S5.E24 Jack Soo, a Retrospective

Episode aired May 17, 1979

The death of Jack Soo in 1979 marked the passing of both a fine comedy actor and one of TV's most memorable characters: Nick Yemana, the deadpan detective known for his dry wit and wretched coffee.

This tribute to Soo features reminiscences by the series regulars as well as some notable Yemana vignettes:

  • Nick's curious response to an ink-blot test administered by a police psychiatrist
  • His attraction to a Japanese woman who turns out to be a hooker
  • His inability to stop singing after he innocently eats brownies laced with hashish.
