    I used to like Chevy Chase, and thought that he was different than all of the other fake and elitist actors. But not so anymore. I find him to be boorish, and don't care to hear his opinions on politics, his foul mouth comments about our president, and anti American sentiments. He is filled with hatred for anyone who doesn't believe in his brand of politics.
    He was born wealthy, got richer as he got older, and thinks he knows what is best for the rest of the country, which is crap.
    No more Chevy Chase for me, I am sworn off his stuff, so as not to add another thin dime to his pocket.

    Love all his Vacation movies how about a fifth one where he and the beautiful Beverly D'Angelo take Rusty and Audreys kids, their grandkids on a heck of a Vacation. Of course Randy Quaid and his Catherine have to be on it too!You have the 8 different actors from all of them that could be the kids again. I will definitely go to see it and will buy the DVD. WE NEED THE GRISWOLDS!!

    Is anyone interested in buying a Chevy Chase Clock?

    I got this about 20 years ago. It still works! It's a standard analog wall clock, with a picture of Chevy Chase and a logo from his TV series, The Chevy Chase Show.

    There were not many made or distributed. I have hung on to it a long time, but I need cash so I am selling it.

    Anyone interested?

    Email me at dianej-stjames@usa.net.

    I've been a big fan since 1975 when I was 10 and first saw Chevy on SNL. As an adult, I see a lot of myself in Clark Griswold in my attitudes and sense of humor (laugh to keep from crying). I just finished reading his new biography (Chevy's, not Clark's). Wow. I recommend it for anyone who's even a bit of a fan. Knowing now what he went through growing up (and the ghosts that continue to haunt him today), as well as why he did some of those movies even though he knew they were bad from the beginning, I want to go back and watch every one of them again. This time with a new perspective on Chevy. The man is nothing like the typical shallow Hollywood celebs who who don't know (and don't care) what's going on in the rest of the country. Great job Chevy. You're got my vote for a lifetime achievement award.
