TV showed White Lightning today. I first saw it at the PX theater. I had to watch it completely. "You a good 'ol boy...."
Right after his passing they played the Xfiles episode Improbable on BBCA where he played the card counting gambler alter ego of a serial killer. I thought I’d seen them all more than once but I do not remember this episode.
The new gal, Reyes (Anabeth Gish), had discovered a numerology connection with this particular serial killer. At the end, the killer was killed and, in alter ego land, a separate set of its own, then they took out a body bag inplying Burt Reynolds was in it.
The episode ended with a fading picture of this as the camera kept zooming out . . .
Do Wee Do Wee Wee Do . . .
RIP Mr Reynolds!

It's funny, I thought I've seen every episode of the X-files, but I certainly don't recall ever seeing that particular one with Burt. I'll have to try and catch it in re-run world. I guess I was more of a fan of the show with Mulder and Skully, which could explain how I missed some of the later episodes.
I remember going to the drive-in to see Smokey and the Bandit......when the movie ended the cops were on the street heading out of the drive in nailing all the guys who headed out of the drive-in going sideways...😎
Yeah, probably how I missed it too. When Mulder and Scully became the guest stars, I lost interest too . . .
Although, I don't mind the new characters, John Doggett and Monica Reyes, but I feel the show lost it's campy-ness with Mulder out of the picture.

Can't forget Norm MacDonald as Burt Reynolds on SNL. I laugh everytime. I get the feeling Burt was like that in real life.
