I am sad whilst making this tribute, as I reconnect with what endeared me to Dick Van Patten's 'Tom Bradford' on Eight is Enough. He was the role model and father I did not have. He was loving, he was kind, he was fallible, he was fatherly and he was funny. I'm quite sure, as good an actor as he was, there was a lot of Dick Van Patten in Tom Bradford. For five seasons including the first couple which nearly ended its run due to the death of its leading actress Diana Hyland, Dick was a lovable tv dad; stern when he needed to be, and tender when one of his tribe was hurting. 'Eight is Enough' was a rite of passage for me, as I was entering my own adolescence when this show screened in Australia from 1978 to 1982. My sister and I would love the shared experience of Saturday nights with the Br...

Dirty Tennis Instructional Video Tape with Dick Van Patten, Bruce Jenner and Nicollette Sheridan from 1989. Dirty Tennis is a 1989 short comedy parody video about tennis instructional videos. It stars Dick Van Patten, Bruce Jenner and Nicollette Sheridan. It was written by James Van Patten and directed by Jonathan Baker and George J. Bloom. The short comedy was released on VHS in 1989. The Philadelphia Inquirer shared that Dick Van Patten as a "self-described tennis hacker" and Bruce Jenner as a "dashing Olympic-class athlete" would seem unlikely as a comic duo. They expanded that the teaming of the two such unlikely men "in this parody of a how-to program works wonderfully," and "not solely because of the contrast in their ages and conditioning." Van Patton as a mischievous bad fellow p...
