Nice to see that you're still updating the site. Daniels was outstanding in this role, hence the Emmy. You could feel the tension between him and Begley, and others. The "seniors" in the cast - Flanders, Lloyd, Daniels, who was still middle age at the time, even Pickles - lent a credibility and maturity largely missing from today's television.
