I like that look for Andre. He could maybe have battled Lou Ferrigno ("The Incredible Hulk") on a special event show that was running those days, called Battle of the Network Stars. Cheesy premise, but I thought it was actually pretty amusing.

If I remember correctly (and lord it's been a while) there is a good reason it would be a scifi premise. At least one of the episodes, anyway.

I liked the Venus probe that crashed and thought it was on Venus. That show had some wild stuff.
