That outfit Pat Harrington, Jr. wore as “Schneider” on “One Day at a Time” was pretty much modeled after what Art Carney wore as Ed Norton (minus the hat, of course).

Kristin, I know you’ll probably never be back, but I’d love if you could elaborate. I read the article when it was first posted and again after reading your comment, and I don’t get it.

If you’re referring to the pictures used as an example of what happened on the show, I think almost the whole world agrees with you, which is why the second episode discussed here happened.

This is tacky and disgusting.

I’ve seen both the first episode of this show and the second where Gleason spent the entire program time apologizing. This show was truly bad and it leads you to believe that didn’t try it on a test audience before going to air. But in true Gleason fashion, he turned things around with the second episode.
