1987 sitcom predicts Moammar Gadaffi's death
By EJ DicksonOctober 20th, 2011, 10:15 pmComments (23)Even though Moammar Gadaffi has been deceased for less than 24 hours, that was ample enough time for bloggers to scour the Internet for cheesy '80s sitcoms that made oblique predictions for the former Libyan dictator's date of death. Fortunately, we didn't have to wait long, as Mediaite has posted a clip from the pilot of 1987 Fox sitcom Second Chance (starring a young, significantly less snarky Matthew Perry), which correctly predicted the year of Gadaffi's death.
In the first moments of the pilot, a deceased man (played by actor Kiel Martin), who dies in a hovercraft accident (!), is sent up to St. Peter's sexy celestial loft office, where just before his arrival, Col. Moammar Gadaffi has been condemned to an eternity in hell, to thunderous audience applause. Although the date on screen reads "July 29, 2011," the year of Gadaffi's death must have been one of the few things that the writers got right, as the show was canceled after just one season. You'll see why immediately - check the clip out below.

I totally thought of this last night, but couldn't remember the name of the sitcom and it was driving me nuts!
Osamonga Bin Laden is dead.
Mongmar Gaddafi is dead.
Honsi Mongbarak is nearly dead.
2011, not a good year for Mongtators.
He sure did end up looking a lot like Keith Richards, didn't he? Sorry, troll, if that comment was racist/homophobic/grammatically incorrect/misspelled/posted under one of the twenty or so names that you have attributed to me, etc. :-)
racist/homophobic/grammatically incorrect/misspelled...but still failed trolling!
Sorry, troll, did you say something? I didn't think so.
I'm sorry, did you just find command V? Failed conservatrolling...
I've got to give it to you, troll. You made me laugh. Only a complete asshole like you would criticize somebody using command V while using command V to troll him. I guess this is where you use your clever mirror persona; the equivalent of "I'm rubber, you're glue...". You're the most pathetic thing on this site.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
This is the second Second Chance sighting I've had this week! (no pun intended) I used to love that show! Of course, I was 10 so no accounting for taste.
Such a deep asnewr! GD&RVVF
