According to wikipedia it won 18 emmy awards during it's run, 3 of which were for outstanding comedy. It was a staple on Nick at night for a decade if not more, and was seen in other forms of syndication for just as long. Things start to fade I guess. A more "to the heart" example,MASH used to air locally here about 4 or 5 times a day (sometime in the last 15 years), and now i am pretty sure it is not aired at all locally, and I don't know when or where it is aired on cable.lucifervandrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11222482184840116176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-72420395764363834072010-11-15T14:20:47.325-08:002010-11-15T14:20:47.325-08:00And I'm sure Barry was thrilled to meet you al...And I'm sure Barry was thrilled to meet you also. He gets so bored by the Queen and that boring Royal Family all the time, hanging on him, asking him for favors. <br /><br />(These days, BBC America has Barry judging on "I'd Do Anything," which it ballyhoos with "This week an ALL-NEW episode of "I'd Do Anything". By "All-New" they mean shot just over a year before you met Barry, which was itself a year and a half ago.)<br /><br />Katey looks to be holding up better than Jerry or Randy. (Around Katey, all men are "Randy".) <br /><br />An old acting mentor and teacher of mine (now passed away) knew Katey also, and just loved the hell out of her.<br /><br />Do they do Randy's "Let's Drop the Big One and See What Happens"? That was always my favorite song of his.Tallulah Moreheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416330735326405496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-38426438216700134892010-11-15T11:14:24.157-08:002010-11-15T11:14:24.157-08:00Didn't she get her "start" in show b...Didn't she get her "start" in show biz as a waitress at one of those joints where they'd stand by your table and sing at you?<br /><br />I think there was eventually an album; perhaps as "The Group with No Name" (and this would have been lone before America's horse).tehttp://toddeverett.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-50513452301546639682010-11-14T19:30:42.058-08:002010-11-14T19:30:42.058-08:00That would be behind AND in front of the scenes.

Were you and your writing partner ever approached to work on "Taxi"? I always thought it was one of the greatest shows in Television history, and certainly one of the most under-appreciated. Given that you worked on "Cheers" while "Taxi" was still on the air, I'm surprised you and David Isaacs never had a chance to write for it.Simon H.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-71819469618813381732010-11-14T18:46:45.897-08:002010-11-14T18:46:45.897-08:00That's a perfect shot guys.That's a perfect shot guys.ttvhttp://www.thetvstream.info/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-46363194688704651372010-11-14T18:04:03.961-08:002010-11-14T18:04:03.961-08:00All those years backing up Tina Turner, who woulda...All those years backing up Tina Turner, who woulda thunk Katy Sagal could sing?Sally creeping down the alleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-67909030462245451822010-11-14T17:54:07.854-08:002010-11-14T17:54:07.854-08:00Katey looks great.
Hard to believe the first time...Katey looks great.<br /><br />Hard to believe the first time I heard of Katey was an episode of Columbo way back in the 1970s. She played the assistant to a senator who murders a member of his staff to get a sympathy vote.Max Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706524941272103444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-88631330779347853732010-11-14T17:51:00.533-08:002010-11-14T17:51:00.533-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Max Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706524941272103444noreply@blogger.com
