I used to watch that show and really loved it. He did a great job. Anyone who would make fun of any person with a disability will stand before God one day and account for it. It won't be so funny then, will it? You should be ashamed of yourselves. Good for you, Chris - and I think you look terrific! God bless you, Honey.

And for the dork who posted the nasty message about gum disease, it goes hand in hand with Down Syndrome.

In regards to #4 poster Masha... WTF? Your post about Idol contestant doesn't make any sense when its supposed to be about Corky.
ANYWAYZ.... I was suprised to see how well Corky seems to be doing. He has aged well too, but that's a face I never expected to see again.

Corky was the only reason I watched Life Goes On! I was in complete awe of him. I loved how he was given a strong role instead of being the comic relief. I think that Chris is a walking miracle considering that most people with Down's don't make it past the age of 35...and he's 42!! All I have to say to Chris is: I love you man! I hope you continue to be an inspiration to the world. Live long my friend.

I am so glad to read that Chris is having continued success in his life. I was a big fan of his show and was disappointed when it ended. Being a mother of a 2-year-old Down syndrome child, I can only hope he is as highly functional as Chris is, and it is impressive how well he had handled his fame over the years. Fame comes with a price, though. Its hard to believe how cruel and ignorant people can be in this day and age, although the overwhelming majority is positive. I would rather have a Down syndrome child any day than raise a child that behaves like Mr. Wasser. I wonder how proud his parents are of him... Seeing a couple of these comments, it helps prepare me for some of the ridicule my son will have to face, although I expect that is life will be overall very sweet and uncomplicated.
By the way, Down syndrome people don't develop heart problems. Many have heart or intestinal abnormalities at conception, including an extra chromosome (which is what Down syndrome is). Due to medical advancements most Down syndrome people live much longer than in their 30s. Kudos to Chris's brothers, too, for being so loving and supportive. I wish you all the best and God's continued blessings.
