I've been out of town, so I am just getting to listen to this weeks podcast. Here's a picture of the James Garner statue in Norman. In the background you can see the old train depot where my wife and I had our rehearsal dinner:

This is something to be proud of. Seriously, all we have is SRV in a poncho... shameful.
(Garner's got nads!)

You can kind of see the James Garner Avenue sign in this picture:

Wait, you and your wife have to rehearse dinner?
What are you, richer than Laurie?

They're just really, really awkward socially, hence the need for practice.

A good Best Show topic might be "who should have a statue built of them in their hometown"
last year after the van halen debacle i wanted to erect a statue of michael anthony in pasadena.

We got an Andy Griffith statue in Raleigh from the TV Land folks YEARS ago.

Let's hope The Gorch knows nothing of the Bronz Fonz...

Mary Tyler Moore statue in Minneapolis. "Hey wow, something in pop culture realized our city existed! Thanks, lady from Hollywood!"

aren't all of these stupid TV statues being put in place by tvland?

Bangor has a statue of a cartoon Paul Bunyan:

A redeeming passage in Stephen King's It (I think--some Stephen King book, anyway) recounts its destruction. Made me happy--I always hated the thing, which I saw all the time since it was on the route from my house into Bangor proper.

I think a decent amount of them are.
Jackie Gleason stands outside Port Authority Bus Terminal in NYC, I believe with a TVLand plaque.
I remember some citizens of Salem, MA were irritated that TVLand was putting up a Bewitched statue, in light of the actual historical circumstances.

Has someone made a Lebowski statue yet?

Did you know that over a dozen Paul Bunyan statues exist across the US? There are three in MN alone and Paul Bunyan's wife has a statue in Hackensack, MN. That's some deep respect for a folk legend.
