I vaguely remember that show.  I don't believe it was on the air for very long.  Didn't Matthew Broderick's father, James Broderick play a part?  I could be mistaken... :-/

Nope, James Broderick was in "Family" where he played Kristy McNichol's father.  But you're right about the duration---the show was only on for 2 seasons.   :)

i believe there was a movie before the t.v. series,melissa sue anderson did play his girlfriend,and vince van patten played his best friend(the football quarterback that ended up stealing melissa sue anderson),and kate jackson played the woman who befriended him while he was hitch-hiking. i remember the movie more than the t.v. series,but i liked it,i must have i remembered it.LOL

Yeah. I do remember that. I remember Kate Jackson played Robin. I remember that because there was a fantasy he had where she was Robin Hood and they are shooting arrows at some unknown enemy.

Didn't Lance play in a movie called "The Lonliest Runner"? It was about a kid who was a bed wetter.

That was an afterschool special. There was one disturbing scene, where his mother hung his wet bedsheet outside of his bedroom window so that when he was walking home with his friends, they would all see it and he was humiliated. I don't remember the ending but I do remember that scene in particular.
