"Mediocre"

By Lady_Lancaster, Jan 16, 2011 Report Abuse

Richie, Ralp,Potsie and their friend, known as "Bag" form a band for the purpose of making some much - needed cash. They are delighted when they manage to get themselves a gig and hope that there are more tofollow.

It's most unfortunate then when Richie and Potsie, once again trying to be "grown up" go to a poker game and end up losing not only their money but also that which belonged to Ralph and Bag as well! They are both absolutely mortified and ashamed that they could be so stupid and simply don't know what to do.

How will they get back Ralph and Bag their money back?

I found this one very dull but if you want to see how it all turns out, you'll have to watch it.moreless
