Danny Bonaduce

[Deleted]

Damn, I was hoping this slimeball was finally dead.

I saw him in person in 1997. I won two tickets to a "Second Chance Prom" that a local radio station was hosting. Danny Bonaduce was part of the morning radio crew, so he was our Class President. He didn't look good, nor did he look bad -- he just looked like himself.

BTW, that Second Chance Prom, the one that was supposed to make me forget my crappy senior prom in 1988, was so bad that it made my senior prom seem to be a shining moment of gold. The SC prom didn't have enough seating, enough food, and they played crappy music.

Not dead yet and no major drama. Bummer. Okay I don't which him dead, but some non Britters drama would be nice.

Is anyone else watching the second season of his Breaking Bonaduce show? I haven't caught it all yet, but last I checked he and his wife Gretchen are back together. I love her personal style and thought she was a lot cooler than she is because of it. Danny's become 'born again' in order to bump uglies with Gretchen again.

I know she is probably the only reason he is alive, but she is one passive aggressive b*tch who just f*cks with his head. Either she needs to totally forgive him or cut him lose. It's like she's a cat toying with a mouse. He's repulsive too. He acts as if he deserves sex because they are married and she should put out every time he asks. On the other hand, I think she doles it out like it's the rarest shit available. Both of them are pretty gross.

He was on Craig Ferguson last night (Thursday) and was actually pretty funny. I usually find him odious, but these items amused me:

- He has a tatoo on his ass that says "The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson," apparently done on a dare.

- He went on The View back during Starzilla's days, along with his wife. Roughly two minutes before they go on, a producer tells the couple that the View ladies hate them and their show. At some point, Starzilla asks him if he doesn't feel that he's exposing too much personal stuff. He says, "Lady, what are you talking about? You practically sold tickets to your wedding to that guy you married."

- The View ladies realized they were no match for his rage and turned to other subjects.

I just found that funny. He had a comeback to Baba Wawa, too, but I don't remember what it was now.

I saw some article with him in one of the rags at the gym the other day that had me confused. It said something about him having "A highly publicized affair" and how he got a wedding band tattoo to atone to his wife but was now having it removed. I'm drawing a blank on this affair - does anyone else remember it?

Man SwanFlake, I thought you were kidding about starting a Danny Bonaduce thread and then I get up this morning and here it is.

I have to say that man looks a hell of a lot better than he did on the Patridge Family. Too bad he has such a craptastic personality.

I've always considered him the Least-Fuckable Ex-Partridge.

Including Reuben Kinkaid?

Hell yes. Even including the old guy who played Shirley's dad.

I know the "Shirley's mom & pop" episodes were pretty bad, but careful now - be nice to Ray Bolger (the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz)!!

Courtesy of imdb.com:

Daughter is named Countess Isabella Michaela Bonaduce. Son is named Count Dante Jean-Michel Valentino Bonaduce.

That's reason enough to think he's a douche.

He and Gretchen were on A Baby Story years ago when Dante was born. They came off very likeable and he really seemed to be head over heels in love with his wife and their daughter. This was way before Breaking Bonaduce but at the time the episode seemed very sweet. I think Dante was born on Valentines day and that's why they threw the Valentino into his name.

Are the names tacky? Sure. Over the top? Heck yeah, but I've seen and heard far worse. At least they don't call their kids Count and Countess. Sadly, I've met people that go by those names.

He was on my morning radio show a few years back. I was surprised at how funny he was. Also he's intelligent and well read. I guess he came to work wasted one too many times and got fired. It's a shame because the show isn't the same with out him.

That said, he's a very repulsive looking guy. He's so overly muscled and orange. Like a gnarlier, shorter Carrot Top. Poor Gretchen, I don't know how she does it, when she does do it.
