What, no mention of his time on the black Odd Couple?

Okay, we can agree to not mention that. Loved his work on Barney Miller and Firefly.

That’s right...’Shepherd Book’ in both ‘Firefly’ and the sequel film, ‘Serenity’.

That opening beat to the show was epic, right up there with James Garner TV show.

Very good episode of All in the Family where Michael and Archie remember him very differently
