3. he was awesome
i didn't realize he was that old, I saw him recently on TV and he was talking about the Brady Bunch and being really hilarious. He loved talking about it and had a lot of really interesting things to say about it.

4. Always wondered why Carol didn't work outside the home, but still needed
a full time housekeeper, right there next to her, all day.

5. "May the power of the Schwartz be with you." -- Spaceballs.
I always thought that line was a tribute by Mel Brooks to the genius of Mr Schwartz.

Comedy kept me alive this long, but there's nothing funny on tv anymore, except old Seinfeld reruns.

8. forgive me for what I am about to post...
I sure hope it wasn't Hatch's senate floor stunt using the image of Thurston Howell that was the final straw.

Couldn't. help. self.

Thanks for the enjoyable hours of viewing Mr. Schwartz. RIP and condolences to your loved ones.
