Default The guy who played Ann's Dad was a horrible actor and I am glad he was only seen once



All his scenes was so over the top and seemed like he was overacting. So glad that was his only appearance.

Grampa Romano shows up again in the series down the line but it's a different actor ! Second Grampa is more likable if I remember correctly ?

The second episode on today is the one with the different actor playing Grandpa Romano !

Also I think there were two Grandma Coopers too? Ed's Mother ! Yesterday in the Graduation it was a different woman from the one who plays Barbara and Julie's paternal Grandma in another episode that will be coming up , I'm pretty sure ?

That was kind of nutty, to have a different actor playing the grandpa when the previous actor was on a couple of years prior lol

One of two things probably ! Either the first actor had another acting commitment or he didn't want the role anymore . Or the subject matter ( Tickling the ivories ) , they thought the original man was too much an old Fuddy Duddy , and the second man was cooler and more attractive to make the show amusing rather than gross ( thinking of old people having sex ) !
