Mr Carlson: How many times have you said to yourself, "If I knew then what I know now"? Well, by golly, this is the new then. Now, I mean. Because I know now what I didn't used to know then. As a manner of speaking, you could say that I know now what I know now.

RIP, Big guy.

[lainie]

Darn it, now I've got that song "Mr. Lonely" in my head.

[Jackknife]

........Be still my heart! Bailey.
Another GREAT Mr.Carlson episode was when he thought the c'caine was foot powder.....'I GOT MONKEYS ON MY FEET!!!!!!!

[alnick]

"Oh my God, ladies and gentlemen, the parking lot is being bombed by ... live turkeys!"

Bailey was hotter than Jennifer.

Jan Smithers was built like a brick and, besides, she was good lookin', too!

[Cheapskate]

Yeah, I always thought she was SMOKIN HOT!

[namsman]

That is still one of the funniest lines ever delivered on a sitcom. I think of it each and every Thanksgiving.

[shadowman99]

Hey, you're young and swingin',
No time to think about tomorrow
But there ain't no way to deny it
Some day, you're gonna buy it.
Plan today,
Go with Ferryman
Tomorrow!
Ferryman, Ferryman,
he's the man with the plot, the man with the plan!
Ferryman, Ferryman,
He's the mortician man who loves you!
A lot!

Ferryman, Ferryman,
Bye Bye!
Ferryman, Ferryman,
Bye Bye!

[SAMWolf]

A great show. What a cast!

[chaosagent]

Not to be too picky, but I think the line was actually "hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement!"

[chaosagent]

"Reeddd Wigglers, The Cadillac of Worms!"

[lainie]

"In a situation like this, I always ask myself, what would my hero Edward R. Murrow think? And I think that Ed would think that this was censorship. Then I think about what my other hero, General George Patton, would think, and I think George would think that radio and television ought to be cleaned up, and if he were alive today, he'd take two armored cavalry divisions into Hollywood and knock all those liberal pinheads into the Pacific! So as you can see, I'm a very confused man. And when I get confused, I watch TV. Television is never confusing. It's all so simple somehow."

[Cheapskate]

Snicker Yeah, that's alright1

Snicker Yeah, that's alright1

"In Philadelphia, thousands frightened. More right after this."
-Les Nessman, 1978

[lainie]

Oh! What was the quote from the pilot episode, when the guy in the car is entering town and flips the AM dial just in time to hear 'while denying his intoxication, the senator could not explain his nudity.'

[lainie]

Actually, surprisingly, if not alarmingly,

As God is my witness, I thought Gordon Jump was Venus Fly Trap
