Uncle Leo, The Fonz, and Betamax's Grandpa
learningwithmrsmith4 March 2022
It was a trip seeing Uncle Leo from Seinfeld push his nose around his face. I'm thinking "cool. Big star from TV's comedy past" then Fonzi pops out of Bob's elevator. Henry Winkler plays an edgy but honest thief.

Bob ends up with this weird device for recording TV programs. We get only a glance at this machine, it looks like some misshapen reel to reel audio recorder from the sixties. This must have been filmed more than year before Betamax started with their tape inside the enclosed box.

Also, some interesting commentary on time misspent on watching sports on TV. I wonder if Newhart was a sports fan IRL.

Best Howard line yet, "Tell the worm everything's fine."
