Checking in with former child stars

So I know this is old news but a recent Salon article actually got me to visit the semi-famous blog of "former actor" Wil Wheaton. It's worth a look if you never have. (The Salon article is also amusing, the Wheaton-relevant bits are on the last page but don't skip over the Melanie Griffith analysis.)

Then, by some strange coincidence, I discovered that Punky Brewster has directed a documentary.

It's good to know the kids, and former co-stars, are doing alright.

And just because my sister said I keep all the good news to myself...



Yes, the first season of Doogie Howser, M.D. is now available on DVD.

Rejoice.
