Damn, that's right - I forgot he was the first villain. Good call.
For some reason, the first thing that popped into my mind when I heard of
Fritz's death - and this is not verbatim, it's been 35 years since I've
seen this episode - but I recall Mariette Hartley on The Tonight Show
telling Johnny a story about Fritz getting into a taxi and the cabbie
immediately recognizing him. Fritz was not used to being recognized, so he
asked "How do you know my name?" The cabbie replied, "Oh, I know all the
nobodies."
