Noticed that a few weeks ago, so thanks for honoring him properly.  He'll be up in heaven having cocktails with "The Big Guy" (Arthur Carlson/Gordon Jump) and Herb Tarlek (Frank Bonner).

The rest of the cast are still around, including Jennifer (Loni Anderson), Andy Travis (Gary Sandy), Les Nessman (Richard Sanders), Venus Flytrap (Tim Reid), and Bailey Quarters (Jan Smithers).  And no, I didn't need a google search to know their characters names or the actor/actress. :ashamed:

Haven't watched that episode in a while, but distinctly recall it.  Found a DVD set of the entire series about 5 years ago including ALL the original music.  The episodes that used to air in syndication and I guess a few of the original boxed sets had overdubbed music because or royalties.  The last time I watched an episode was on Thanksgiving as I had to pull out "Turkey's Away".
