While I am HUGE TAGS fan and own the first three seasons (my favorites), I also love the old Dick Van Dyke show, and have three seasons of that as well. I was watching the episode entitled "The Masterpiece", in which the writers of the Alan Brady Show attended an antique auction to do some research, then unwittingly bid on a painting that would be later bought by an art devotee, Ernest Holdecker. This character, an eccentric German, was played by none other than Howard Morris! He did a fabulous job, and was as entertaining as he has been as Ernest T. Bass (notice the same first name!) What a talented and versatile actor!
