Absolute comedic hero in my book. Fernwood Tonight (w/ Alan Thicke's writing) was a laugh riot.

I think the last time he "kicked his age" was at 49. Impressive.

Loved him in Fernwood Tonight and Mary Hartman. Then he was again great as Russel on 2.5 Men.

I'm guessing @LafayetteBear hasn't seen this clip.

Those born after around 1975 would never understand Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. I remember one story line where a Vietnam vet who had his pecker shot off in the war was trying to get a transplant from a German Shepard.

Norman Lear was really good at what he did.

Good actor .RIP Martin .

Someone could probably find this piece from Fernwood but I can only describe it. Martin Mull says he wants to play a song but it is probably too mature for a television audience so he will just leave out pieces of the song and hum instead. He starts the song and hums over parts of it but one of the phrases he sings is “mayonnaise and rope”. My wife and I still laugh about it 40 years later.
