I just recorded several episodes of "Barney Miller" and "Father Knows Best". Fish, (Abe Vigoda), was hysterical on Barney Miller. Just watched the episode of Fish not getting paid and needed to go to payroll as they had him down as being deceased and he had to prove otherwise. Today's equivalent of being in the "dead" file on social security.
The episode of Murphy Brown in a dream sequence of her and Frank having died in a plane crash and they were at the same funeral home. One being in a casket and the other cremated. Frank said he could stand the thought of being in a confined space and urged Murphy to see who was in the casket as he had a phobia of funerals. She came back and informed him, "she was sleeping alone again" cracked me up.
The show I really want to come back to television is "Taxi" What a cast. The episode of reverend Jim at the DMV is a classic.
BTW - Father Knows Best was a warm picture of a loving family where the parents were very involved with their children.
