| .0, I agree with your father. Some other good ones: the late Nicholas
Colasanto (sp?) on "Cheers", and Jerry Van Dyke on "Coach".

| You can't be stupid and do good comedy. If it's going to be funny (and
not just stupid), you have to be stupid at the right time and in the
right way.

| .3-.5 Absolutely. Though I think of Jim (Iggy) as almost an
idiot-savant (not like Rain Man, maybe a dimwit-savant? :-}

RE: "Taxi"
You know Jim's story, right?
He was a minister until someone slipped him a batch of marijuana
brownies, and he ended up eating them all and getting hooked.
So rather than a "dimwit-savant", I believe I'd call him, basic-
ally, a burn-out. 8^)

I give credit to the actors who play dumb on screen. Alot of times
these actors get stero-typed big time and they never do anything again.
Another Dumbie on tv - Jethro Bodine/Max Bear on the Beverly
Hillbillies. I read in real life he was very smart and creative - but
due to his Jethro days - he was never taken seriously.

| Bob Denver (Maynard G Krebs on Dobie Gillis, and Gilligan) was an
English teacher at the time.
And Stan Laurel was a pure genius.
