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.
