I’m sure he was a fine man (at least by Hollywood standards) and he lived a long life with a solid career. I just never thought he was funny.

I also resented the fact that Bob Newhart’s characters needed two or three morons to play off of when most comedians were able to get by with just one. Newhart’s wives were the only sane people in his shows and 30 minutes in his world made me grieve for humanity.

Still, I realize Daily was merely playing a character and was different in real life.

So because of Bill Daily, more morons found work. Even morons need to make a living you know.

That's why they call those characters "straight men." They are there for the comics to play off of. I don't think you get comedy.

I'm guessing you were more of a Mannix guy - he got the crap beat out of him every episode.
