The comedian played an out-of-work airline exec turned crotchety homebody in this series, his first sitcom following the juggernaut 'Cosby Show' of the 1980s. Phylicia Rashad was again cast as his wife. The show was based on the Britcom 'One Foot in the Grave.'
The Canadian-born comic hosts this summer comedy-variety series. A 1976 version of the show aired on Canada's CTV network and introduced Joe Flaherty, Dave Thomas, Martin Short, Andrea Martin and John Candy, who went on to comprise the 'SCTV' troupe.
