Vermont Hooligans - Rural street gang who once (40 years before) initiated George Utley (Tom Poston), a droll groundskeeper who worked at the Stratford Inn in Norwich, Vermont on the sitcom NEWHART/CBS/1982-90. When George was a teenager he tried to join the "Hooligans." His initiation was simple. Find a parked car, get inside, turn up the radio full blast and then run away. Unfortunately, for George, he accidently released the brakes on the Desoto that he was semi-vandalizing and the car rolled into a nearby swamp. George, of course, never made the grade with this rural group of ruffians. On episode No. 177 "Born to Be Mild" Dick Loudon (Bob Newhart) joins   the Hooligans, and finds himself in the middle of a rumble against their rowdy rivals.
