Yup, his episode was good. It was also great fun seeing Hal "Barney Miller" Linden playing a role so totally against type!! :cool:

It would be great to see Mr. Sierra on this show. I think he would work very well with the ladies on this show.

I also loved Tim Conway's appearance where his character and Carl Reiner's character were fighting over Elka! :lol:

Yup, the fight over Elka - that was great. How often does one see people in their 80s in a love triangle? :cool:

The best part about this show is they don't care about the ages of the characters. It's great seeing older actors on tv. And these people are legends.

Well said Sonny, this show proves that audiences were starving for the return of the classic sitcom.

I agree 100%. Is anybody surprised? LOL I also have to say I've really enjoyed Susan Lucci's appearances. She seems to really love the opportunity to poke fun at herself! I really hope they bring her back again in S3.

I think this is the only time I've seen it and it was done so well too. Of course in Carl Reiner, Tim Conway, and Betty White you have three of TV's best comedy actors of the last 50 years so it's no surprise this episode was so brilliant!

It's great that this show is giving so much respect to a generation of classic TV stars that we grew up watching and is giving them such great roles to play!!

It is. These actors have been loved by TV audiences for decades, and the younger generation seems to love them, too!! :cool: :D

Hey, he already appeared with Betty in an episode of The Golden Palace, so there's a bit of shared history there. I say they should go for it!! :D

Hard decision...It's a toss up for me between Mary Tyler Moore, Carl Reiner, Millicent Martin, Susan Lucci, and Peri Gilpin. They've gotten some great guest stars. :D Oh, and I liked Sherri Shepard as the judge in "Hot for the Lawyer" too.

Kristen

How could I forget Peri? (Well, maybe it was b/c she was only in one scene!) But Carl is great, and I love that they keep bringing him back. And Millicent Martin is very funny as Agnes Bradford. Elka likes to refer to her by another name, but I don't think I'm allowed to post that here! ;)

It's just a shame that Bea, Rue and Estelle are no longer with us. It would've been wonderful had one or more of them appeared on HIC.

Bonnie Franklin. She was hilarious on that episode.

Miss Wings Fan, how could you have forgotten Amy Yasbeck? :eek:

*hangs head in shame* I know, that's really bad. But I must confess, I wasn't all that crazy about her character. I LOVED the Victoria/Johnny Revere stuff in that ep, but didn't really care for the Melanie storyline. But it was def. awesome seeing Amy! :)

Ooh yeah, they would've been good on HiC. Esp. Rue, I think.

Yes - Rue was/is the GG first and foremost on my mind as the one I'd see standing beside Betty. :cool: :D

I also have a notion that Betty and Rue would've enjoyed every single second of it!!!

And I'm sure the other girls would've been beside themselves watching the two together (which is how they probably were when Mary was there!).

Antonio Sabato, Jr.'s guest spot was hilarious. I'd never seen him do a comedy before and was very impressed with his timing and reactions. He seemed to be really enjoying himself, too. He should seek out more sitcom work. :cool: :D

Yes, Huey Lewis and another 80s rocker (and soap star) Rick Springfield are both very adept at comedy!! :cool: :D
