Boomer Has It
In the clip above, Boomers Rob Reiner and Bruce Vilanch reminisce about the '50s kids show Winky Dink and You, part of the vintage fun of WOW's Generation Boom, a comprehensive four-part series on Baby Boomers and their world, airing on TV Land beginning next Tuesday, September 26, at 10PM. (Watch the clip)
After the jump, Generation Boom's co-producer Loren Roberts relates a behind-the-scenes story, like a DVD extra before there's a DVD.
On a recent shoot for WOW’s upcoming series Generation Boom, our very own uber-talented DP, Thad Wadleigh, was regaling the crew with tales of how people have been telling him for TWO decades that he looks like actor-singer Rick Springfield. THEN the real deal walked in.\
Now, Rick is actually 15 years older than Thad, but he hasn’t aged a day since he was lookin’ in the mirror all the time. Seriously. He looks amazing. But, Thad. Well, Thad is a normal 42-year-old suburban dad. Which means he looks older than his years. And he’s not as trim as a pop star. Rick was a good sport about the comparison. And went on to share with us some funny and juicy stories from his wild life as a baby boomer. But he won't comment on the pact he made with the devil to stay young forever. Even though it's something every boomer wants to know!
