From 1969, comedy duo Buddy (Brandon Maggart) and Jim (James Catusi). Buddy gets a snazzy new jacket and Jim tries to show him the massive label still on the back. Includes a brief intro with Gordon (Matt Robinson) showing Susan (Loretta Long) his new suede jacket. CLICK ON SHOW MORE FOR INFO AND LINKS!

Sad to say I could find very little info on what became of the actor that played Jim, James Catusi (1939-2009), other than his passing, but I'm delighted to find Brandon Maggart (Buddy) is still kickin' on Facebook (@Brandon Maggart), Twitter (@brmaggart), and via his own site linked below. Pop by and say, "Hey, Buddy!", I'm sure he'd love it ;-)

Buddy and Jim appeared on the Street for the first season (1969-1970) and Joe Raposo wrote their jaunty theme music. In Season 2, they were replaced by real-life married couple (1964–1999), Larry (Alan Arkin) and Phyllis (Barbara Dana), who were in turn replaced by Wally (Joe Ponazecki) and Ralph (Paul Price) in Season 3.
