorite tv show intros was this show.
Every time I think of taxi or tell some young person about it this is the episode I always remember and share
Im so glad the rock didn't touch the movie. Ryan gosling did amazing. And lee majors cameo.
He definitely ripped others off for content but I think Battlestar Galactica is guilty by association. If it borrowed from anything it would be Wagon Train but even that is a stretch to a certain degree.
ML was a real angel❤
Well, we’ve eliminated the stigma and vastly more kids now get therapy. Yet mental health outcomes are dramatically worse. Maybe, just maybe, we got it wrong and should rethink the problem.
Years ago I was working some overtime on a construction site so it was quieter then the usual jobsite racket. I was bored after wiring my 100th receptacle and thought I was alone so in my best Jim Ignotouski voice I said "what does a yellow light mean?" To my surprise a voice from the other side of the wall answered with "slow down", without skipping a beat we did the entire scene and then quoted and laughed about the show for the rest of the night. Taxi, a great sitcom with a great cast of characters, what more can you say.
Im so glad Gene Hackman didn't become Mike Brady, because he wouldn't have seen the same as the villains or antagonist on his other movies...
Man , I never missed Taxi mostly to to Chris and Danny!
When I was a little kid this was absolutely my favorite show.
One of the greatest to ever entertain! Period!
Crazy that we don't hear about more accidents on shows like Knight Rider and Magnum P.I. I remember John Schneider talking about an accident similar to this one on Dukes Of Hazzard, you kinda see why they started going to CGI just for safety sake
I don't think Dwayne Johnson has the personality to play Colt. He's the type of actor that doesn't really act. All his movies are made for him to play himself.
