3. this is a total guess

Feb 2024

Lucile Tarlek is from WKRP in Cincinnati?

Based on the fact that one of the main characters is Herb Tarlek.

7. I vaguely remember the Herb character mentioning that he had a wife
Tue Feb 13, 2024, 10:34 PM
Feb 2024

but he was the typical sales slime cad in the show always hitting on Jennifer or even Bailey.

I honest to God don't remember his wife appearing in any episode.

Wed Feb 14, 2024, 08:40 PM

An episode in Season 1 when Herb & Lucille separated for a short time. (Herb stayed with Johnny for a few days)

Lucille played a major role in that episode.
(She appeared in other episodes as well)

Herb Tarleck was the ad salesman, so I'm guessing Lucille is his wife?

I do know the actor that played him also played a part in the Dick Van Dyke show. I believe he was either the director or producer of the Alan Brady Show.

Agh.

Part of his "crew" of street dealers, right?

Tweakers are basically junkies, aren't they? Or don't you count meth addicts?

red dog 1

76. Correct!
Fri Mar 22, 2024, 06:46 PM

"junkies" refers to heroin users.

Meth addicts are called "tweakers"

Anyhow, you got it!

Fri Mar 22, 2024, 06:57 PM

But I think technically the term "junkie" isn't restricted to just heroin.

Well, I was close anyway. I'll take the partial points!

Sat Mar 23, 2024, 02:21 PM

He was mostly a meth freak but he did do heroin with his neighbor/landlady Jane, so that makes him a junkie and a weaker.
