That's probably it, unless it was "cast members with bit roles in groundbreaking '70s comedy films."

One of my most vivid memories of childhood TV was the time when the kid selected for TV PIX wasn't home and his mom had to play for him.

He did tear it up on "Malaguena" at the end and got to play Mozart on the violin in the same episode.

In his short book about Randall, Klugman said that their ratings were always lousy during the standard TV season, and they'd be in danger of cancellation until the network switched to reruns. At that point, audiences having already seen the episodes of their first-choice show, "Odd Couple" ratings would rise during…

Benson did have Missy Gold in the cast and while it spun off from "Soap," the humor was that of a standard sitcom, rather than a satire. While "Soap" was over my head as a kid, Benson's wiseguy remarks at the expense of Kraus and Clayton were in line with other sitcoms of the era that kids watched.

It was such a sad, strange story that's hard to separate from the lost character that he played.

While Erika had the abortion, it was her twin Heather whom the show depicted as having a more difficult time coming to grips with it, including having nightmares around the time when the baby would have been born.

No, from the moment I saw the headline, I was also hoping for her thoughts on "Down the Shore."

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply that such a condition doesn't or couldn't exist. I just always wondered why they didn't explain it as an elderly woman who said what she felt and didn't care what people thought.

Coco was Vera's late-series husband on "Alice" and Polly (Flo) Holliday played one of the Girls' sisters who wouldn't come to grips with her blindness. Aside from Coco, the other jarring note in the pilot was the bizarre exposition of the fact Sophia had physically lost her self-censoring mechanism due to her stroke.

That's odd. Harold Gould seemingly took off on Ida Morgenstern, too.

I always think of him first from "My Cousin Vinny" in the tiny role of the car expert witness who gets skunked by Marisa Tomei's auto expertise. He played just the right level of arrogance followed by just the right level of humility and without any jokes was very funny.

My favorite is Dunst shouting "You've been talking into that recorder for 18 and a half minutes!" when Michelle Williams was professing her love for the president into the machine and singing "I Honestly Love You."

Anne de Salvo was also great in her small role as a writer (probably based on Selma Diamond, who plays the wardrobe lady). I always thought she made the most of her small parts or guest appearances, but never got the right vehicle to make her a star.

I always remembered "Quark" fondly from my 7-year-old Star Wars afterglow. Obviously, i missed most of Buck Henry's humor in a character named "Princess Libido" and the farewell to a Planet named "Polumbus." But it was in space! And they were garbage men!

I have to note the guest appearance of one of my favorite character actors, Richard Portnow, as the investor looking to capitalize on Tom's trend awareness.

“I am telling you, nothing beats that missionary position!”

Week-long co-hosts! Personalized director's chairs! Theme episodes (Mason with a "kid show" star and a guy who wrote that song about kids!) A national celebrity talk show shot in Philadelphia!

It can't be a coincidence that the song is essentially "Cat's in the Cradle" run through the 70s Sitcom Theme-o-Matic. The lyrics are something like "Treasure every day, while he's still a child, 'cause before you know it, the child becomes a man…"

The police are…way across town…..ah…..and….ah….they'd be on my side….
