The actor who played the part of the politician was the guy, was the Funny Buddy, and next door neighbor in the "Bob Newhart Show", and the "Goofy Sidekick" of Larry flagman on 'I Dream of Jeanie". I went from watching Mary to watching "More of Maiy". She did a guest spot on "Rhode". Then it was on to the "Dick Van Dyke Show" where Maty got the best of ' udo to defend him embarrassed that his wife had to protect him, and his ego was hurt. He learned some counter moves, but tripped, fell down and injured himself with the net result being a trip to the hospital where Mary dumped him ana went to work for Lou Grant (Not Really).

I ended up right next to the California Angels dugout where I witnessed Jackson swinging three bats before he took his turn at the plate. The game was quickly tied and then Cleveland took a one run lead. I was told it was "Time To Leave-h- ad to beat those other cars-a- nd we left.
