Richard Dean Anderson - MacGyver

We’ve all heard the phrase “MacGyver it,” but not everyone knows the expression came from a popular television show.

What Ever Happened To Matthew Labyorteaux, ‘Albert Ingalls’ From Little House on the Prairie?

Matthew Labyorteaux  - Little House on the Prairie

Not many shows can say they lasted a decade and over 200 episodes, but the TV adaption of the book Little House on the Prairie is one of them. The American drama about Midwest life in the late 1800s was loved by audiences, so much so that three TV movies followed in later years. The show had star power with old pros Michael Landon, Melissa Gilbert, and Karen Grassle.

The show had plenty of child actors on board, and newcomer Matthew Labyorteaux was one to watch. Playing one of the children on the hit show must have been a dream come true for the kid, but his time on the prairie was done before he was even twenty years old. Let’s see what Matthew has been doing since his time in the old Midwest.

What Ever Happened To Scott Valentine, ‘Nick’ From Family Ties?

Scott Valentine - Family Ties

You can’t list the best family sitcoms of the 80s and not mention Family Ties. It’s where most of us fell in love with Michael J. Fox for the first time. But in later seasons, there was a character that definitely made us tune in every week.

Andrea Elson was known for her work on Alf, which is distinguishable for having what is probably the darkest possible ending for a comedy about an alien puppet. We’re talking about Andrea Elson first though, so we’ll get there.
