Gordy wasn't in many episodes. More of a recurring character.

"You've got spunk ... I hate spunk"

One of the greatest exchanges in the history of situation comedies.

"Wanna call a cop?".

Also...he calls cue cards "idiot cards". When Ted corrects him that it's cue cards he tells Murray to "give the cue cards to the idiot".

Don't forget: Slave ship Captain.

Asner appeared in three episodes of ABC's award-winning miniseries Roots as Captain Thomas Davies. For his performance, the TV legend won yet another Emmy, in the category of outstanding single performance by a supporting actor in a comedy or drama series. Roots follows the family line of creator Alex Haley, from the enslavement of his ancestor Kunta Kinte to the post-Civil War liberation of Kinte's lineage. The miniseries garnered widespread success and was one of the most-watched television series of its time.
