Same here. I was in elementary school when it came out in late 80s. I do remember watching a few new episodes growing up, but like you. I didn't watch the whole show until after it went off the air.
Brothers for life. RIP Glenn
I'm not sure I believe in fate, but I know that crossing paths with Glenn Lewis Frey in 1970 changed my life forever, and it eventually had an impact on the lives of millions of other people all over the planet. It will be very strange going forward in a world without him in it. But, I will be grateful, every day, that he was in my life. Rest in peace, my brother. You did what you set out to do, and then some." -Don Henley
Not sure if anyone is interested, but I know for a long time the only way to watch the Dead Dog Records arc of "Wiseguy" was on YouTube videos that were presented inside some weird theater background. In other words, shrunk inside the screen. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that someone else has uploaded "full screen" copies.

Yes, I downloaded all of them in case they disappear.
Thanks for the links. Do you have a recommendation of how to download them. The tool I've used previously no longer seems to work.
Wow CA thank you for uploading these. I remember watching Wise Guy when it was on tv and loving the show. I also thought Ken Wahl was so cute. I love the episodes with Glenn and Debbie Harry and have seen bits and pieces when they were up on you tube. I forgot about FM being in the show. I will have to watch these today before they are taken down. Thanks again CA.
I use a program called Freemake (which is no longer free like it used to be). It downloads YouTube videos and convert them to all different formats. I am just so used to using it, and I really like the results. It doesn't download videos from all sites, and it won't download YouTube movies that you pay for (which I found out when I rented "Let's Get Harry"), but it's a pretty good program.

Yep - If you've never seen the Wiseguy 'Dead Dog' arc, I would definitely recommend watching all of the episodes if you have time. It is very entertaining and, probably, Glenn's finest acting performance overall.

Yes. He's even convincing when he says "Bright Side" is a great song and could be a big hit. lol
Actually, acting-wise, I think his finest performance is in Nash Bridges. He definitely demonstrates a great deal of range here, though, and I can see it being a contender for his top role.
