Sure that number doesn't work anymore, but for a while they had some contest where you could call up Maurice. Fancy that.
*POSSIBLE SPOILERS* "Little Monsters" is kinda like Beetleguese for little kids. These weird monsters lived under the bed and kids would go and visit them in their alternate world. However, kids didn't know they they were lured there to become monsters! I didn't know Howie Mandel was Maurice until I had the desire to look this movie up. He did a pretty good job as the wily monster. Fred Savage was good too, he was always one of the better childhood actors. His brother Ben is also in the movie way before his "Boy Meets World" days. I hated Boy. He was that huge, fat, disgusting blob that would pop kids' heads off. That was relatively disturbing. And obnoxiously gross.
The remainder of the movie is fun; there's a mirror breaking baseball game, Maurice and Brian sneaking into other kids houses from underneath their bed and pranking them, Maurice pees in the bully's applejuice and so on. To get back at Maurice for being mean, Brian would shut the lights off. That would turn him into nothing but a pile of clothes. Then Brian's brother gets kidnapped so he unites with his friends to go under the bed to save him. Classy.
A good 80's movie at the time that kids could relate to. Could be worth revisiting.
