Oh, sweet mamma-jamma, I have discovered the funniest TV show in the history of the world. It's called Lifestories, and it's an after-school-special-type program produced by HBO in the early '90s. Episodes are repeated regularly on HBO Family. One episode is about a high school linebacker (Ben Affleck), hold for laughter, who turns to steroids to bulk up. He works out in front of a mirror and we see Affleck's face, tense an sweaty, then a quick cut to a buff, muscular body, yet we never see the face and the form in the same shot, oddly enough. Then he gets roid rage and beats the crap out of his girlfriend. Every time he was angered I chuckled, "Oh, no! Don't make Ben Affleck angry, you wouldn't like him when he's angry," Another episode depicts Calista Flockhart, shockingly, as bulemic. Then another episode has an altar boy molested by his priest played by the guy from Nightmare On Elm Street 3. Very fun viewing.

                Sounds like this celebrity-filled HBO show is truly the "Afternoon School Special" From Hell.
                By the way,which guy from "Nightmare...3"plays the molesting priest,since there were plenty of NOESt3 actors that I can name(and try my hardest to figure out who plays this collar-clad culprit):Robert Englund,John Saxon,Craig Wasson,Rodney Eastman,Ken Sagoes...

The doctor guy, the one who encounters Freddy's "mother".

Craig Wasson....also the lameo claustrophobic in Body Double.

Is that the same series that had Helen Hunt as an acid freak?
