Agreed. My favorite Alda character is Lester from Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Alda was funny in “The Four Seasons.” Dear Lord, talk about a gaggle of annoying, braying, whiny, pretentious characters (okay, “The Big Chill” probably has them beat). I never could figure out why they kept vacationing together, but their mishaps and arguments were funny.
Good luck to Alan dealing with his condition.
