Given the tributes in the last 24+ hours for actor Ryan O'Neal, who passed away on Friday, few media articles even mentioned his 1991 sitcom with live-in honey Farrah Fawcett, Good Sports, a short-lived series that brought both back to television after they'd moved on to movie careers.
In O'Neal's memory, we present the opener, with guests Lyle Alzado (ex-Learning The Ropes) and Fred Travalena.

I just found the NY Times tribute and it does mention this show.
And on a side note: Fred Travalena died in June 2009, about three days after Farrah Fawcett. As many well remember, Fawcett's death was overshadowed by that of Michael Jackson the same day, but Travalena was mostly ignored. Even Billy Mays (who was the same age asJackson), the Oxi Clean pitchman, received more mentions than Travalena.
Well, the Times is a little more thorough in their reporting, even of obituaries, so thank you for that note, and for writing in.
