Hey guys. Just listen to my first MM Podcast – lots of fun.
Season 4 & 5 best by far. Best Episode: Bug Out for sure.
The bit when they knock on the “schoolhouse” to find a new home for the 40 double natural and the actress who would become Rosie answers the door is bar none. Between breaking Franks whistle and when Potter yells “Tarts!” and Burns says – “A Bakery?” and reals off more cluelessness – its one of Linville’s best moments as Burns. What a sport he was for playing that role. Pure fun- this show truly has no equal when it comes to the convergence of writers and actors on television.
Jeff- every appearance you made on the show always contributed to making the show better- you are as much a part of the show as any other character. And your Cagney was pretty good too! Just wanted to say that.
Keep up fellas! Grateful for your mutual appreciation of show and for the podcast.
