If your Mom's okay with it,
I'd like room and board

1:30:03
for quite a while.
1:30:09
Oh.
1:30:11
Okay!
1:30:13
And so Dickie Roberts'
dreams did come true,

1:30:16
but in a way he never
could have imagined.

1:30:18
He created a sitcom
based on his exploits,

1:30:22
and, with Leif Garrett starring
as the Dickie character,

1:30:24
the show quickly climbed
into the top ten,

1:30:26
winning four Emmys.
1:30:27
Here's Dickie and his agent,
Sidney Wernick.

1:30:30
I may have to pee
every 45 minutes,

1:30:31
but at least I get to pee
in a gold toilet.

1:30:33
Dickie didn't forget
his friends,

1:30:35
and they enjoy a weekly spot
on the popular sitcom.

1:30:38
With Grace in charge
of set design,

1:30:40
Sam writing jokes,
1:30:41
and Sally becoming the youngest
choreographer in TV,

1:30:44
Dickie keeps the show
a real family affair.

1:30:47
Brick wall, waterfall,
Danny thinks

1:30:49
he's got it all, but he don't.
1:30:51
And we do.
1:30:52
So boom with that attitude.
1:30:53
A Reese's Pieces, 7 UP.
1:30:55
Mess with us, we mess you up.
1:30:56
And cut. So good.
1:31:01
They're driving me crazy.
1:31:04
As for George and Cyndi,
1:31:05
their ill-fated romance
didn't quite work out.

1:31:07
Would you make yourself useful
and get me a drink?

1:31:14
How about some champagne?
1:31:15
Whatever.
1:31:20
The bottle impact led
to a case of walking amnesia,

1:31:22
and George was last seen
hitchhiking into the desert

1:31:25
to find himself.
1:31:30
Cyndi, soon after,
begged Dickie for a job.

1:31:34
He gave her a guest part
on his show,

1:31:36
on the episode titled
"Cyndi Gets Poison Oak."

1:31:40
Its success led to a spin-off
for Cyndi called,

1:31:43
The Bitch Who Didn't Know
She Was a Bitch.

1:31:46
As for Dickie Roberts,
millions of Americans tuned in

1:31:48
to the sitcom's wedding show
1:31:50
which reflected Dickie's
real-life marriage

1:31:53
to the love of his life, Grace.
1:31:55
The old saying goes,
1:31:56
"There's no business
like show business,"

1:31:58
but as the incredible saga
of "Dickie Roberts,
