Mc Man and Tate? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Larry Tate is always around, but where is Mc Man? Who is he? Was he ever on an episode I can't recall? Does anybody know?

Mr. McMann was Larry Tate's partner in the firm - and was only seen in 2 episodes...he was played by:

Roland Winters - "Man of the Year" (1968 - Season 4)
Leon Ames - "What Makes Darrin Run?" (1970 - Season 6)

As much as Darrin does for that firm, you'd think it would be called Stephens & Tate. Forget McMann, lol.

Jude The Obscure · 06-02-2008, 06:38 PM

By all rights, by the time of the Darrin switch, Darrin should have been made a partner.

Adam and Jude...you guys said it!!!

Honestly, this was why the later seasons are generally looked down upon--the characters had long stopped growing and there was no progress in Darrin's professional career--he was still basically Larry's errand boy/bi***. Larry himself was a parody of his character.

Larry held the promotion over Darrin's head to get his way and Darrin never got the promotion he deserved.

I'm sure glad Larry's not my boss.

If I were Darrin, I would have left McMann and Tate a long time ago!

My boss is always threatening to change my hours and stuff to get me to work harder. Now, I personally think I work hard, and everyone else there (I work at Kroger as a cleaner/bagger) think I work hard, and a lot of people compliment me. I say that so you know I'm not a slacker, I've just got a boss that is hard to please.

Anyways, once I told a co-worker that with all of the boss's threats "I feel like I'm working for Larry Tate." lol They laughed, so I assume they got the reference.

Hey hey Adam--we got something in common! I work for a supermarket as well!

(A mom and pop, not chain, though).

I use to work for Super K as a cashier, the only thing that drove me crazy was getting broken registers, uggh.

Your boss doesn't call you "buddy boy" and "son of a gun", does he??
