Bubba was Fred's best and most loyal friend - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Bubba was also there with Fred in the very last episode, when they both got their GEDs and if memory serves, Fred introduced him as his best friend. Very poignant episode. I think Bubba was the best.

Through out the series I think Grady and Bubba were both referred to as Fred's best friend at one time or another. I suppose Fred could have two very close friends, and depending on how often they'd see each other could determine who was his best friend at the time. All in all though, I'd give a slight edge to Grady since he seemed to hang out with Fred more. It was inferred that Grady would come over nearly every night and watch tv with Fred.

Yes I always thought Grady was also.

Also I think Bubba and Grady only appeared together twice if I'm not mistaken.

I think they appeared together more than twice. The Masquerade Party, Steinberg and Sons, A House is Not a Poolroom, The Surprise Party, Legal Eagle, and Wine, Women & Aunt Esther to name a few. Could be others . . .

The fast fanny episode is one too in which they all appeared which was one of my favorites!

Thank!

The only 2 I can remember right off are the ones about the mascherade party and the one where Fred returns from St. Louis.

I liked Bubba better than Grady because of his one liner's. And the fact that he got funnier reactions out of Fred. I think Fred considered Grady and Bubba to be his best friends. But him and Grady did have more heated moments like the incident where Fred took Grady's set and when Grady was gonna marry Dolly.

I dunno why for SOME reason I got the impression that Bubba was quite a bit younger than Fred and Grady. In fact to me Grady ACTED older than Fred.

I know Fred was 65ish, to me Grady seemed 75ish, and Bubba seemed more in his 50s maybe.

Melvin was also Fred's friend then he disappeared.

True. But he didn't stick around on the series long enough to be rated. Plus the Melvin character just lacked personality.
