That's great that Bob Schiller is still around. He came on in season 5 and stayed through the last episode of the ninth year (in the one-hour format).

He's a super nice guy. I had the honor and great privilege (thanks to a friend of mine) of spending an afternoon at his beautiful home discussing his long and very successful career. We were in a room near the front entrance (sort of a library) where he had bound volumes of many of the scripts he had written over the years, including All in the Family and Maude. He was SO gracious. He let us hang around with him for hours, then so kindly took us to lunch at his club where many celebrities are members. That was about 10 years ago and it's a day I will never forget. I love this man! I subsequently sent him a copy of an interview he and his late partner, Bob Weiskopf, did with Joan Rivers (which he had not seen). It was the VERY LEAST I could do. He wrote me the kindest letter afterwards. He is the epitome of class.
