Yet another '80s icon is getting a second chance. Bob Einstein will be reviving his character Super Dave Osborne and will be getting a series of four half-hour shows on SpikeTV during the summer.

I used to watch Super Dave back when he was a fixture on the Showtime television show Bizarre starring John Byner (Bob Einstein was a producer) and continued watching when he spun-off into his own program called Super Dave. Einstein is a master of dry humor, which he used to the fullest in his recurring appearances on Arrested Development.

Still, he's kind of old to get back into stunts (both as an actor and a character). To get an idea of how old Bob Einstein is, he was a writer on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour back in the 60's.

However, the concept of an aging stuntman is comedy gold that this new program will hopefully mine. I wonder if his stunt coordinator from way back when, Fuji Hakayito, will make an appearance.
