RE: Alan Rafkin
-Original Message- I just looked up Rafkin's bio and he directed a lot of shows over the years. Sadly, he's gone now, but it would be interesting to know how TAGS compared to the others and what his favorite show was. He directed 49 episodes of It's Gary Shandling's Show" and 86(!) of "Coach" and 26 of TAGS, so he must have liked those shows to have stayed with them that long. Does anyone know if he ever wrote a book or articles about his experiences? Sam http://www.tuttles.net the 'net's best comic strip Sam, Alan Rafkin wrote a book called "Cue the Bunny on the Rainbow", which is just what you're looking for. And, lucky for you, it's available at Weavers! Here's a link directly to it: http://tinyurl.com/2phxcv But, move fast! It looks like there's only one copy left!

Martha: Alan Rafkin also directed The Ghost and Mr. Chicken with Don Knotts. Just watched it last night. Not bad. With "Luther" in his old Salt and Pepper and the supporting cast including many from TAGS, it was fun to watch.

TAGS fans, I have been watching my DVDs of the 3rd season of "Coach" and almost every episode has been directed by Alan Rafkin, who also directed most of TAGS season 6. What a long and glorious career! And what different shows! Both are primarily character driven (though "Coach is a little more event-driven than TAGS") but what different characters. Andy may be a little grumpy at times in the later years, but Hayden Fox is always on edge. The sidekick (Luther) couldn't be more different from Barney, as Luther's always a worrier and very negative in outlook. I just looked up Rafkin's bio and he directed a lot of shows over the years.
