In a 1974 interview, Whitman Mayo (Grady) says he did a friend a favor did a cameo an the show & that favor lasted for 6 more episodes. When Redd Foxx left the show in a dispute, Mayo wanted nothing to do with the lead....With all that said, why did he accept a spinoff? lol

Interesting article. And look around the rest of "The Telegraph" newspaper. Funny to see the old advertisements, articles, comics, and tv programming schedule. Check it out!

It's interesting to see the links to other newspapers that have the same story with different names. The Lewiston Evening Journal version even printed more of the story than this paper did.
