If they brought this back, would it be successful? And who from the NBC staff would be believable handing out everyday advice to kids? I'd think John Krazinsky and Ellie Kemper(The Office), Troy, Abed, Shirley and Annie(Community) and Christina Applegate from "Up All Night" That's about it. Any ideas?
@scottbaino "If you know me from watching TV past your bedtime, you shouldn't." It was to illustrate the importance of a good night's sleep at a young age.
Damn. I had a TV in my room at that age and even I didn't stay up watching it until THREE! Maybe 11:30 but not 3 AM!! And that kid in the red shirt has no respect for personal space! He's all over the other kid!
@Zenthropa7 was that the name of his character on Hill Street Blues (I never watched the show)? I remember him better from the Woody Allen film "Bananas", where he portrayed the Colonel.
Too bad he left the world the same way as Pat Swayze, Mike Landon and Ben Orr...RIP.
Casey Ellison is the actor who played Allen Anderson on Punky Brewster, and who is one of the kids in the segment (originally in the yellow shirt). Enriquez's character on Hill Street was Lt. Ray Calletano.

@blaqice88 Also, I think Kelsey Grammer would have been great on One To Grow On... Rhea Perlman too.

25 years later & I still don't know who this actor is.
I was a good boy who went to bed on time, lol.

@scottbaino Isn't it rather odd that an actor who was on a late primetime series is doing this segment?

@landrykkb I agree. I guess the parents of the kids watching may have recognized him.
