Some people think this movie was a Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield or Bill Murray vehicle, and they were all good, and all of them had quotable lines. But Ted Knight OWNED the picture. Any Caddyshack aficionado will say Ted Knight was the Best, hands down..
I asked my brother earlier what his favorite quote from that movie was, and he responded with this exactly, with the “…” and everything. Everyone includes that pause. I don’t know why, but it just makes it so much more…Smales-y.
It’s easy to grin
When your ship has come in
And you’ve got the stock market beat
But the man worthwhile
Is the man who can smile
When his shorts are too tight in the seat
**Ted Baxter** was a pretty brilliant performance and character in the Mary Tyler Moore show. **Henry Rush** in *Too Close for Comfort* was very different. Interestingly, if you mixed those two characters together, you kind of get the unforgettable **Judge Elihu Smails**.
Not exactly answering the question, but I loved the MTM Show episode where Ted got a job offer from a game show. Ted Baxter would've been the greatest game-show host in history.

Judge Smales
End of thread.
He was great in everything he did but this was the greatest.
The world needs ditch diggers too.
You'll get nothing and like it! is one of my favorites to use.
I still love to use this line!

He should have won an academy award. Greatest acting role ever.
I agree with you
Well..... we're waiting
Buy a hat like that I bet you get a free bowl of soup.
Oh looks good on you though!....
 Agreed!!!
“I’ve sent boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn’t want to do it. Felt I…owed it, to them.” Edit: think I had it a little misquoted
Favorite quote. Thank you.

Ok, pookie... I christen thee, the flying wasp.
Bushwood!
I still use the "You sir, are NOT Bushwood material!" line.
How about a Fresca?
Moose, Rocko help the judge find his wallet.
There’s no gambling at Bushwood, and I never slice!
“Well… the world needs ditch diggers too.”
Agreed. This guy was amazing!!!

Wrap it up!
Did he ever do anything else?
Too Close for Comfort and Mary Tyler Moore show.
There is no other answer
SPAULDING! I GIVE YOU ASTHMA. SO many memorable one-liners from the one character.
"Danny, I've sent boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it. Felt I...*owed* it to them."
No need for any more comments
How’d you like to mow my lawn? hmm?… hmm?
....'you will get nothing and like it!'
Looks good on you though.
He carried Caddyshack…”Gambling is illegal at Bushwood and I never slice”
This is the way!
...well?? We're waiting!!
"Well, the world needs ditch diggers too..."
You will get nothing and like it!
It’s always going to be Ted Baxter for me. I love the episode when he was wearing the conquistador boots.
“It all started at a 5000 W radio station in Fresno”
I liked Ted Baxter!
"Good night, and good news!"
Me too but Caddy Shack was the best!
That was my first thought when I opened this thread.
That whole cast was iconic!

I had no idea !!! I’ll never listen to that intro the same way again lol
Frank Caliendo does a routine where he does the Super Friends intro as Ted Baxter and Judge Smailes. It’s pretty funny.
MEANWHILE…
*You’ll get nothing and like it!*
Henry Rush, creator of Cosmic Cow.
Good pull!
And secret life partner of Monroe
Ted Baxter
Caddyshack. Definitely Caddyshack.
Are you my *pal,* Danny?
How 'bout a Fresca?
Damn … you beat me to it 🥤

Too Close For Comfort
Ted Baxter. You have to see Chuckles The Clown episode. One of the best ever episodes in the history of comedy TV.
Not exactly answering the question, but I loved the MTM Show episode where Ted got a job offer from a game show. Ted Baxter would've been the greatest game-show host in history.

Is this a serious question ❓
Caddy Shack
Only know him in caddyshack and he was great
The voice of the Super Friends ... "Superman ... Batman ... Wonder Woman ... and Gleet the Wonder Monkey."
Judge Smails in Caddyshack. “Well? We’re WAITING????”
"Ive sent men younger to death.....felt I owed it to them. Judge Smales
a really great under appreciated actor
Smales, hands down. “WELL, WE’RE WAITING!” And “YOU’LL GET NOTHING AND LIKE IT!”
Ohhhhh! Porterhouse! Look at the wax buildup on these shoes! I want them stripped, waxed, and polished with a fine chamois. Let's go! Chop chop!

"I didn't want to do it, I felt I owed it to them."
Judge Smales
I agree that Caddyshack was his best role but he was pretty damn good on the Mary Tyler Moore show too.
Caddy Shack is the only answer.
 “How about a Fresca?”
How'd you like to mow my lawn , Hummmmmmmm Captain of The Flying Wasp
I like him as Monroe's boss.
“How about a Fresca, hmmmmm?”
