It is quite informative, and so are the Autopsy episode and the Dark Side of Comedy episode on Freddie.

Thanks for the tip, Stepping I haven't seen The Dark Side of Comedy.

I've seen both and enjoyed them. I especially like that Dave Foley is the narrator for the Dark Side of Comedy. He's the star of my #1 favorite sitcom, NewsRadio (Chico is my #2 fave). So, it's interesting to hear the star of one favorite show narrate the life story and tragic death of a star from another favorite of mine. Worlds collide.

Have you watched the E! True Hollywood story on Freddie's life? I have never.
What are your thoughts?

No, I don't believe I have either. I'm willing to watch it but I don't see it on YouTube, so I don't know how I'd be able to see it. I watched the Welcome Back, Kotter episode and James Komack doesn't come off looking so good on that one.

I wish they'd make a documentary on Jack Albertson. There's not even a published biography out on him. There is one for Scatman Crothers, however, and Della Reese wrote an autobiography. Her time on Chico and the Man was only like two pages long though, I believe.

You're right about Jack Albertson—he definitely deserves that. Let's not forget that he is one of only two dozen performers to have achieved the Triple Crown of Acting by winning an Oscar, an Emmy, and a Tony.
