Man. The 1980s were a great time for sidekicks with weird names.

On one hand you had Theo’s bestie Cockroach on The Cosby Show.

Like a ‘roach, I never go away!

On the other hand you had Mike Seaver’s friend named Boner. Well, sometimes you used both hands with him.

Growing Pains indeed!

Sadly, Andrew Koenig, the actor who played Boner, committed suicide in 2010. Yes, I know how to keep the mood light.

Of course, none of these men can replace my favorite friend of all time . . . Peter from The Cosby Show. Rudy was one lucky girl!

Squeal!
