 Irma's boyfriend was played by John Brown. His name was Al. He was a total deadbeat. Never worked. He was a great character. Jane's boyfriend now, on the other hand, was a millionaire. He was a banker named Richard Rhinelander, and he was played by Leif Erikson. This series was created by Cy Howard, and Cy Howard also brought us Life with Luigi. Those were the two series that he created.
