It's cool to see so many other fans of this wonderful show out there. Add me to the list. I was born in 1969, watched the show off-and-on during its initial run (I wasn't mature enough yet to realize just how good the show was). Talk about a program that was truly ahead of its time. Through syndication I caught up to the show years later, and now I'm like all of you - even as I've seen everything already, I got my two DVD seasons and can't understand why we can't get the third. I recently stumbled onto a 1979 Sports Illustrated article (one-pager) reviewing the show, very favorably at that. It's the baseball preview issue with Rice and Parker on the cover. If it's not web-available or anyone wants to read it, I'll transcribe - it's probably about 15 paragraphs. I'm also wondering if any Carver memorbilia is out there - if I could find a Carver poster for my office I'd be euphoric (not Phil-PCP euphoric, but close). I also loved that ESPN ad where Reeves claimed the colleges today were all copying the offensive sets Carver ran. Anyway, hello to all, and I look forward to running some laps with everyone. At least the gym isn't too big! |
