Talk:Ted Baxter

Mid-series Crisis?

• ABOUT MIDWAY THROUGH "MTM" TEDD BAXTER adutions as a host of a New York City Game Show. Could Ted Knight have been tired of playing Ted Baxter {typecast?}. Ironically the series showed Baxter could actually by a compent TV personality-when he was not a newscaster-when he tried out as a game show host; when he was a talk show host; when he did comericals as "Farmer Ted". (unsigned, undated comment)

I added some details - Knight did consider leaving, mainly because up to that point Ted Baxter had been made to look like an COMPLETE idiot. They toned it down a bit in seasons after that. NickBurns (talk) 16:31, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Editorialize much?

"He gives new meaning to the term incompetence." 12.44.117.10 20:21, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I almost deleted that, but then I read on. The entire article may have been written by one person, with no sources cited at all. I don't know what sources exactly one would cite for 'Ted Baxter,' but maybe episode titles for certain points, such as his fear of going on vacation? And I disagree that Mary got along with him better than any other staffers (I'd say it was Murray), but I can't back up my assertion any better than the writer. I'm stymied as to what to do here.

It all started

I think we should have Ted's speech about his begining. "It All Started in a 5000-Watt Radio Station in Fresno, California..." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arthritix (talk • contribs) 23:25, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Should NPOV extend to the trivia section?

Bill O'Reilly is labled an infotainer while Olbermann isn't when they do pretty much the same schtick, albeit from different angles? --12.28.101.34 16:18, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

bears a resemblance is better phrasing in the absence of evidence of intentional homage - enough people have verifiably remarked on the resemblance, anyway. Schissel | Sound the Note! 01:38, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
