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.

I don't blame them for not mentioning "The New Odd Couple." (Ron Glass as Felix, Demond Wilson as Oscar.) It was a terrible show that lasted a half season. They made three big mistakes with this show: 1) Anytime you name a show "The New ___ , it's doomed from the start. 2) Since it was a black version of the original show, they tried too hard too make it 'hip." 3) They basically recycled old scripts from the Tony Randall/Jack Klugman version.

That being said, he was great on "Barney Miller." R.I.P. Ron Glass.
