Question

This question is for my friends list, since nobody else seems to know the answer.

When I was little, I watched some show on Nickelodeon that involved a guy who had his hair sticking up in the back. I think he also wore suspenders and was a total nerd. What was that show? Please keep in mind that the guy was fully grown, and not a student, and that this was in the early to mid 80's. Back when Nickelodeon was first starting out, so it may have been from somewhere else. Since they also showed Laugh-In around the same time.

Could it have been the Adventures of Pete and Pete? Mom had a metal plate in her head, little Pete had a tattoo of a girl on his arm that 'danced' and there was the full grown really nerd-y looking 'strong man' with suspenders and slicked hair and glasses.

That would be "Artie--the strongest man in the WORLD." Loved him, but his hair was slicked back, not pointy.

Ahhh, okay. Well he was the only one I could remember with suspenders. *grin*

Would this possibly have been the Martin Short/Ed Grimly (sp) character?

After looking him up, that's definitely him! Thank you. :D
