Hey it was the Mayor!

I was rather startled to see Harry Groener aka Mayor Richard Wilkins III drop into this episode for one scene. He was playing Ted's mom's boyfriend Clint. He looked older than he did in Buffy - he had a beard and there was gray in it. But hey, time passes.

Thanks. I was just trying to remember the part he played, because I keep a running account of actor notices here -

The guy who played Cyvus Vale was in the Lost Room last night too.

Who was he (and how did I miss that)?

He was wearing a beard. He played Ted's mother's boyfriend. The last we see of him he takes the phone from Ted's mother to talk to Ted. Ted walks away hanging up the phone. I suspect he'll be back.

No, I meant on the Lost Room 🙂

yeah, i was so happy when i saw HG. i was like 'yay, buffy people!'. and i also know the mom from something else i cant remember, but anyway, the point is that i recognized her too, and so i was double happy! 🙂 :cheering:

Sometimes the link lands you on the wrong one. You may have to click around a bit.

Incidentally, I believe this was the 11th episode of Season 2, not the 12th. From the episode guides on the tv.com and tvguide.com sites I gather that the titles and air dates are:

1. "Where Were We?" - Sep 18, 2006
2. "The Scorpion and the Toad" - Sep 25, 2006
3. "Brunch" - Oct 2, 2006
4. "Ted Moseby: Architect" - Oct 9, 2006
5. "World's Greatest Couple" - Oct 16, 2006
6. "Aldrin Justice" - Oct 23, 2006
7. "Swarley" - Nov 6, 2006
8. "Atlantic City" - Nov 13, 2006
9. "Slap Bet" - Nov 20, 2006
10. "Single Stamina" - Nov 27, 2006
11. "How Lily Stole Christmas" - Dec 11, 2006

I think some of the titles got changed along the way, like "Swarley" may have been originally listed on some preview and spoiler sites as "Crazy Eyes". Rather confusing.

I just went by Spoiler Fix *shrugs*
