I remember really liking Benson as a teen so when the DVD came out, I Blockbustered it . . . I remember laughing at an episode with an seemingly off kilter older woman calling Benson, “son of Ben”; anyone else remember that? It was MAD funny.

Yeah--that episode is called "Once In A Blue Moon".

Once In a Blue Moon was from season 3 and the same actress who played the crazy lady also played in season one's "The Layoff" she was the sweet elderly staff member that Benson was forced to let go.

I think that same lady was in a second season Barney Miller as well - she played an elderly mugging suspect.
