Ted Baxter Meets Norman Bates

Long before Ted Knight became Ted Baxter on Mary Tyler Moore, he played a policeman in the last few minutes of Psycho, and I never noticed despite having seen Psycho dozens of times and despite the fact that young Ted Knight looks almost exactly like Mary Tyler Moore-era Ted Knight.

And that is neat, and not just for my weirdo crossover fanfiction plans.

Psycho, previously:

• A midnight swim with Anthony Perkins
• A boy's best friend is Vera Farmiga
• What's so gay about Psycho II (the book, not the movie)

Fall of the House of Worsted-Tex

Ignore the lovely legs of Mary Tyler Moore striding by in the background and pay attention to the name of the menswear provider, which draped the likes of Gavin MacLeod and Ted Knight in spite of the notable handicap of having the most terrible brand name ever.

I don't know if it sounds more like a drunk Texan or just the most objectionable clothes in Texas.
