And a doctor on St. Elsewhere if you go a bit farther back

Knight Rider started a month earlier than St Elsewhere.

I remember William Daniels from Soap yet looking it up now that was just one episode. He clearly made an impression.

He plays a great John Adams in 1776 too

Interesting, I thought St. Elsewhere had already been on the air for a year or two when Knight Rider aired. TIL.

A few years ago Hulu had the first season available; excellent show, I was too young to want to watch it when it first came on.

And Bartlett was his wife on the show.

They were both on St. Elsewhere!

I watched Knight Rider in the 80s and grew up with Boy Meets World in the 90s (Me and Ben Savage are same age) and I didn't make that connection until my 20s.

That voice is just iconic... they need a siri makeover.. in another time-line he'd be the voice prompt

"You don't have to yell Michael, I'm all around you."

TIL that William Daniels, famous for playing Mr. Feeney on "Boy Meets World," has been married to to actress and fellow Emmy Award winner Bonnie Bartlett since June 30, 1951; at more than 71 years, it is the longest active Hollywood marriage as of today.
