When
Mr. Dime looks for a rock star he can manipulate to
make money, dumb and unsuspecting Kevin Somers gets
the job, believing it is his ticket to fame, fortune
and a solid gold Trans Am.
As
a promotional idea, Kevin convinces Christine to let
him perform on the show, even though he won't be paid
for it. Even then, whenever he's ready to play, something
comes up -- whether it's an autograph, a coffee break
or the end credits -- that keeps him from performing.
Meanwhile,
Lisa, hoping to get Rodney to come to her birthday
party, tells Rodney that CFL star Tony Gabriel (his
favorite sports star) is coming. When it turns out
he is, it's too late because Rodney already said no.
The only way he could get to go, however, is if he
kisses Lisa. When he does, he discovers that he actually
likes it. |
DID
YOU NOTICE?
- The
most complete tape of this episode that exists is
missing the opening two minutes, and is a home-made
tape made from YTV.
- Kevin
Somers'"Rock Star Outfit" is the same
one he wore in the Whatever
Turns You On pilot, when he was trying
to get on the show.

CLASSIC
QUOTES
(Rodney's
trying to get Lisa to invite him to her party, which
Tony Gabriel is attending)
Rodney: But...(reluctantly) but,
I'll let ya kiss me!
Lisa: Nooo! Not unless.....you kiss
*ME*!
Rodney: (To himself) Ahh, Tony Gabriel
did it, and he's not a sissy. (Rodney kisses Lisa)
Hey, this is FUN! (keeps kissing her, which is a strain,
as she's somewhat taller than him).
Christine: Hey! Everybody break out
the champagne! I think Rodney's just hit maturity!
Way to go, kid! |
