- Early McLaren, a teenager who is small for his age, becomes a long distance runner whose self-esteem is totally dependent on winning. A debilitating accident forces him to reassess his attitude with the help of a knowledgeable therapist. Stars a young actor Anthony Kiedis before he became a lead Singer for a musical group Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The tough kid ("Jimmy Plummer") who messes with Early is played by Anthony Kiedis, billed as Cole Dammet.
Goodness me The Red Hot Chilli Peppers Singer, this must have been the first appearance of him on tv
He was the biggest kid on the bus..
What happened?!
@@kidmack1121 No kidding. He must have been on the tail-end of a growth spurt.
I’m glad that I found this film. I never knew that that coach was played by actor David Haskell. He was best known for playing Judas in the 1973 movie called Godspell. David was involved with Godspell when it first started on broadway in the early 1970s. He also appeared in K9, The Boost, and was in one episode of Home Improvement. Sadly he had passed away for over 20 years. I enjoy watching his films. Hopefully he’ll never be forgotten. David Michael Haskell. June 4, 1948 - August 30, 2000.
Seeing these afterschool specials brings back great memories! Watching them after school with my siblings. We loved them! I'm so glad I was a kid during this era....RIP Steve Shaw 🕊️❤️
I 💘 these old movies. Youth very complex
Steve Shaw who plays Early went on to play Eric Fairgate on Knots Landing in 1979-1990. Sadly he died in a car accident in 1990.
Jimmy would become a big rock star one day.
If I'd been made to run 5 miles as punishment, I'd still have been there now!
dang, self burn! :D
That would be illegal. I taught kids in the 1980s, and we were always told that you can challenge a kid to a pushup contest, but you can't force a kid to do pushups. Same with running. You never know if a kid has a heart condition or something that even the kid himself may not know.
Ahhh, the '70s, when girls wore their pants waist around their actual waist instead of halfway down their crack, and boys wore their pants waist around their actual waist instead of down at their knees.
1970s Bus Driver Reports fights on The Bus, even when going home, 1990s, Bullies get away with murder, Mine. I decided to watch this since I found it for The Outcast Creative.
My favorite after school special
I have been looking for this, FOREVER!!!
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day.
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way.
Lol cool 😅👍❤😍😭
Generation x
I remember Steve Shaw (Early in this episode), in a memorable episode of "Little House on the Prairie", where he played a young boy that had leukemia, and wishes to see the Pacific Ocean before he dies..."Having Babies", a TV Movie from 1976, was one of his first performances at the age of 11...Sadly, Steve would die at the age of 25 back in 1990 from a car accident...May he rest in heavenly peace 🙏🙏🙏🙏....Thank you so much for posting another fine performance from this talented actor for all of us to enjoy and remember him by ..Let the good TV Shows play on, and take care! Ms. Elizabeth 📺📼📀📺📼📀
How I recall seeing this Special and how it returns memories to me.
Anthony! How could you? Your not the nice guy I thought you were. We got the all the evidence right here on film.
A+ ending
I grew up with this series, and thought they were great back in the day.
So, if there is anyone out there with more knowledge about this series, I could really use some help in finding a specific episode.
The only thing I can remember is, it's about a boy who gets hurt playing baseball. At the hospital, his family finds out he's dying of leukemia.
And, NO! It's not the movie "Something For Joey" staring Marc Singer. Which is fairly similar to the episode I'm thinking of. It seems that Lance Kerwin was the boy. But, sifting through his IMDB bio with a fine tooth comb, I can't find it. But, he also stars in several episodes throughout the 70's & early 80's.
Have you tried Tip of My Tongue on Reddit?
Yeah, I hate Reddit, too, but most of the movie mysteries get solved.
Give it away now!
Oh man.
Biden must had lots of fun back then 🤣
Lol
they sure did haved ugly cars ined 1978. My fosters father said it that blue car the therapys lady did drived was a "pinto" and it was butt ugly! his is one ofed those afters schools special shows whened TV was TV according to my fosters father. I do haved a bunch ofed these ond discs he buyed for me. That one ofed kid he fighted with ond the bus is ined the "Red Hot Chili Peppers" too.
My fosters father said it he watched all ofed these all ways becaused only they geted 3 channels ined theirs TV at theirs farm. Now we do haved 200 channels at here.
Compared to current day cars?
'78 cars that are classics:
Chevrolet Caprice Classic, Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, Ferrari 308 GTB, Jaguar XJS, BMW 633. And there are some more like these in various range in price...I just can't think of them right now.

I liked trans am cars. My fosters father haves a brown 1977 T/A withed a 400 engine ined it. That car looks awesome and goes radical fast!
@@jacobsparry8525 Dodge Chargers were nice back then too (that model was immortalized as the General Lee in Dukes of Hazzard) as well as the Challenger.

Ring ding dong dong dang dang dong dong dang dang
Stars a young Anthony before he became a Seminole lead singer for The Red Hot Chili Peppers and a full-blown heroin addict for the rest of his life
unbroken1010, I thought Anthony got clean & sober at some point in his singing career...?
@@kimmiekallie He did. The song ‘Under the Bridge’ was all about his struggle with addiction.
@@queencatlady back at it again
Looked this film up while beginning his book Scar Tissue. It is thus far an intense read.
