    Loved this comedy so much.
    My brothers, sisters and I used to watch this, then get together and discuss it and laugh all over again. When my son passed away in 1991, we all met at the funeral home for the family viewing. I will never forget all of us standing in the lobby, most of us crying, when the funeral director and his assistant came to serve us. The assistant held out his hand and said "I am Ernie. I will be serving you this evening." The next thing you know, we were all laughing hysterically, and poor Ernie was standing there looking confused and shocked. Of course we explained it to him, and all was well after that. Still love Howie and would love a chance to see this short-lived show again.
