I recently purchased 'Love, American Style' (Season 1, Volume 1) on  DVD. One 
episode features Hal Smith, (Otis on TAGS) and Dorothy Neumann, (his  wife 
Rita on TAGS), but they are in different segments. Smith plays an  unnamed 
drunk 
who says that he is on his way to his AA (Alcoholics Anonymous)  meeting. A 
CBS executive wanted to rid the character of Otis from TAGS  became Otis 
portrayed alcoholics in a negative light. The CBS exec was also an  alcoholic 
himself. It's ironic that one full season after TAGS went off the  air that a 
very 
Otis-like character,in fact, a dead ringer, would jovially say  that he is on 
his way to his AA meeting. Attending an AA meeting is  something that Otis 
would never do.
