They include a Mexican gardener (Ringo Starr), a poet (Richard Burton), a guru (Marlon Brando), a Minuteman general (Walter Matthau), a surgeon (James Coburn), and Candy's uncle and father-both played by John Astin.

...Sitchcoms. The best new situation comedy is ABC's I'm Dickens-He's Fenster, a tale of two buddies (played by John Astin and Marty Ingels) who are construction carpenters with sawed-off brains. Both are bucking for foreman, but in the main they are slapsticking away with casual finesse. Dickens cocks his wrist to look at his watch and pours coffee into his lap. The laughter isn't canned. Mrs. Dickens is a knockout. No one misses Charles...
