I loved her park bench lady with the lethal handbag. Arte Johnson usually played a masher trying to hit on her, and often got his comeuppance on the side of the head with her purse.

I remember back in the '70's, the two voiced a Saturday morning cartoon with his masher character re-imagined as a senile old superhero called out of retirement to deal with the 1970's crime wave. Buzzie played the handbag lady as his long-suffering wife.
