Everyone in chico and the man was a fine actor/actress. Almost all of the people who appeared as guests were famous stars too. I
guess that's another reason that show was so popular in the 70's (not to mention the main hunk Freddie Prinze). Even yet today when I menion CATM people say "oh yea, that was a good show!" I'd like to get a hold of Della
Reese and ask her a few questions. I understand she was stranded at the Toledo airport in a snow storm when FP shot himself and didn't get to the funeral.

I think Jack Albertson was awesome and Freddie was lucky to have gotten the chance to star in a sitcom with him. (And visa-versa!)

Jack was also in Elvis movie KISSIN COUSINS... http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif
