New TV Fad: Character Teams Named After Old Actors

A slow connection is my newest excuse for not having a long post today, but for a quick TV-related observation, how’s this: There are two popular comedies that have two-character teams named for beloved character actors of the past. First there was Sheldon and Leonard, named after Sheldon Leonard, the great tough-guy actor who became a successful TV producer. And now Modern Family has Cameron and Mitchell, named for Cameron Mitchell, an actor who was in absolutely everything ever made.
