But I can't recall any of the character's names.

I remember there was:
Spoiler:
a smart, "uncool" fat kid, who liked Chocolate Payday bars, and there was this other "cool" guy who followed the trail of PayDay wrappers across the country, and admired how brilliant the "uncool" kid was.


That guy who followed the kid was my favorite character. Mostly because of his attitude of admiration for the kid's intelligence.
Harold Lauder and Larry "Baby Can You Dig Your Man" Underwood.

I always had a soft spot for Stu Redman, 'specially after Gary Sinise played the character in the mini-series. I have that on VHS, not that it does me any good without a working VCR in the house!

ETA: It doesn't take much to one-click - the DVD will be coming to the house soon!
