If you’ve never seen Potluck, the movie produced by High Times magazine, consider yourself lucky. The movie is borderline unwatchable, except for Isaac’s brief turn in the first 5 minutes: man’s so good an actor, you believe the movie won’t be that bad until his character gets killed off

I remember watching On the Television. It was on Saturday nights just before I could go out on my own; I watched that show along with Duckman and Weird Science the series on USA. Be interested to see what you can do with that show.
