Don’t forget about the Satanic Panic, which would be an awesome band name if it’s not already.
That’s Bernie Kopell, aka Siegfried.
You were not alone in that belief. Someone else said the same thing. His name was Max Wright, incidentally. Sadly, he passed away in 2019. He is occasionally confused with Austin Pendleton, Max from The Muppet Movie, who has the same name as Max Wright, which doesn’t help. To make things even more confusing, they were once in the same movie- Simon*, which came out in 1980. Austin is, thankfully, still with us.
*It’s like K-PAX if the psychiatrist was the one who convinced the guy he was an alien.
Excuse me, but would the star of 101 episodes of ALF and 15 episodes of Misfits of Science sink this low?
Don’t answer that.
Our parents and their parents all tried to conform to a type of idyllic family stereotype that was never attainable. Family members were ignored and ostracized for behaving outside that stereotype. Excuses like “it’s a fad” started specifically because of the need to explain away the behavior without allowing any follow up questions.
It took a long time but we are finally able to embrace our differences and recognize what’s actually normal. Conservatives are still fighting to live that unattainable lifestyle and mad at everyone else cause they can’t.
And could you imagine what that does to you mentally? Trying to square the circle? I’d imagine people that subscribe to that ideal have vastly higher domestic abuse rates. As long as they aren’t murdering small animals and hurting other people, your kids and family are growing fine.
This just screams MST3K PSA!
This picture looks like the basis for 1/4 of the Kids In The Hall’s skits.
I feel like Bruce McCulloch had a closet full of flannel shirts with the arms cut off.
