Car 54, Where Are You Tidbits

Officers Toody (Joe E. Ross) and Muldoon (Fred Gynne) worked in New York's 53rd Precinct, which is a mixed neighborhood, both Irish and Jewish.

Aside from being cops, these two had nothing in common. One was smart, tall, thin and lived with his mother. The other was short, chubby and not too bright.

The first cop sitcom, it also featured Nipsey Russell as Officer Anderson, unusual as blacks weren't getting recurring roles in those days.

Passings

Joe E. Ross died in 1982 and Fred Gynne in 1993 of pancreatic cancer.
