TONIGHT ON ARLI$$: Rocky Framaggio, "the Big Cheese," slugs
his way into our hearts. As a kid, Arliss idolized the Hall of
Fame outfielder, so much so that he still carries the Rock's
rookie card. And now, after a chance meeting at the racetrack,
Arliss decides to help the down-trodden Rock "make some scratch,"
and get back on his feet. But after the Rock strikes out at
three job attempts, Arliss comes up with a marketing stroke of
genius. Ken Howard stars as Rocky Framaggio. Also guest
appearances by Dick Stockton and the voice of Phil Rizzuto (THE
DAILY).
