We are . . . THE DREGS!

A little deep background: This is an edited version of the first episode of the two-part Dregs of Humanity story from “It’s Your Move”. IYM was a sitcom starring a young Jason Bateman as an inveterate teen con artist. In this one, he concocted a fake band (made with biology class skeletons) after he screwed up the booking for the school dance; this clip contains the concert bit and the infamous interview sequence. The second part was delayed for some time as President Reagan gave a speech that pre-empted the second part. Though the show only ran during the ‘84-’85 season, its reputation grew and it enjoyed a lengthy syndicated run on USA in the late ’80s/early ’90s. The two Dregs episodes are far and away the most fondly remembered bits of the series.
