Where Have I Seen Duffy Moon Before?
He's that kid down that street that puffs his cheeks out, talks like Mr. Roboto and tries to use telekinesis to affect his surroundings. Like turning on sprinklers and healing that damn crow that keeps following him around.
Or from the ABC Afterschool TV special, "The Amazing Cosmic Awareness of Duffy Moon."
What We Learned from The Cosmic Awareness of Duffy Moon
How to "Think Big." Which includes puffing your cheeks out and talking like a robot from a bad, 1960's sci-fi movie.
The phrase "You can do it, Duffy Moon" is the 1970s equivalent of "Cowboy Up." It is seared in the collective, American unconscious. Sear is used in a positive sense here.
We learned what came of Thurston Howell III in his post Gilligan's Island life: He began writing self-help books under the pen name of Dr. Flamel. Apparently, all the years of enforced exile with Mrs. Howell developed a rift that the humble couple couldn't reconcile. By the look of his apartment when Duffy Moon visits, she appears to have taken him to the cleaners. He, in turn, struck back at her by growing a "wicked cool" beard.
The movie single-handedly helped transform ravens from scavenging carrion birds to loveable sidekicks. Probably inspiring the Brandon Lee movie in the process.
It was later revealed that Duffy had a twin sister and that both truly had paranormal powers, along with a chateau on Witch Mountain. So, Duffy got the last laugh. Beyond the scene where the crow turns on the sprinkler.

And yes, I'm a little biased, seeing as I was pretty good pals with JESUS.
I mean, I realize, that guy with the rainbow clown afro at all the ball games set it back a bit, but if you haven’t already locked in a religion yet, you know, its worth checking out.
