Ah, you're right. He probably tripped on Mary Tyler Moore or their shaggy dog. (Didn't they have a shaggy dog?)

Thanks, lefty. I don't remember the one where he doesn't trip at all. It's fairly amazing, however, how nearly identical those three are with the exceptions of the trip.

Are you crazy? Silk Stalkings with the original cast of Rob Estes and Mitzi Kapture was awesome! How you can not like a show where they call each other Sam in honor of Sam Snead?

Put in a good word for me.
