i dont think i can put them in order and i don’t wanna repeat popular choices.

And Shakes makes three. Among the James-Thurber character quotes that live forever: “I hate women, they know where things are”.

William Windom is still with us -woo hoo!

Kids, when you start to get old, check out the Night Gallery episode, “They’re Tearing Down Tim Riley’s Bar”.

55

Previously I DID nominate the entire cast of Married With Children, but Al Bundy is The Man.

56

William Windom is one of those guys that should have been a giant, instead of just a character actor. It broke my heart seeing him play second fiddle to Angela Lansbury, (moreso to see him mouthing that inane dialogue) but, OTOH, good to know that he could find a job!

hh

57

Wasn’t William Windom the other captain who took over the Enterprise in that space-funnel-of-death episode? He did a memorable job.
