Those who remember the show will remember the three brothers - the oldest of which was the mullet-sporting Zachery Ty Bryan (second from the left in the red shirt).
Anyway, after spending many a school afternoon watching him on TV he left my life for some time. I can't profess to be sad about it - he was just on TV one day and not the next.
But in the last two weeks and adult Zachery Ty Bryan has appeared before me in no less than two really bad movies.
Regular readers to this blog will know that I have a penchant for really, really bad movies occasionally - the idea being that sometimes movies can be so bad that they're enjoyable to watch.
The first movie I saw in which Zachery starred as a college jock/revhead (hell of a combination, right?) was Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.
Bad bad bad.
But the second, the one that really takes the cake, was the sci-fi/horror Thor: Hammer of the Gods.
That's right, young Zachery plays Thor.
It had everything - unnecessary gore, atrocious acting, mediocre special effects, duels between good friends over women - but the best part of it all was Zachary's appalling attempt at a Scandinavian accent. It was like the voice coaches worked with him for about two months and then just said "Fuck it. This is as good as it gets."
Think of a normal American accent with about one or two words a sentence slightly drawn out to make them sound foreign. It was an experience I'll never forget.
