There was a situation comedy about in the mid-1970's called 'Chico and the Man'. This was a show where a young Chicano and an old man lived and worked in a garage. The young Chicano lived in a van parked in the back and the old man lived upstairs. This show starred Freddie Prinz and Jack Albertson as Chico and the Man. This was a show even back then that tried to describe society and solve various problems and issues. The first episode if I remember was mainly helping Chico find a job and a place to live, since Chico was a mechanic looking for a job and the old man did need help. Before the show went off the air and the guy who played Chico died in real they tried to replace him with a kid to try and help the old cope with losing a friend and partner. For the mid-1970's this was a funny show even when they covered a few serious issues of the time.

    This one makes me sad to think about Freddy Prinze. Choose to be kind because you never know what suffering someone is enduring.
