Think "All in the Family" without the racism or topical humor.<BR/><BR/>When that tanked, Lynde was given a role in the second season of the medical-themed sitcom "Temperatures Rising". He replaced the fired James Whitmore, who just died yesterday.<BR/><BR/>So there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4769182429548648842.post-5769867092981763172008-09-22T03:56:00.000-05:002008-09-22T03:56:00.000-05:00I will certainly get this Paul Lynde Halloween spe...I will certainly get this Paul Lynde <A HREF="http://www.couponalbum.com/category/halloween.htm" REL="nofollow">Halloween</A> special form <A HREF="http://www.couponalbum.com/coupons/amazon.htm" REL="nofollow">Amazon</A>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
