I’ve got two. In “Hollywood Shuffle,” Robert Townsend is going quietly insane trying to make it in the movies. All the while, as he complains about not being able to get work, his grandmother always retorts with “There’s work at the Post Office!”
The final scene has him doing a commercial for the Post Office.
Next, on the children’s program “The Big Comfy Couch” the mail is delivered every day by a friendly fellow named Major Bedhead.
There is a current TV show called “The Inspectors” that is all about postal inspectors. I’ve seen it once. I think it is on CBS on their weekend morning edutainment programming. But it is a scripted show, like Law and Order for the USPS.
There’s actually a reason for the question, but I have struck out…
I go to my local post office a lot - I have a side business selling books by mail - and have gotten to know most of the people working the front. One is a sweetheart and a good friend, one is a really nice person…
And one strikes me as a stereotypical “postal clerk”. To the point that I feel like I’ve seen him as a type in some show or other.
The closest I could come to describing him right now, is Cliff Claven’s personality minus the trivia buff aspect.
