Dick Van Patten Appreciation Thread

[Tall_James]

In addition to Eight Is Enough, his Love Boat and Love American Style appearances and all of his guest cameos in Weird Al Yankovic videos, Dick Van Patten has been in some great films...

 Spaceballs
 Joe Kidd
 Westworld
 Charly
 High Anxiety
 The Shaggy D.A.
 The Strongest Man in the World

Hell, he even had a son who starred in "Rock and Roll High School"!

Is there anything this guy can't do?

T_James! This is so funny. I once had a dream about skiing, and then ..all of a sudden..everything changed, and I was seated at The Dorothy Chandler Pavillion.
Dick Van Patten was receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award, while the entire auditorium applauded, given to him by Henry Fonda. The whole audience stood, clapping, overwhelmed with emotion. The camera would cut to Meryl Streep, then to Steven Spielberg, every Oscar winner you could imagine.
What a strange and funny dream. Your very strange and funny thread made me remember it! Thank you, T_J.

P.S. I hope you and your family are well, and you are having fun with your baby girl! If your sleep patterns are a little different these days, DO NOT reflect upon the acting genius of Dick Van Patten. You will be awake for hours!

I never cared for Dick. Sorry.

Ellie, dreaming of Dick Van Patten? Hmmmmnnnn.

Actually it sounds like you are one of those people lucky enough to have those "Hollywood Technicolor" dreams chock full of drama and subplot. I envy you. Most of my dreams are disjointed and usually involve me waking up naked in a parking lot or in a classroom.

That's why I posted this thread in the first place!!!
