I've been pretty damn lucky in my interviewing life so far. Almost all of the celebs I've dealt with have been nice, professional, and a pleasure to talk to. So it's always interesting to read an account of a star I've never talked to. Ken Levine has an entry on his blog about one of the biggest sitcom stars of the 80s, Ted Danson.
Levine worked with Danson on both Cheers and Becker, and says that all stars should take lessons at the Ted Danson School Of Star Etiquette. Levine calls him "forever gracious, professional, on time, supportive, unselfish, makes everyone from guest stars to visitors feel completely welcome."
Wow, I can't even say that about any of my family members.
The reason I bring this up is that Danson's new show, Help Me, Help You, premieres tonight at 9:30 on ABC.

Infamous last words but, you get that vibe watching him. I have heard the same about his wife as well.
Yeah, now I really want to (at least Tivo) his show tonight.

I guess that shows that Danson doesn't take anything for granted like a lot of these wretched young "stars" (*cough* Lindsay Lohan *cough*)
