@OneDramatic @landofthe80s She was great. It was the episode where Laverne winds up on death row. Lorraine Newman was also in the episode.

@DrPopCultureUSA And her first directing gig was the pilot of Working Stiffs with Michael Keaton and Jim Belushi. She was the best.

[Marc Sotkin @marcsotkin]

@Russ_Graves Penny was the best. So inventive. Her first directing gig was on the pilot I wrote, Working Stiffs. She was great showing Michael Keaton and Jim Belushi inventive physical comedy.

@StOlafStories One of my favorites.

@DrPopCultureUSA I wrote an episode of I'm A Big Girl now where Sheldon played Danny Thomas' ex- partner who had run off with his wife. They were producing partners on many hit shows. Big thrill for TV fan like me getting to work with 2 giants.

@SitcomPeople I grew up watching Danny. His humor was very much like my father's. So getting to write for him on I'm A Big Girl now, and again on It's A Living, was a dream come true. Nothing better than making him laugh.

@DrPopCultureUSA I still watch it every week. Still some good, some bad, as always. And I get to know who Dua Lipa is.

[Marc Sotkin @marcsotkin]

@DrPopCultureUSA She played the maid, Katie, on Topper. It was a great show in the 50's. I'm old.

[Marc Sotkin @marcsotkin]

@SitcomPeople Yup, him too - Golden Palace.

@Russ_Graves Cesar Romero, just another one of the greats I got to work with on The Golden Girls. It was such a kick.

[Marc Sotkin @marcsotkin]

@DrPopCultureUSA One of my very favorite GG episodes was when Sonny and Lyle Waggoner had a thing for Dorothy. He was great. Sonny Bono, get off of my lanai.

@SitcomPeople Another on the list of greats I got to work with on The Golden Girls. He was funny, friendly and great to work with.

[Marc Sotkin @marcsotkin]

@DrPopCultureUSA Just funny. That's all we cared about.

If it walks like a duck. And quacks like a duck. And does the Nazi salute like a duck. It's a fucking Nazi duck.

@SitcomPeople Very few people know that early in our careers, Garry and I did a double act. His middle name was Emanuel, and my middle name is Daniel. We were Daniel and Emanuel. The act was terrible. Fortunately, I got my first staff job. I don't know what happened to Garry.
