All2ReelToo - A Pop Culture Podcast

Join us for another episode of All2ReelToo's Pilot Error as we explore the short-lived 1982 sitcom One of the Boys by comparing its rarely seen "lost" pilot with the first episode that actually aired on television.

Lost Pilot
Oliver Nugent moves in with his grandson, Adam, and Adam's college roommate, Jonathan.

Episode 1 – "Too Young or Too Old"
After struggling to find work, Oliver begins to suspect that age discrimination is the reason he keeps getting turned down. Along the way, he befriends Bernard, and the two decide to put together a stage act, leading to plenty of classic sitcom moments.

Starring:

• Mickey Rooney as Oliver Nugent
• Dana Carvey as Adam Shields
• Nathan Lane as Jonathan Burns
• Scatman Crothers as Bernard Solomon
• Francine Beers as Mrs. Green

Guest Stars:

• Wendie Malick as Joan
• Meg Ryan as Jane

We break down , discuss the performances from an incredible cast that includes future stars Dana Carvey, Nathan Lane, Wendie Malick, and Meg Ryan, and decide whether One of the Boys deserved a longer run—or if it was destined to be forgotten.
