I liked whenever he played a fellow raccoon member but my all time favorite was when he played the therapist in A Little Man Who Wasn't There.

Well, Freddie Muller was obviously his most famous character on the show, and the character I associate him with the most, but he did play some other memorable characters. One that stands out in my mind is when he played the man at the desk in "Catch A Star." His response when Ralph asked him whether he thought Jackie Gleason or Art Carney was the best on The Jackie Gleason Show was probably one of his greatest lines ever..."I can't say, I watch Perry Como."

This Petrie character is also my favorite. In the 60s, he played the same role, only the line was amended to say "I watch Flipper," Gleason's NBC competition at the time.
