Can you identify this woman?

In the episode in which a fire starts at the birthday party and George, ever the coward, tramples his way out, his girlfriend sure looks like Melanie Chartoff from the old "Fridays" show. Anyone know if that's her?

Yes.

It's her.

Oops! I misread your

question (obviously I

thought you were asking

*who* she was...).

Yes---you're right---

that was Melanie!

^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*&*^&*

She was the principal

on the old Fox show,

"Parker Lewis Can't Lose."

The running gag was that

the glass pane on her door

(that had her name on it)

was broken each week, in

some way or another...

I *loved* that show---

very, very creative!

George,

her? I have no idea what the Fridays show is, but I am positive that the girlfriend was played by Melanie Chartoff. She played the principal, Ms. Musso on 'Parker Lewis Can't Lose'.

	Yes, that was her.  Remember, Larry David and Micheal
	Richards were also on "Fridays."  Mary-edith Burrell,
	who played the mother of the boy who picked up on Jerry's
	swearing, was another cast member, as was the guy who
	played the blabber-mouth rabbi last season.  (I forget
	his name.  Bruce something, perhaps?)

...Mahler?

Wow, I didn't recognize any of them! I'm the only person in my circle of friends who even remembers the show. It was seen as a knockoff of SNL at the time, but it was quite good - certainly better than today's SNL!

Is it being shown on any cable channels today?

I loved "Fridays". Michael Richards was great on the show. I remember a funny skit when he was playing with his army men. Richards was dressed up in army fatigues and waas wearing a helmet, and was making battle noises. The scene went on for at least 5 minutes, just him and his army men. Great show!

I don't think it was on for more than a season, maybe two. I have looked for it in the past, but most likely we won't ever see it again:-(

It was, what - 1982? And Michael Richards looked old even then!

"TAKE ... A ... PILL!!!"

Fridays was a low rent Saterday Night Live copy. It aired from April 11, 1980 to October 22, 1982. While the skits were weak the cast was terrific and many have wound up on Seinfeld. here is the cast: Mark Blankfield Mary edith Burrell Menanie Chartoff Larry David Darrow Igus Brandis Kemp Bruce Mahler Michael Richards John Roarke

Julia Louis Dryfus played briefly on Saturday Night Live shortly after the origional cast left.

I left out the funniest of all the Fridays cast: Rich Hall. My appologies.

There's an article about Fridays at a WWW site:

Any Fridays re-runs available!??? Who owns the rights to that show and why won't they be re-released after the success of Michael on Stienfeld!?
