Definitely, Harry!! That entire episode is hilarious to me! In fact, I've often thought of posting an official question about "Who do you think is/was the best guest star on a TV show portraying himself/herself?" And my answer would be Sammy Davis Jr on "All in the Family." I usually don't like "guest star episodes" of TV shows but this Sammy episode of "All in the Family" is great to me. :) Thanks for answering, Harry (and Happy Engagement!) ;)
I've heard great things about it :) I have watched other shows that are older than I am :) my favourite old shows are bewitched and three's company ... I know I've seen the Jefersons, which I believe is a spin of of all in family. Maybe I'll binge watch "all in family" next time I feel like hibernating for a weekend :)
Yes, now I remember, Shar to the Rona! :) Right when I read your comment about "I Love Lucy" I remembered that we had talked about the show before and I remembered that you hated it! :) I can see how Lucy Ricardo could be irritating.
I've not seen enough of The Honeymooners to be a huge fan but I've watched quite a few episodes and I always find it funny!
For me, right up there with "All in the Family" and "I Love Lucy," I like "Reno 911!" -- a much more recent show, for sure! Ha! "Reno 911!" I still, like these other shows, I laugh out loud.
And lately, only recently, have I caught on to and liked "The Middle" and "Modern Family."
Reno 911? HILARIOUS. My daughter initially watched it because Tom Lemmon (?) I can't remember his name off-hand but you know who I mean, I'm sure, went to school with my daughter. He is a graduate of Oak Park High School.
That show was really good. (to me, anyway. I am sure you know by now that anything I say is just my opinion) Obviously Lucy was beloved by everyone. She is a comedic talent and deserves the fame, but that charcter and the premise of her being an airhead got on my nerves after five minutes of stupid.
I hate the 3 Stooges too. Not funny. Stupid to me. I guess I had to have been there at the outset when it was first aired in the theatres. It was a simpler time then when hitting someone on the head was just a laugh riot. GOD save us.

How FUN!! Yes, Lemmon was "Lt. Dangle"! You'll have to tell your daughter that I love that show! :)
This is a great way for me to sign out off the site for bit - - I'll probably be back later tonight. Thanks for sharing that cool detail about "Reno 911!" and your daughter and Lemmon going to school together! :)
I'm laughing! I like this moment, too! Such a funny show! I've always liked the casting of the show, though, too -- though I did see the original-original TV show pilot episode for the series and different actors portrayed 'Gloria' and 'Mike.' I think those original actors could have been good on the show, too. I don't know why they were switched to Sally Struthers and Rob Reiner -- and I like both Struthers and Reiner, too. :) Thanks, ALF!
UPDATE: I just looked in youtube for the original pilot with the different actors I talked about here and I was going to post the video but then I found ANOTHER unaired pilot with two OTHER actors playing Mike and Gloria! Who knows how many Gloria and Mike's are out there? :)
