StoneMtn Posted July 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Scum of the Earth! (The kings of "Hoodlum Rock".)Actually' date=' I was thinking it was The Who, but I had forgotten about Scum of the Earth, so I'm not sure.Aloha,Brad[/quote']I'm pretty sure that the episode was about the Who concert in Cincinnatti when people were crushed during a riot due to general admission seating. The fictional band, though, used in the episoded in place of The Who was Scum of the Earth (I think).... not to be confused, of course, with the real-life punk band from Montreal called S.C.U.M. (Society Controlled Under Murderers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 No, the episode about the riot at The Who concert did actually use The Who as the name of the act. It wasn't mentioned until about 2/3 of the way through the episode, when, just before the commercial break, Dr. Fever walks out of the station with Carlson saying, "Great. Now it looks like I'm going to see The Who in the company of a narc..."There was a separate episode with/about Scum of the Earth, which was all humourous, and had nothing to do with the Cincinnati riots.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneMtn Posted July 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 That's right! Wasn't it some sort of country/western reference and connection they shared?[color:purple](Personally, I disagree with both of them, of course.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 It was after SCUM fought with Andy, Venus, Fever and Carlson. Andy and Arthur were resting in the dressing room obviously bruised and battered and they reflected on the current state of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phunk_Nugget Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Q. What was the name of the family cat that ALF was often seeking as a meal?A. Lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted July 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Totally! That was hilarious. (At least the WKRP boys won the fight, though. It would have been really funny to actually see the fight. I just can't picture Fever throwing too many punches, and as I recall he was pretty reluctant to stand up when the fight was getting going in the first place.) I miss that show ... and "Taxi".
