i was just thinking about this and there was really a big lack of african-americans on the show or for that matter a lot of ethnical diversity, anyone else notice it?

There wasn't very many. The eighties were still kinda iffy about that.

there was the asian repairguy when the jukebox broke...a 2 parter i think, w/ the karaoke machine. someone asked what a karaoke machine was, and cliff answered something like 'the karaoke machine was invented somewhere with oriental origin, much like yourself!"

there was the black IRS guy that audited Carla, the black guy that walked in as "Diane's Nightmare" began...thats it??

When Cliff annoyed that guy at the bar and he said he was going to beat him up.... he brought the african-american mailman to save his butt.

I agree that it wasn't very diverse, but at the same time it shouldn't have been forced either.

Yes it wasn't racially diverse. Ethnicly diverse? maybe.

Sam-Irish (at one time was a minority who were discriminated against etc.)
Carla-Italian
Coach-Italian
Diane-English
Woody- ok you don't get more American than Woody
Cliff- er....Russian?
Norm- American
Henri- French

...there's at least 2 parades in their somewhere
