We all know that he cannot beat James Avery, but this guy did better than Dolph sweet and Vic Tayback. But now since Dolph, Vic and James past away, dick Butkus is still the last grumpy man remaining alive.

I know fans don't like him as an actor, but the tv critics find him that he did well in this show. After this show ended properly, he retired from acting in a correct time as a successful person. Dick will die happily at an old long-lasting age in the future.

I like Dick Butkus just fine as an actor- he did a good job on "Hang Time", "My Two Dads" and three episodes of "MacGyver" as Earl Dent.:) :cool:
(among many others of course.) I don't know that he's a grumpy man though- however, he played a few characters like that in his acting roles.

This show's the best and tv critics think he did well.
