246.0. "Someone Like Me" by GLDOA::VONIER (I Brake for Hallucinations) Wed Apr 06 1994 09:32

    Has anyone seen the show "Someone Like Me" on Monday nights at 8:30 on
    NBC.  It star a 14ish year old girl named Gabby Hoffman.  
    
    Who is this little girl, how did she get her own show?
    
    My kids like it, on the same order as Blossom.  The guy that plays the
    stepfather is not real hard on the eyes!
    
    Cheers

    Gabby Hoffman's claim to fame was her role in Sleepless in Seattle -
    she played the Tom Hanks' son's friend - the computer whiz

    She is also, methinks, the daughter of Andy Warhol. Or somebody like
    that.

    And she played the daughter in Field of Dreams.  And she was the sister
    in that boy-coming-of-age film last summer which Mel Gibson directed
    (and played the part of the scarred loner who tutored the boy).
    
    I thought Gaby was OK in FoD; I think she's been mediocre in everything
    else, and her singing (even if it WAS for comedic effect) was so
    abysmal last night that I abandoned my initial plan to give the pilot a
    fair viewing :-}  .  Alex and I couldn't scramble for the remote fast
    enough.
    
    It was on long enough for me to make a mental note that the parents
    were written as total dolts.
