Saturday Afternoon TV

This Saturday afternoon I had the fortune of stumbling across one of my favorite "under-rated" movies on TV One....."Moving"! (By the way, TV One is a new "African-American" station. I have never seen this station before. Of course, I am not a huge fan of "227" and "Sister, Sister" reruns, so that may explain why I have never stumbled across it).

Essentially, "Moving" is about a family that's, well, moving. The main character, played by Richard Pryor, gets a new job in Idaho and must move his entire family from Jersey to Boise. This movie is good (and under-rated) for several reasons:

1. It's one of Richard Pryor's last quality movies before his disease really starts to outwardly take it's toll.
2. It stars Randy Quaid in a hilarious role as the obnoxious next door neighbor (a role that pre-dates his very similar role in the "Vacation" movies), and a young Dana Carvey as the split personality psycho that Pryor hires to drive his beloved Audi to Boise.
   
3. It also stars the super hot Stacey Dash, best known for her role as the token black friend in "Clueless" (as a side note, Stacey was 29 years old when she did "Clueless!" I was shocked. Check it out.). By the way, she's 41 now...still not too shabby (see below).
4. There is a King Kong Bundy sighting. King Kong Bundy makes an appearance as one of the movers that Richard Pryor hires...good stuff.
5. It's really funny.
