I, too, had a huge crush on him as a teen. I loved his acting. I saw an episode of Law & Order SVU a few years ago, and he played a very convincing creep.
Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by surprise, unexpectantly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death.
While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes.
Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way.
It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......
@@d.lawrence5670 Hello, black person here. He doesn't look 90 thats for damn sure. I'll never say plastic surgery is the right answer when moisturizer with SPF and body lotion is all you need to not look dead. He looks like someones fun dad or middle aged husband that still hits it twice a week. Mickey Rourke wishes he could look like this.
@@d.lawrence5670 Asian person here. I understand that you were being hyperbolic when comparing McCarthy to a nonagenarian. To me, he doesn't look like he's had any plastic surgery. My sister is 50, 8 yrs younger than he is; and she looks like she could be his daughter. Regardless, I love McCarthy (and love James Spader even MORE). So glad he is aging naturally.
Andrew McCarthy truly IS the sweetheart he projects himself to be - he always has been. I happened to sit next to him at Chumley's, an old bar in Greenwich Village YEARS ago, and I'll never forget how down to earth and cool he was - I mean, who was I, just this Asian American guy who'd gone to NYU like him. What a classy guy!

I agree. I'm 60 and I expect every actor and musician I loved in the 80's to look the same as they did then. I know when I look in the mirror that I have gotten older, but I am always surprised when they do too. Andrew still looks great though.
They say you don't notice the process of aging on your own face and body, but on those you went to school with. When you see those guys with big bellies and wrinkles and baldness and such, then you realize it's happening to you, too, and time only goes one way. You can run but you can't hide from aging and death.
@City Nat, doesn't matter your age, you gotta take care of yourself. Most people age way too fast with unhealthy living. Yes we all age but not everyone will age at the same rate. The American diet and lifestyle greatly effect the aging process. We all know people who look 20 years younger or older than their actual age. Personally I'm cutting way back on sugar. The amount of sugar in the American diet is absolutely incredible. So you take years and years and years of sugar and preservatives in the foods we eat combined with added chemicals for taste and it's no wonder many people are sick and age much faster than others. Besides that have you noticed most people are tired all the time? Like seriously all the time. No one has the energy to do anything but sit on the couch. If you notice this epidemic of exhaustion is effecting people of all ages. A major reason is most Americans don't eat real food.
I'm glad Andrew never wanted to be like Tom Cruise and for the record, I never thought the "Brat Pack" was an insult because they're all so talented. Our entire generation was "The Brat Pack" thanks to you guys and I was always proud of that.
He never had the talent of Tom Cruise, all heartthrob competition aside. At best, McCarthy was/is a mediocre actor who used his cuteness to get through most roles. Not too familiar with his directorial work.
He does not look like an average 58 yr old! Late 40's at best and if he dressed a bit more casual, he'd probably look a little younger. He has aged well and just dresses mature.
I think the term was given by an older generation who saw us young people who had everything but never experienced hardships. Maybe spoiled is a better term. I never thought of it as a bad thing either, and of course I idolized them.
There is simply no reason to let one bozo New York reporter looking for a headline define the way someone thinks about themselves. It's an example of how much over-inflated importance people gave to the elite dinosaur media in the pre-internet days, before all those print publications started going extinct like they deserve to be.

@@sloan_005 Well, you stated that he was underrated and should have been a bigger star. The reason his career floundered was because of his unfortunate problem with alcohol. He is a good actor and sadly he developed a reputation of being a problem. It is good to see him doing well.
M.A. Hernandez - Gee, maybe you should have written his autobiography since you are the authority on other’s lives. Obv you haven’t read the book nor do you know his career facts.

They have such a great dynamic together where it made the ridiculous and absurd plot points so memorable to keep your attention to the very end. I grew up watching this movie as a child and it has a great deal of nostalgic and sentimental value I cherish.
Even though I was in my late 20's when that film was released, I still count it as one of my favorites. The cast was just so endearing and perfect in their respective roles...captured teenage "angst" perfectly...and the soundtrack is timeless...
@@lovescoffee7189 Robby Benson was always gorgeous, with his stunning blue eyes and beautiful hair, but he was so shy and sweet, so different then many hollywood actors of his era, ...love Robby so much.💗
Great actor. It's a shame that not much came in the last few years. My favorite films remain are "CLASS, Heaven Help Us, Pretty in Pink, Mannequin, Weekend at Bernie’s 1+2"
I’m 55 and loved the “Brat Pack” and their movies. Those movies helped define my generation of X’rs as we grew up. For me, the term is endearing. Andrew was always one of my favorites from that group. I wish the group could do a movie together now that they’re all in their late 50’s. I think it would be a hit!
I am 51 and seeing Andrew and listening to his words make me happy with “just fine “ thank you for mannequin and weekend at bernie’s, the 80’s were the best decade for music and films 🏴
Such a wonderful interview/segment. Made me tear up. Andrew has done well! He definitely deserved to be in that 75th Anniversary of Paramount Pictures photo session. He has cemented his place in the history of motion pictures and I love him for what he brought to film, and I know I'm not the only one.
@@deesee3622 - he sure was! Played the same kind of sensitive guy of privilege that he did in Pretty in Pink; stands up to his elitist, bigoted mother in Joy Luck Club.
Pretty in Pink has always been one of my favorite movies because of him and Molly's chemistry. It's still a classic. To think he gives all the credit to Molly, and how she changed his life is beautiful. I've always loved all the characters in the Brat pack and have always thought it was a wonderful thing. I didn't know he was directing such films today, he's such a talent. All the best to you Andrew. You're a class act!
Those of us who were in our early 20's in the mid 1980's, remember it as the high point of the USA. It was a great time to be alive. I don't think we will ever see a time like that again, ever.
I was in 5th and 6th grade in the mid 80s. It was 1 of the best times in US history. 1 of the best presidents was leading us into prosperity and technology was up and coming
Andrew McCarthy is an incredible actor who I grew up admiring watching Weekend at Bernie's and the Bratpack movies. The fact that he can relate to actors as he takes the role of Director and disarming the anxiety is truly amazing.
I'm really much impressed about your profile and personalities. I also admire your good sense of humor on here. I don't normally write in the comment section, but I think you deserve this complement.
McCarthy still exudes that boyish charm that made him popular in the 80's. My favorite McCarthy film is Less Than Zero. Him and Robert Downey Jr. were so good in it.
@@salozmen29 First of all, troll.. please get a brain transplant cus the one you have doesn't work for sh*t. Read everything I wrote you dumb f*ck. There is such a thing of a softer, some might say a more feminine type guy who is a cis heterosexual man. Btw, not that it matters but I'm definitely a Democrat, dumbazz.
Every time I see Andrew McCartney, Rob Lowe and all of the other 80s stars it brings back so many memories for me. I had their magazine pics plastered all over the inside of my desk at school as a teen in the 80s. I was transfixed by every movie they appeared in, "Pretty in Pink" being one of my absolute faves. I am now almost 50 and I still have such a soft spot for this guy who I massively crushed on. There is a lot to be said for not getting caught up in the whole Hollywood thing and just following your own road and doing so well. Fair play to you, Andrew.
I crushed on him as a young kid in the 80s because his characters were so sweet, adorable, and sensitive. How wonderful to know he really is that way. 🥰
In 1985, Andrew was my FAVORITE actor ! I was the only one of all my friends who thought Andrew was " the cutest" of all the BRAT PACK.Everyone always asked me if I was blind. I thought Andrew was the best actor in ST. ELMO'S FIRE.I purchased a "signed copy" of his new book the first day it was available.He's done some incredible movies 🎥 for THE HALLMARK CHANNEL too.
@@jennydannyp7229 That's right I was checking the directory and I unearthed your profile, and though you seemed worth talking to, my pleasure meeting you here..
What a humble guy. He was one of my favorites in the 80s. I worked at a beach movie theater when Weekend at Bernie's came out in '89. It was huge hit--the perfect vaca. summer beach movie. We played through the entire summer, and it was great to hear the audience roaring with laughter every night. I still have to stop and watch it every time it passes by on TV. Andrew's looking fantastic, and it's cool his voice hasn't noticeably changed a bit.

I saw Andrew in New York at a store/ restaurant. He realized i recognized him but went on his way as i did. He is lucky to be able to walk around without being recognized. I'm the same age as he is, so of coarse i noticed him. I wish him the best!
I literally never understood why he was so popular then, he never had that ‘something something’ so it makes so much sense to hear his own honesty now. #80sFOREVER ❤️💥🙌🏻🎥⚡️🎶💯
I was born the year "Pretty in Pink" came out but I saw it at some point as a teenager or college student and fell in love with him. Molly knew what she was talking about when she said "He's sensitive, he's poetic... that's the kind of guy I'd fall for." She was right! Now I'm 35 and while he looks a bit different (as do I!), he's still got the boyish voice and charm! Also, I've never heard someone try to describe the difference between stress and anxiety like he did, but I completely understand what he means by it...

I still remember when ,"Pretty in Pink" came out on VHS.It was one of those rare days when no one was home and I actually got the TV to myself!!lol.I loved that movie.I could so relate to Molly's character.Still one of my favorites! To be a teenager again..I miss those days.Life was so much easier.
I had such a crush on Andrew when I was a kid! He was the type of guy I’d go for, not the big, squared jawed quarterback type. He’s still o cute and doesn’t look fake like some other actors his age. 💖

Many legends in acting back in 1980s deserve so much credit for how they touched the lives of many people watching tv ,they helped build dreams in acting changed lives of people ,through tv ,god bless this man and all who followed in his footsteps i sure do miss real tv real shows and creativity of producers from back then , ill always miss those years when tv was real ,mtv was real music ,it seems as if 2021 is just a nightmare

He *was* underrated as an actor. Do you actually understand what that means? He never ceased doing well, he has been a successful director for years (Google it!) He never developed a reputation for being difficult. His son Sam is a successful actor as well. Just because you “think” you know all things doesn’t mean you do. ✔️
I was definitely always in love with Andrew than any of the male actors.
Always my favorite. The quietness of his demeanor 🥰
I'm really much impressed about your profile and personalities. I also admire your good sense of humor on here. I don't normally write in the comment section, but I think you deserve this complement.
Master your craft and don't rely on charisma. Wise teacher.
I'm an Andrew McCarthy fan. He is so talented. He and Johnathan Silverman were so funny in Weekend at Bernies.
Very funny

They have such a great dynamic together where it made the ridiculous and absurd plot points so memorable to keep your attention to the very end. I grew up watching this movie as a child and it has a great deal of nostalgic and sentimental value I cherish.
Pretty in Pink is 🌸 a Classic...
glad to see he’s directing
Even though I was in my late 20's when that film was released, I still count it as one of my favorites. The cast was just so endearing and perfect in their respective roles...captured teenage "angst" perfectly...and the soundtrack is timeless...
I have the 33 rpm record album.....and it's PINK!
He never struck me as handsome in the 80s, but he does now!!! 💛
Back then he was cute, now he is really handsome.
The same can be said for the actor Robby Benson who was well known in the 1970s. He was what you'd call cute. As an older man, he is very handsome.
Like fine wine..he’s one of those men that became handsome with age.
Very handsome now - it's nice to see a man and anyone in Hollywood mature gracefully
@@lovescoffee7189 Robby Benson was always gorgeous, with his stunning blue eyes and beautiful hair, but he was so shy and sweet, so different then many hollywood actors of his era, ...love Robby so much.💗
He’s a year older than me. Still just as dreamy as the 80s
Always loved him. But I was rooting for Duckie.
Same.
Jon Cryer is such the underrated actor. He truly has genius. I wish more people recognized his unique brand of talent.
They filmed the prom at the same ballroom as my prom 4 months afterwards in 1985..the Crystal Ballroom at the Biltmore Hotel
LOL! I think we all were. But he turned out fine... He became a chiropractor and moved in with his rich brother on the beach 😝
His name is Blaine?!
good interview with a very real and engaging actor - Molly definitely made the right choice for Pretty in Pink!!
I'm glad JH respected her pointing out to him that Andrew was the one.
@@Muhdah1972 Not the same without John Hughes. I loved pretty much everything he directed.
Team Duckie 4ever.
@@jedijones Lol!😂
Great actor. It's a shame that not much came in the last few years. My favorite films remain are "CLASS, Heaven Help Us, Pretty in Pink, Mannequin, Weekend at Bernie’s 1+2"
And how about his TV stuff, one of my favs of his is the episode"Grandpa's Ghost" of 80's hit TV series: Steven Spielberg's- Amazing Stories!
Andrew McCarthy is so forgotten about, it's nice to see that he is doing well. Loved him in those classic 80s movies.
He was great on:📽🎬🎞
"Less than zero"
"Pretty in pink"
Hope you don't mind sending me a friend request so we can know more about our self thanks.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹.
Would love to see him as male lead now.
Most definitely, I love the brat pack actors and he was one of my favorite.
Me too !
As opposed to a female lead? :)
I’m 55 and loved the “Brat Pack” and their movies. Those movies helped define my generation of X’rs as we grew up. For me, the term is endearing. Andrew was always one of my favorites from that group. I wish the group could do a movie together now that they’re all in their late 50’s. I think it would be a hit!
That's a great idea. Reunite the pack.
What would they do? Raid each others Lipitor? Snort Geritol? Chase a fat, wrinkly Ringwald around?
I am 51 and seeing Andrew and listening to his words make me happy with “just fine “ thank you for mannequin and weekend at bernie’s, the 80’s were the best decade for music and films 🏴
Such a wonderful interview/segment. Made me tear up. Andrew has done well! He definitely deserved to be in that 75th Anniversary of Paramount Pictures photo session. He has cemented his place in the history of motion pictures and I love him for what he brought to film, and I know I'm not the only one.
Hope you don't mind sending me a friend request so we can know more about our self thanks.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹.
I’m around the same age as the brat pack and grew up watching them. Miss those days and miss my youth. Loved those movies.
OH! I'm gonna have to re-watch some of his old movies! I graduated high school in 1984 and I was in love with Andrew McCarthy !!
I love him in The Joy Luck Club!!
He was In that?? Might finally check it out
@@deesee3622 - he sure was! Played the same kind of sensitive guy of privilege that he did in Pretty in Pink; stands up to his elitist, bigoted mother in Joy Luck Club.
Always loved Andrew McCarthy!
Pretty in Pink has always been one of my favorite movies because of him and Molly's chemistry. It's still a classic. To think he gives all the credit to Molly, and how she changed his life is beautiful. I've always loved all the characters in the Brat pack and have always thought it was a wonderful thing. I didn't know he was directing such films today, he's such a talent. All the best to you Andrew. You're a class act!
One of those actors that don't seem to age, or ages better then most.
Both he and Ralph Macchio...aging EXTREMELY gracefully! Both seem like genuinely NICE gentlemen too...
Just LOVE Andrew McCarthy...🥰😍🤩!!!
Those of us who were in our early 20's in the mid 1980's, remember it as the high point of the USA.
It was a great time to be alive. I don't think we will ever see a time like that again, ever.
And plenty of us who were younger than that also.
I was in 5th and 6th grade in the mid 80s. It was 1 of the best times in US history. 1 of the best presidents was leading us into prosperity and technology was up and coming
I agree.
@@dinamule3073 Me too, although the technology we're enjoying now with the internet and better TVs is certainly a plus to current times.
Everybody thinks that about there generation
Awesome man 😁👍😁😎😎😎😎 Will watch him any time...loved all the brat pack movies cuz it was ALL OUR TIME 💜💜💜💜
Andrew McCarthy is an incredible actor who I grew up admiring watching Weekend at Bernie's and the Bratpack movies. The fact that he can relate to actors as he takes the role of Director and disarming the anxiety is truly amazing.
Oh he was adorable. Loved him.
Grew up with posters of this guy on my wall🥰 Luv him!!
Weekend at Bernies and Heaven Help Us are classics
Heaven Help Us is still the best. Lust is the beast within! 😂
@@samanthab1923 Best!!!!!!
@@doyouluvit I showed that movie to my parents who both went to catholic school and my dad said they got the Brothers right. Complete sadiest.
@@samanthab1923 awesome!!!
I had the hots for him in the '80's. He had the sexiest eyes and smile! I wondered what happened to him. Thanks for this video. 😍😘🙋🏼
He'll always be my, Blaine!!!!!! Lol Loved him then, love him now! ❤ Glad to see he's good! 😊
Same here. I also liked him in Mannequin. Yes, Mannequin.
He has aged well like a bottle of fine wine 🍷. Can’t say that about too many Hollywood actors.
I'm really much impressed about your profile and personalities. I also admire your good sense of humor on here. I don't normally write in the comment section, but I think you deserve this complement.
McCarthy still exudes that boyish charm that made him popular in the 80's.
My favorite McCarthy film is Less Than Zero. Him and Robert Downey Jr. were so good in it.
Ahhh that was my favorite movie of his as well! Such great performances by young actors. Loved Jami Gertz too!
Yep, my fav also
Even more handsome now. 💕
Back then I actually did think he was kinda feminine type of guy in the movies but now that I'm older I get this type of a softer kind man.
He is far from gay
@@salozmen29 Did I say he was gay? Tf? Learn how to read.
@@roxxylala26 You totally implied that. Such a trashy thing to call people. I'd expect no less from Trump voting trash like you.
@@salozmen29 First of all, troll.. please get a brain transplant cus the one you have doesn't work for sh*t. Read everything I wrote you dumb f*ck. There is such a thing of a softer, some might say a more feminine type guy who is a cis heterosexual man. Btw, not that it matters but I'm definitely a Democrat, dumbazz.
I get what you're saying about a softer kind of guy. I just now am beginning to appreciate that type as opposed to the "macho alpha male."
Just saw him in Good Girls and it was such a treat. I know he’s not acting full-time anymore, but I wish he would reconsider.
I'm sure like most actors of any age, he would work if someone offered him a good role. The ones that aren't working aren't being asked to.
@@jedijones I think he’s more interested in directing now than acting.
Wow. Andrew McCarthy really is promoting this doc. I can't wait to see it. I grew up during the Brat Pack era...wow, what a time to be a kid!!
We love you & so thrilled you figured it all out & did what made you Happy !! ♥️♥️
Your comment is spot on, how're you doing over there?
Every time I see Andrew McCartney, Rob Lowe and all of the other 80s stars it brings back so many memories for me. I had their magazine pics plastered all over the inside of my desk at school as a teen in the 80s. I was transfixed by every movie they appeared in, "Pretty in Pink" being one of my absolute faves. I am now almost 50 and I still have such a soft spot for this guy who I massively crushed on. There is a lot to be said for not getting caught up in the whole Hollywood thing and just following your own road and doing so well. Fair play to you, Andrew.
Your comment is spot on, how're you doing over there?
I crushed on him as a young kid in the 80s because his characters were so sweet, adorable, and sensitive. How wonderful to know he really is that way. 🥰
In 1985, Andrew was my FAVORITE actor !
I was the only one of all my friends who thought Andrew was " the cutest" of all the BRAT PACK.Everyone always asked me if I was blind. I thought Andrew was the best actor in ST. ELMO'S FIRE.I purchased a "signed copy" of his new book the first day it was available.He's done some incredible movies 🎥 for THE HALLMARK CHANNEL too.
Good morning Rhonda, how are you?
I, like Molly Ringwald, would have chosen Andrew too! He was always one of my favorites!
Andrew is humble and kind! Thanks for all those 80’s movies !
Your comment is spot on, how're you doing over there?
@@DavidSmith-bk7dv awesome hope your doing well! Now all we need is a time capsule to go back to the 80s
@@jennydannyp7229 That's right I was checking the directory and I unearthed your profile, and though you seemed worth talking to, my pleasure meeting you here..
I seek for friendship with you, which was why i wrote you. I think it's appropriate to begin by knowing each other .where're you from?
Hope the message I sent you those not boarded you?
Isn't Andrew now a travel writer? Would love for him to get travel rolling again. We need him!
So incredibly humble. I have always been a fan. ❤
What a humble guy. He was one of my favorites in the 80s. I worked at a beach movie theater when Weekend at Bernie's came out in '89. It was huge hit--the perfect vaca. summer beach movie. We played through the entire summer, and it was great to hear the audience roaring with laughter every night. I still have to stop and watch it every time it passes by on TV.
Andrew's looking fantastic, and it's cool his voice hasn't noticeably changed a bit.
Excellent interview. Andrew is one awesome guy. Good luck to him always.
He’s always had a beautiful smile.’I’m glad he has found his place in life and is happy.

I saw Andrew in New York at a store/ restaurant. He realized i recognized him but went on his way as i did. He is lucky to be able to walk around without being recognized. I'm the same age as he is, so of coarse i noticed him. I wish him the best!
Watching this I felt like I was back in time..This has put big smile on my face..i cant wait to watch the documentary
I'm glad that they did a feature on Andrew McCarthy, instead of James Spader. I've had a grudge with him since Pretty in Pink.
Agreed. An article then where he stated, ‘he didn’t date fat chicks’ came back to haunt him.
@@TheKat1959 His honesty was refreshing.
Great story piece. Im the same age and yep getting old.
Wherevdid time go. Seems like few years ago i waa watching St Elmos Fire in college with friends
I 👍
I literally never understood why he was so popular then, he never had that ‘something something’ so it makes so much sense to hear his own honesty now. #80sFOREVER ❤️💥🙌🏻🎥⚡️🎶💯
Andrew is so relatable and he brings the 80s vibe and vulnerability to life. 80s was so bratty tho !
I hate that the media called the young actors brats
ageism 🙄
They missed movies he made for Hallmark....my favorite "Straight from the Heart."...
His baby face and baby voice is what I loved about him just pure innocence.
Incredible actor. Always enjoyed his films, glad he made it through.

For Gen-X... We loved the Brat Pack, including Andrew. He was and is still so lovable.🥰
Funny thing is all of them, with the exception of Molly Ringwald, are end stage baby boomers, not Gen Xers.
@@ilovegoodsax - Right!!! But, we looked-up to them...
@ilovegoodsax yep, you are correct.1965 starts gen X. They were popular with end boomers and Xers.
I’d say he’s done better than ‘just fine’.
I was born the year "Pretty in Pink" came out but I saw it at some point as a teenager or college student and fell in love with him. Molly knew what she was talking about when she said "He's sensitive, he's poetic... that's the kind of guy I'd fall for." She was right! Now I'm 35 and while he looks a bit different (as do I!), he's still got the boyish voice and charm! Also, I've never heard someone try to describe the difference between stress and anxiety like he did, but I completely understand what he means by it...

Many legends in acting back in 1980s deserve so much credit for how they touched the lives of many people watching tv ,they helped build dreams in acting changed lives of people ,through tv ,god bless this man and all who followed in his footsteps i sure do miss real tv real shows and creativity of producers from back then , ill always miss those years when tv was real ,mtv was real music ,it seems as if 2021 is just a nightmare
