Right about the time I started to doubt my knowledge of “turn of the 90’s” television, I realized that it all results from some false knowledge gained during “Parker Lewis Can’t Lose”. Either IMDB.com really jacked this one up, or that show single-handedly has led to a horrifying chain reaction of mislabeled actors and actresses.

While I bow to Pete’s knowledge of Abraham Benrubi, and while his role as Kubiak in “Parker Lewis” was something to behold, he apparently never even set foot on the “Doogie Howser, MD” set. IMDB doesn’t even identify who that orderly was. I guess it will remain a mystery. (At least until I find the exact moment I’m bored out of my mind enough to Google it. I work next this Wednesday, look for it then.)

And while I *was* proud to recognize Corin Nemec’s name somewhere as being Parker Lewis himself, I’ve found out that Jessica Walter, who played President Garcia-Thompson in PCU, and is currently starring on FOX’s “Arrested Development” is apparently no relation to Melanie Chartoff, Principal Musso on “Parker Lewis Can’t Lose”.

I guess if this is the only thing that really racks my brain, I’ll be all right. But until its ALL cleared up, I just don’t know if I can sleep soundly. Has my good friend IMDB betrayed me? Only time will tell.
