I watched a rerun of "Dharma & Greg" yesterday. Ed, Jr. was in it.
Larry Finklestein (Dharma's dad) had run out of things to protest, so he was making stuff up just so he wouldn't have to end his time with Ed. While driving Ed around endlessly to locate a nonexistent chemical plant protest, Dharma's mother (Abby) leans over to her husband and says, "At some point this becomes kidnapping".
Larry tries to convince Ed that a charity carwash is the protest they've been looking for, but Ed doesn't buy it. Larry apologises and Ed accepts. Then Ed suggests they go back and make sure the kids at the carwash are using biodegradable soap.
Ed Bagley, Jr. is not above making fun of himself. He's a liberal I can tolerate.
