Yes, this was actually a show on NBC.

That looks badass. I would ride on the Supertrain.

Hit the gym, a few drinks in the bar, pick up some ladies in the disco, arrive at your destination. What's not to like about that cross-country trip?

I remember Supertrain. NBC promoted the hell out of that show. Over 30 years later, I still have that damned "bumper" they used to play right before commercials stuck in my head.

So that's what the high speed trains are supposed to be. Thirty years later and they still haven't built that shite

A train version of the Love Boat?

The conductor looked maybe like he was Long Duc Dong's "dad"/Molly Ringwald's grandfather in Sixteen Candles, but not sure.

Good eye. That's him, Edward Andrews. Patrick Collins and Harrison Page have worked steadily, mostly in TV. Robert Alda is Alan Alda's father and died in the eighties. Nita Talbot seems to be retired. Michael DeLano was in Ocean's 11 and Ocean's 12. Charlie Brill does voiceover work. The only two who seem to have disappeared are William Nuckols and Aarika Wells

I was curious and bored

I remember watching that show too. My grandmother was a Love Boat fan (I think she dreamed of Captain Stubing getting inside her granny panties). So one night as a kid I proposed she watch this with me because bullet trains were more awesome than Princess Cruises.

It had potential (not as much potential as Cop Rock), but failed to reach it.

That was money.
