    Honestly, he had some serious health problems, surprised he hung on this long. RIP Johnny Fever and with God as my witness, Johnny, I swear I thought turkeys could fly!

    Well, I can't go for that (no can do)*

    a) great ensemble cast**
    b) Bailey Quarters. :D

    ** except for "Andy" -- he was, I think, meant to be the show's "Mary Tyler Moore"-equivalent, but he was mostly pointless. Everyone's straightperson (so to speak). :#

    I always though he could have been related to Jeff "skunk" Baxter from The doobies and Steely Dan.

    RIP. In the show, looks like they were using Russco tt's (w/16" platters) sporting Rek-o-kut tonearms...but I'm certainly not an expert.
