Old TV Shows

It was around 1989 or '90, I was walking into a Rite Aid drugstore in North High Point. There was a guy walking out and he held the door open for me. I didn't look directly at him but I thanked him. When I walked back to the pharmacy, the guy behind the counter asked me: "Hey, do you know who that was that just left when you came in?" I said, "No, I wasn't paying attention." He told me that it was the guy that played Grady on Sanford & Son. Supposedly, he lived around here somewhere back then. He was my favorite character on that show. Aunt Ester was a close second favorite.

The exact same thing happened to a friend of mine when we lived in Jupiter, Florida for far too many years. He was coming out of the local WalMart, which was before the "Super Stores," and a man held the door open for him. He recognized him, and said, "You're Perry Como!" The man smiled, and admitted he was. We knew he moved to Tequesta, the next small town to the north. Jupiter Island, a "snooty" town just north of Jupiter would not ALLOW him to move there because he wasn't "old money." Just a bunch of snobs...

I never watched Seinfeld when it was in its heyday, but we definitely caught up when it went into syndication. "A show about nothing." It was brilliant!
 
I've got something pretty cool to post on here when my wife finds it in our storage room. Back in the late '80's or early '90's, Dick York who played the first Darren on Bewitched, was running a homeless charity out of his meager home while he was suffering from emphysema and severe back problems. My wife mailed him a check for the charity and he endorsed it himself and wrote my wife a very nice note. This was shortly before he died. I'll post a picture of the back of that check that contains his note when my wife digs it out of storage.
