Thanks for reminding me about Mork & Mindy,I went straight from IMDb to here when I read the news.

I also note that he made guest appearences in Bob Newhart's last two sitcom attempts,"Bob" and "George and Leo".
Y'know it just occoured to me that "Newhart" will be marking it's 25th anniversay this September and this month marks 17 years since that hilarious finale! LOL!

I think Tom reached his ultimate career peak with "George Utley" the handyman of the Stratford Inn.
His entire career list equals 124 projects total, too many to post here.

His very last TV appearence was last year on cable's,"The Suite Life Of Zack & Cody",a "kid-com" about two boys who live in a fancy hotel.(Yes,with their parents.)

I did watch "Comitted" and I liked it but when I watched one night with a friend,she could not understand what was funny about the audience laughing,as Tom went through the living room,while the two main characters were making out on the couch. :D

I got a list of his "handful of movies:

Zotz! 1962
The Old Dark House 1963
Soldier In The Rain 1963

The inceredibly funny "Cold Turkey",where a whole town has to give up smoking. :D 1971/72?

The Happy Hooker !!

1978 flop Rabbit Test (starred Billy Crystal as the worlds 1st pregnant man).

"Up The Academy" (an Animal House type comedy).

Carbon Copy 1981

and the TV movie "The Girl,The Gold Watch and Dynamite". Sequel to "The Girl,The Gold Watch and Everything". About a gold watch that can start & stop time & everyone wants it.

At least the TV shows he was in were better.

Speaking of,Mary Margaret (Peggy) Cass she unfortunatly,passed way in March of 1999.
I last saw her on the premeire episode of
"Major Dad" w/ Gerald McCraney.
She was in the military same as he,but I'm guessing she was in a secretarial role. Didn't see her on there after that.

As I metioned I watched,"To T. T. Tr." as a kid and it's not easy to believe Joe Gargiola is the only remaining memeber of that '70s line-up.
