Heroes of the Small Screen, 6

Anybody remember the great TV show Car 54 Where Are You? It was a comedy about New York City cops, created by Nat Hiken (who got his start writing for Fred Allen and after that created You'll Never Get Rich for Phil Silvers) and when I was a kid, I really loved watching Joe E. Ross as Officer Gunther Toody (his partner, Muldoon, was played by Fred Gwynne, pre-Herman Munster). Every kid I knew did a Toody imitation: it consisted of just prefacing every statemnet with "Ooh, ooh!" Why don't shows like this ever pop up on TVLand? Here's a clip:
