Oh yeah - Mullet Head! He was adorable. The character's name was Tyler.

looks like switchback (1997) was the last film for tommy puett if the character Tyler Benchfield is the one you are thinking of.

Rath, it really is bad (I must have blocked it out, because I don't remember it)!

Wow. I wish I hadn't seen the picture because I remembered him being cute. Now I have to remember the hairdo! :) I really enjoyed that show. Somewhere around here I still have an issue of Life magazine with Chris Burke on the cover with a big interview about the show. The same issue had a big story on the tryouts for Annie 2 / Miss Hannigan's revenge at the Kennedy center. Gee those were the days.

Craig, cutie, you don't have to apologize for liking Chad Lowe in LIFE GOES ON, among other things. Didn't he win an Emmy for this performance?

By the way, I loved this show! This was the only program my parents let us watch every Sunday, other than MISTER ROGERS, SESAME STREET, and all the other PBS shows. Does anyone remember when Patti sang "WIND BENEATH MY WINGS" to Corky? How about when Patti and her TV husband had a quarrel and she accidentaly dropped her wedding ring in the sewer (after taking it off momentarily) and he went down to retrieve it that night as a token of his love for her? *sigh* Or how about the one where Corky goes to a masquerade/Halloween party and this gorgeous girl falls for him, but she can't tell he has Down's Syndrome because he's wearing a mask and she falls for his beautiful eyes? That was a hearbreaking eposide. I'd better get the DVD.

"Didn't he win an Emmy for this performance?"

Yep. And well-deserved. He was terrific in that show. Too bad it was his peak.

Posted: 5/10/06 at 6:40am

...& when Corky sang Public Enemy's FIGHT THE POWER?

...& when the fab Dorothy Lyman played Chad Lowe's mother?

[Rathnait62]

I wish Dorothy Lyman hadn't decided that life behind the camera was better. I'm sure she's a fine director, but she was such an exciting on-camera talent.

Perhaps she never recovered from Mama's Family.

When I was in highschool, my best friend was Chad Lowe's babysitter!

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 5/10/06 at 8:51am

Did you ever meet his stepmom Joanne?

[redhotinnyc2]

Posted: 5/10/06 at 8:59am

Nope - but he and Rob lived down the street from my best friends who were twins and they took turns babysitting Chad. This was in Dayton Ohio in the late '70s.

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 5/10/06 at 9:03am

She is my brother-in-laws older sister. She was their step-mom at the time in Dayton.

Posted: 5/10/06 at 9:16am

Weirder yet, my very best friend from college in North Carolina moved to Dayton two years ago and bought a house only few miles away.

[redhotinnyc2]

Posted: 5/10/06 at 9:22am

wow - I haven't been back there since I did a show in a neighboring town in the mid 90's - I took a drive through Dayton to see my old stomping grounds, but it seemed like a ghost town at the time - maybe it had picked back up. I'm not in touch with anyone from that area any more.
