I watched that one semi-regular. Average show. Danielle was the smart-mouthed “Danny Partridge” of the series. Not a great actress, but she was just a kid. They can’t all be Billy Mumy, Patty McCormack or Ronny Howard.

Rerun died years ago (given his weight, no surprise). I thought the actor who played Rog was fine. Dwayne’s character was a little too vanilla to know what was there. He just entered and said a sing-songy “Hey HEY Hey”. The mom was pretty hefty, like a lot of the black actresses in the matriarch role (That’s My Mama, Florida on Good Times). There must have been a real shortage of Diahann Carroll types.

Rerun sure could dance, though.

I used to watch that almost every day in the 80’s. It was on at 5pm. I can’t believe Dee died.

I remember “Julia” growing up, and yeah, I had the schoolboy crush on her.
