Forgotten 80s TV Stars – Where Are They Now?

The 80s (and early 90s) were a golden age for television, filled with wonderful stars who captured our hearts. This video takes a look at three different actors from that era, Julie McCullough, Adrian Zmed and Teri Copley, and explores what they've been up to since their time on the small screen.

This video is not intended for children under the age of 14. Quite frankly, kids...I'm just some random old dude talking about nostalgic TV and movie stuff from a really long time ago and I highly doubt that it is going to interest you.

I have heard for years that Julie McCullough was dropped from growing pains specifically because Kirk Cameron did not want to work with her because she posed for Playboy, and that was against his religious beliefs

On Tik Tok someone saw Adrian Zmed at a convention and walked up to him singing “Prowlin” from Grease 2 and he sang a little of the song and the man can still sing!

When I was stationed in San Diego in 1995, I saw Adrian Zmed star in an off-Broadway production of 'GREASE' with Debbie Gibson as Rizzo and Sally Struthets as Principal McGee. It was awesome!

I remember Adrian Zmed hosted a show called Dance Fever.

At Comedy Central's roast of William Shatner, the late Greg Giraldo notes "T. J. Hooker" and asks, "Whatever to that hot girl you co-starred with Adrian Zmed?"

Adrian was in the audience, and the camera showed him laughing!

I worked with Adrian in the Chicago productions of Prelude to a Kiss and Lend Me a Tenor back around 1990. He was one of the nicest actors I got to know. And I agree with you on Grease 2 Dave! Although it may not be a “better movie” in some aspects, I certainly enjoyed it far more than the original.

always loved grease 1 watched grease 2 more growing up has special place in my heart always preferred grease 2 as a kid agree about Julie loved her in growing pains Dave

[tomflorio]

Boy, you weren't kidding about that "We Got It Maid" theme song. 😄

Adrian Zmed guests spot on Angie. Years later did one episode of Steve Harvey

You can find samples of Julie McCullough's standup on YouTube; she is still good-looking, and she is funny too. It's clean humor. And she has a great Southern accent, which apparently she did not use in the tv shows.

I remember watching We got it made. It was the first US sitcom in saw, I'm from the UK. I was laughing alongside my parents, even though i didn't get the jokes, but it's a happy memory for me.

[xaenon]

The theme to WE GOT IT MADE always reminded me of a commercial jingle, like maybe for a department store or something.

[markgerard]

I believe Adrian also hosted Solid Gold where he shined singing and dancing

As a fellow "pop culture historian", I've been LOVING your channel since I found it. Seriously. Love It. I was born in the mid-60s so your content is absolutely in my wheelhouse. That said.. this is the first of your videos where I felt you gave credit where credit wasn't due.Teri Copley? Come on now. Trying to legitimize her goes against everything I thought your channel was about.

[lorakendall]

I loved TJ hooker when I was little and I defintly loved William shattner and I still do. Thanks for the entertainment. You're the best‼️😀😀😀😀

I remembered that Adrian Zmed hosted the last season or 2 of Dance Fever and was waiting for you to mention it.

I also remember seeing Terri Copley as a celebrity guest on a game show....either $25, 000 Pyramid or Win, Lose or was probably Win, Lose or Draw and after mentioning that she had just had a baby the host asked "Where did you carry it? Under your ARM??"

[cindeed]

Julie looks like Ari Myers from Kate and Allie. I had a crush on Adrian Zemed! Who didn’t! He was great on Dance Fever.

[Darren-rl]

I remember Adrian Zmed from that goofy grease 2 movie with Michelle Phiffer.Andrian was good on Tj Hooker with William Shatner famous for playing Captain Kirk on Star Trek the TV series and Star Trek movies.👍🏻
