Fred Sanford....I believe he gets his high school diploma (and valedictorian honors?) in the show's final episode.

Archie Bunker went back to high school once to get his diploma.

I liked that scene where him and Mike are studying at the table and Edith is helping Archie with something. They're both stumped on a question, and Edith says "I'll bet Mike knows". She looks over at him and says "Mike, do you know"? And he looks at Archie and says "Yea" and goes back to his studying.

There was a sitcom in the 70s or 80s that revolved around a man in midlife crisis (mid 40s) who decides to go to medical school. I can not remember the name of it; I thought Bob Newhart starred in it, but it is not in his videography. I can remember images of him and his wife in their apartment. Any one remember the name of the show.

that was the short-live sitcom "The Bob Crane show" from 1975. It was on NBC and only lasted for 13 episodes.
