I still scream laughing at the scene on The Jeffersons where George's friend (played by Lou Gossett, Jr.) is making repeated passes at Louise. Despite her attempts at rebuffing him, he doesn't get the message. Finally, Mother Jefferson comes into the room and goes after him wielding an umbrella!!! George comes in during all this and asks what is going on. Mother Jefferson: Do you know what your "best friend" was doing? He was getting fresh! George: He what? (To Gossett's character) Hey man, you are sick! Making a pass at my mama! The studio audience just went crazy, and so did I. Priceless!!

Here's Jack Riley's appearance on the 1980s Newhart. It's at the 13:50 mark. By the way, he's credited as "Patient", though it is clear he is meant to be Mr. Carlin. 😂

He and Kevin Seitzer actually tied for the most hits in the AL (207) in 1987.

You can add Sonny Shroyer (Deputy Enos Strate, The Dukes of Hazzard) to that list. Ironically, he and Sorrell Booke both wound up as Enos and Boss Hogg in a later episode of Alice. Supposedly, Boss and Jolene were distant relatives.

Wow - not many people can say that. How awesome!!

I just wish they would scrap the Cosby reruns and air more Unsung reruns instead. More specifically, reruns from the early seasons - especially the two hour disco special. I wonder why they don't air nearly as many reruns as they used to - music licensing issues, maybe?

"D.A.W." will be on WE on Friday, 6/21 @ 11 AM EST. The suspect, a doctor, was played by Kevin Tighe of Emergency! fame.

I didn't discover the show until it had been on the air for a few years; I caught up through reruns. It was timely that I found the show when I did. I went through a deeply traumatizing event (not cat-related) and could barely leave my room. So, something about this guy who looked like a bounty hunter/Hell's Angel visiting hurting felines with a guitar case filled with goodies really spoke to me. Thank you, Jackson, for all that you do for felines AND humans.

I just watched the episode again. The magazine was actually called "The Wide, Wonderful World of the Wingback". 😂

Agreed. How much of that money can they actually spend in one lifetime???

Wheel of Morality was a good bit, too.

Talk about an embarrassment of riches!! So, the Parrot heads to Gotham.

Mr. Carlin is the patient you're talking about, played by the late (great) Jack Riley. Who else loved Bob's wood-paneled office with the "a" and "z" bookends? I think that was the coziest office ever seen on TV. FETV is airing two of the finest episodes TBNS ever did tonight - "Who is Mr. X?" at 10 PM EST, and "Over the River and Through the Woods" at 11 PM EST. "More goo to go!"

"Well, you're acting like a baby-year-old." 😂

Another favorite of mine is "Mr. Monk Gets a New Shrink". I completely lose it every time I see Monk go through the Five Stages of Grief in about 30 seconds (and then he starts it all over again!!!).

Disher: Should I be writing this down? Captain: Nope.

Olivia d'Abo did incredible work, but they definitely went to the Nicole Wallace well a few too many times. YMMV, of course.

You are very welcome!! Eddie was a very important part of the Tribe from 1994-96 - and he did get HR #500 as an O.

My choice for funniest CI scene (and they did humor much, much better than either SVU or the Mothership) is a tie between Goren, Griffin Dunne and the shoe, and when Goren and Eames go to a fancy restaurant to arrest a suspect. Goren just sits down next to him at the table and starts eating the guy's steak. Hilarious!!! 😂

In the Retro TV's reruns of NBC's long-defunct soap opera, The Doctors, Jonathan Frakes was just killed off as Tom Carroll. He was on the show from June 1977 to March 1978. His girlfriend at the time was his onscreen wife, Lauren White (now a jazz singer and a producer on her husband Alex Gansa's show, Homeland). Here are some screen caps of the future Commander William T. Riker in his first major TV role:

The garbage strike episode is in my top five of favorite Monk episodes, and that's the best part of it. I love how Alice was reading a magazine called "The Wonderful World of the Wingback". HA!! Monk has always been characterized as having severe OCD. However, I think that Monk really was a high functioning autistic.

I agree!! A couple of months ago, I went to a doubleheader in Cleveland between the Indians and Braves. I sat down the left field line, which is foul ball central. One landed a couple of rows away from me - and a kid was trying to get it when some guy, probably in his thirties, dove right in front of him and claimed the ball for himself. I felt bad for the poor little boy, and several people in our section booed and gave the guy the stink eye. In a situation like that, give the ball to the kid already.

Here is his 3000th hit on June 30, 1995 - with longtime Indians broadcaster Tom Hamilton on the call:

That's right, just as Ken "Eddie Haskell" Osmond became a cop in real life!! I think he had retired from police work by the time the revival series came on in the mid-80s. His two real life sons played Eddie's sons on the show.

I've had this jingle stuck in my head for over 25 years!!!
