Anyone watch the reruns on Nick at Night at 8 CST? This show brings back so many memories from my childhood. I try to watch it whenever I can. Anyone else???

P.S. In the credits, it lists Alan Thicke as having co-credit with the theme song. Anyone know his involvement?

I'm so glad that Nick at Nite is running these. I haven't seen them in years.

I was watching an episode the other night and realized that the show itself wasn't really all that funny (at least to me now). It's more of a nostalgic thing for me.

I still have yet to catch the Very Special Episode with Gordon Jump - the owner of the bicycle shop. That's a classic.

Long live the Gooch!

All I remember from that episode is that he made Arnold and Dudley watch "dirty" cartoons.

And Arnold and Dudley played "King of the Sea" while Gordon Jump took pictures. And the boys drank alcohol and Arnold chewed a lot of gum to cover it up.

Ah, memories.

I also like the episode where Arnold and Kimberly get kidnapped and Arnold escapes out of the bedroom window.

Also the one where the little red haired kid (Arnold's stepbrother) was kidnapped by a guy whose son had died and his wife was going off the deep end with grief.

I think Thicke also wrote the theme from "Facts of Life".
