Yes - Lou Grant is the same character on both shows. albeit the character wasn't as funny the second time around.

I think this means skip going forward. I’ll put @KarmaPolice on the 15 min skip from now on unless you don’t want that

Not many of these left to take, but I’ll grab one of my favorites here. Yo Mama selects:
41.16 – The Gong Show – Game Show
This was one of my favorite shows in large part because I wasn’t allowed to watch it (but I still figured out how to sneak regular viewings). Raunchy, sarcastic, stupid, hilarious – this show was a huge contributor to my personal sense of humor. This classic featured a variety of coked-out “celebrity” judges, acts and a host that constantly battled with the network censors, the Unknown Comic, Gene Gene the Dancing Machine, a CIA hitman for a host, a whopping winning prize of $516.32, and even had some “talent” that went on to do more beyond the gong show (Paul Reubens, Oingo Boingo, Boxcar Willie, Cheryl Lynn, Stanley Tookie Williams, Mare Winningham, and Brian Billick).
Plus, the Popsicle Twins put on a show that I still remember vividly today.

Lot’s of great finales, but I had a huge connection to this one.
42.01 – Friday Night Lights “Always” – Finale
I loved how this show ended. Great closure to most of the story lines, with it’s normal excellent balance between sports and personal drama. The connection I had to the episode was it very clearly depicted the feeling of an athlete playing their “last” game at a certain level. It definitely brought me back to my own experience with my last high school game (even though I went on to play in college – look at me – that last high school game was a roller coaster of emotions).
TV Guide ranked this the best TV episode of the year, and this finale is widely recognized as one of the best and most rewarding finales of all time.

Ok. I can see both sides in that they played different roles on two different shows as shown by you using him as Supporting actor and us trying to use him as Lead Drama.

by counting stats, the Queen of 21st C supporting characters, but the pound-for-pound best performer in the category (for all time, for my money) is still on the board

Round 41.11 - Finale - St Elsewhere
Figured I'd better get this in while I could.

I guess @Zow is in a meeting. Since he's already picked in the category I'm going in, I'll just go.
Round 42.06 - News Personality - Ed Bradley
His Emmy list is so long, I had to go to the IMDB for it.

This one is polarizing, but through no fault of the writers. In universe, it's an interesting and thought-provoking wrap up.
On the Internet, 20 years later ... all the attempts to link this finale to half of scripted television got just a little contrived and ridiculous.

My grandfather’s second wife’s daughter was a producer on The Gong Show, so when I was a kid I went to a live showing and got to meet Chuck Barris.

RD. 42- Kato- Supporting Man 1951-1970
Bruce Lee landed the role of Kato purely because of his skills as a martial artist. As Kato, Lee continued to amaze both audiences and the people filming him by dispatching his enemies with lightning fast kicks. Thanks almost entirely to Lee’s martial arts prowess, Kato quickly became the star of the show and thousands of fans would tune in just to see how Kato was going to wreck someone’s #### that week.

"The Tommy Westphall Universe" is kind of an amazing piece of work. It got it's start, though, because two people with a bee in their bonnet thought the St. Elsewhere finale was a ridiculous cop-out.

I hadn't looked at the Tommy Westphall Universe map for a while -- I had forgotten that The Honeymooners (!), Gilligan's Island, StarTrek, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer are ALSO claimed to be merely Tommy Westphall dreams. Also Doctor Who and Knight Rider. And hundreds of others.
