I always saw the 79-80 opening credits and the part when Larry puts his arm around who he thinks is a girl inside the bumper cars, and it's a guy with a mustache, who is he supposed to be?

Just someone riding around. He wasn't supposed to be someone in the show or anything.

He had to be someone important to be featured in the opening credits next to a cast member who was Richard Kline. I know he wasn't on the show but i do know he wasn't a ordinary person who was at the Santa Monica Pier. For example-i found out that the little boy who stares at Mr. Furley when he is yelling at the Lion in the Zoo Opening credits was the son of one of the producers

Well, if he's not an extra, I guess they could have used anyone from the crew to do that scene, who knows.. He kind of looks like a young Howard Stern..:eek:

They don't HAVE to be important. He was in the opening for the comedic effect. He was probably an extra they used that day...

I never really wondered who that was... lol he is kinda Howard Stern-ish. LoL:lol:

He probably was an extra. Just because he was in the opening credits next to Richard Kline, that doesn't mean he was somebody important.

I have to disagree-Why would anybody be chosen to sit next to a cast member in the opening credits? He had to know one of the producers or someone on the production staff.

No it doesn't have to be a person who knew anyone on the set! It would've been mentioned most likely in the TC book if it was. Extras are often in opening credits.

the guy was on crew and the little toddler with the ducks at the zoo is a very young Jason Ritter

Thank You very much-I knew that guy sittin next to Larry had to be on crew or related to one of the crew members to be in the opening credits. Thanks again rklinester

was in the opening credits for season 4. The scene with Larry getting into the Bumper Cars and it turned out to be a Man with long hair:lol:



It was said he was a intern on the show and Richard Kline forgot his name.

BTW: I never thought it was John Ritter looks nothing like him

Thats a pretty cool and iconic performance for an intern!

I still wanna know what would make someone think he was John Ritter:lol:

Sad that his name has been lost to time.

It does look a little like him but I never thought it was. I suppose because they used Suzzane with a wig on the beach on the original opening that people may have thought so.

That scene is cut from local syndication. I didnt see it until I became an adult and watched it on N@N.

I sometimes still see it. I think it only appeared on the 4th season. I cant remember which channel but I still see it sometimes. But even in the original airings, I believe it was only for the 4th season. But I have seen the shows so many times, I can barely remember when I noticed they started chopping up the intros.

My local station in Philadelphia always cut the scene out when season 4 opening credits were airing. They also cut the scene out when Lana trips jack in the opening credits
