MONDAY MINUTIAE - LEONARD'S LEGACY

From Wikipedia:
Sheldon Leonard Bershad (February 22, 1907 – January 11, 1997) was an American film and television actor, producer, director, and writer.

In "Monkees Marooned", the eighth episode of the second season of ‘The Monkees’, a character named "Leonard Sheldon", and speaking with Leonard's accent, approaches Peter Tork on the street, much like "The Tout" and persuades Tork to trade his guitar for a treasure map.

His name served as an eponym for the characters Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter in the American sitcom ‘The Big Bang Theory’, because the writers are fans of his work.

There’s no anniversary to mark here.  I just wanted to acknowledge how much regard others in the business had for Mr. Leonard and his influence on TV programming, especially in the realm of sitcoms.

BCnU!
