Charlie Grace - S01E01 Take Me To The Pilot - September 14 1995 ABC . . Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, who played #sweathog Freddie 'Boom Boom' Washington on Welcome Back, Kotter (1975-1979), played Detective Gossett along with Don Stark’s Detective Simms. The pair of detectives hate former cop and current private investigator Charlie Grace and did everything they could to make his life miserable. It felt like a #PulpFiction baller move to have a sweathog in your show.  . . Charlie Grace aired on ABC opposite NBC’s Friends and so only 9 episodes were made. Only 6 of those made it to air. And only 4 of those can be found on one of the non-YouTube video sites. Charlie Grace’s cancellation was the reason I refused to ever watch Friends first run. I think I later enjoyed other shows that were sacrificed in the opposite-Friends-timeslot.  . . Charlie Grace was played by Mark Harman, who was also a producer on the show. It was created by Robert Singer of Supernatural fame. Yes, Bobby Singer on that show was named after him. Charlie Grace was a #hardboiled detective show, and the first two episodes were complete gut-punches when you found out who did it. @HBOMax should really add this show to the service. Or at least #IMDbTV. . . At the time I was very impressed that Smashing Pumpkins' cover of Landslide made it into an episode. Leelee Sobieski’s Jenny Grace (the daughter) was a fan.  . . #charliegrace #LawrenceHiltonJacobs #FreddieWashington #BoomBoom #FreddieBoomBoomWashington #thesweathogs #WelcomeBackKotter #HBOMAX #friends #friendsnbc #friendshbomax #markharmon #acab #LeeleeSobieski #SmashingPumpkins #landslade #hardboileddetective #robertsinger #supernatural #takemetothepilot #donstark #detectivefiction #cindykatz #robertcostanzo #ncis #summerschool  (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA-Zo8oHphH/?igshid=b02b1idb0xiq
