He was excellent on Coach. I don't watch a lot of sitcoms but that was show was consistently funny. I can't drive past a minigolf place without hearing Luther's "You're a Winner at Mr Putts!" songHe's probably most known to people today as "Luther" in the 1990s American TV series Coach with Craig T. Nelson. More recently (a few years ago) he had a few guest appearances in the TV show The Middle as Frankie's father.
Jerry actually played Rob Petrie's (Dick Van Dyke's) TV brother in several episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show. He passed away last year.
In my rush, I forgot to type American in my post as I wanted to explain why he’s famous in the US but likely unknown elsewhere. Apologies.your place, not mine - america is not the centre of the world
I have some questions. If the show is supposed to take place in 1965-66 when it was filmed, and the main character is the sameish age as the actor, how does the chronology work? If Crabtree is 35ish in 1965, how can his mother be reincarnated as a car built in 1928, which is before he was even born? I mean I am perfectly willing to accept people reincarnating as cars, but you cannot reincarnate as someone or something that was 'born' before you even died! That is just simple logic! Damn, and I thought Discovery didn't make sense!
Umm...nope.
I like Orville in a “it’s entertaining in the moment” kind of way but I’m unlikely to rewatch any of it. The boxed set of DSC when released, however, will go on the shelf next to my TOS blu-rays.

And killed Sylvia from "Catspaw(TOS)":
I like The Orville better than Discovery (it is more "out there" which is something I like in sci-fi), but I bought the first seasons of both on disc.
With his “cockney” accent? The wretch!And murdered Sylvia from "Catspaw(TOS)"
Oh wait, I could actually go on and on), but of course YMMV.
Everything you've mentioned, I think The Orville has simply done better. Early season two of Discovery closed the gap a little bit, but then at mid-season it stumbled.
Absurdist/screwball comedy is my favorite type of comedy. Thank you for the laughter.
Why do you have to be disrespectful? Can't you handle an opinion different from your own?
I respect opinions regarding what people have a preference for, which is why I deliberately put in a YMMV after I stated I found Discovery to personally be 'more out there' than Discovery in disagreement with your assessment.
He found the comment amusing...?Why do you have to be disrespectful? Can't you handle an opinion different from your own?
I know I was just a kid, but I liked that show!

it is - cultural imperialism - just think of me using general lydia van dyke all day long and expecting you guys to know herI didn't realize that using references from film is now considered as acting like America is the center of the world.![]()
Yes, I get cultural imperialism, and agree that it tends to happen. In many cases, yes, it would be helpful for more explanations on who someone is. But in this case, Charlotte Kerr wasn't in a Disney film that made quite a lot of money, and seen by a lot of people, outside the U.S.it is - cultural imperialism - just think of me using general lydia van dyke all day long and expecting you guys to know her
i do know most of your us tv heroes (that's kinda normal in europe) but we are not supossed to know them all, are we?
