DENNY CRANE!!
I’d love to see an episode with Rodney King and Reginald Denny being interviewed together.
The name Barack Obama comes to mind.
HERO!
Sounds like an interesting show (don’t get bio channel) but I’d much rather see Bill what’s-his-name from American Justice then Capt. Kirk as host.
I think it was the Priceline commercials that did it for me. (Though I will admit that the current evil parallel universe one is pretty funny)
IIRC Goetz told a neighbor that he was the shooter.
She turned him in. If he had kept quiet he would have been safe from prosecution.
After that shooting subway crime dropped, big time.
The Goetz effect.
NYC could use a little (a lot) of that now.
Nothing bizarre about that. It wasn't a personal thing, he didn't know the muggers. He was simply defending himself.
Of course, in this chickified culture, EVERYTHING is supposedly "personal". Always got to bring up the feeeelings.
Bleah.
This is a very solid idea for a TV show, because there are an endless number of “15 minutes of fame-ers” to interview. The show could be serious, or it could be punctuated with American silliness and excess.
For example, Jessica McClure “baby Jessica”, who was trapped in a well in Texas, and became international news. Next year, she is due to receive a trust fund payout of $1m. Yet the two men most responsible for saving her? One suffered from PTSD and committed suicide. And the other was sentenced to 15 years in prison on charges of sexual exploitation of a child, sexual assault, and improper storage of explosives.
Brian “Kato” Kaelin? Houseboy of the Simpsons.
Jessica Hahn, Monica Lewinsky or Linda Tripp or Paula Jones or Gennifer Flowers, Elizabeth Smart, Captain Chesley Sullenberger (pilot), Lorena Bobbitt, Mike Melvill (private astronaut), etc., etc.
Denny Crane!
