This show used to be in reruns years ago.

Tony played a widowed (?) judge with two kids. It was a mixture of a workplace comedy and a family comedy.

Randall's character was less uptight than Felix Unger, but there were similarities.

First ran on ABC, 1976-1977, then on CBS 1977-1978.
ABC wanted to renew the series but only for 13 episodes, while CBS offered a full season, so they went with CBS. Alas, it wasn't enough to keep Tony on longer. It's been so long since I've seen an episode, but I do remember liking it.

You been in downtown Philly and had the pleasure of eating a steak???-lol

No......it was just the thought. :lol:

I do wish I had seen more of this show when it was in reruns.

I do remember seeing this show, but it was never the rerun staple that was The Odd Couple.

As i said in my previous post, I do remember Tony's character was not nearly as uptight/quirky as Felix Unger. I would love to see this show again to see the difference between the two characters.

This show is one reason we need a channel devoted to obscure/rare/short-lived series!

LOLmy neighborhood too, Solomon! (well, not my neighborhood per say, but I grew up nearby. In Levittown.

In fact; I remember watching the show with my father, brother, and sisters and we used to like to name all the location shots they showed in the opening.

I also remember seeing an article in the newspaper at the time, when they filmed all those "location" shots.

Love Sidney...one of my favorite shows. It was hinted he was gay but it was never actually stated. It was more stated in season 2 however.

Thank you, Sonny. Wasn't Swoosie Kurtz on that show, too?

Yes, in my idea of a perfect world ther will be an "in demand" channel where you can pick any show you want to see, past or present, popular or obcure, long run or short run, and you can watch that show.

A big giant library of TV shows at your disposal...

Ah...what a dream.

;)

Thank you, Sonny. Wasn't Swoosie Kurtz on that show, too?
Yes she was. That was the first time I had ever seen her on tv too.

:) What was the episode where an attorney asked an oriental person "where were you on December 7th, 1941?

Thanks, Tom
