Egon is played by actor John Vella, who was also Jeeter in Wild Rebels.


Kevin should have caught that.  Well "somebody" should have.

My question is: do you think they actually didn't catch it? Or maybe they felt it wasn't worth pointing out, since there wasn't a joke to be made?

Sometimes the guys don't make comments you might expect them to, if they consider them to be low-hanging fruit. UNLESS it's uniquely funny. If they took every opportunity to point out an actor who was in other things, that'd probably get tiresome real fast because most actors have also played other parts in other films and shows. I don't think anything is particularly lost by not doing so, except for the viewers who recognize the actor, and wonder if they're the only ones who did.

They may have considered it distracting for their revival and not enough fans remember Season 2, but I'd guess someone was snoozing.

Jeeter was no Fats, I'll admit that....

Well, I still enjoyed this one, and I'm looking forward to the next 3 (and hopefully more in the future)  :clap:
