the Vietnam War when her family lets Mac stay at their home while injured. Quon Le is naïve about America and its customs, but is loving and devoted to Mac. Mac originally marries her to keep her in the country, claiming he is not in love with her, but that quickly changes. She does not understand the concept of "buy now, pay later" but becomes more financially responsible after opening a restaurant in season 3. In season 4, moments after being sworn in as an American citizen, Quon Le gives birth to daughter Renee Flicka Robinson, who is named after Quon Le's favorite television show as a child, My Friend Flicka. John Astin, as Buddy Ryan (seasons 3–9), Harry's eccentric stepfather and a former patient in a psychiatric hospital. His catchphrase is the capper to stories involving his hospital stay or past strange behavior: "...but I'm feeling much better now," accompanied by a huge leering grin. He is later revealed to be Harry's biological father, admitting he has kept it a secret for fear that the truth would affect Harry's judicial carrer. Mel Tormé, as himself, is almost fanatically admired by Judge Stone. The two periodically cross paths, but Tormé tends to become irritated with Harry due to the latter's unintended causation of misfortune. Tormé played Harry's guardian angel in a season 8 episode modeled after the film It's A Wonderful Life, where the angel shows Harry how his colleagues could have ended up had he never become a judge.

Just before his death, Phil is revealed as actually extremely wealthy, but chose to live among the poor (a former stockbroker suffering from Howard Hughes syndrome). The show suggests the New York Harmonic Orchestra was known as the "PHILharmonic Orchestra" because Phil is one of its greatest patrons. Utay later played Phil's evil twin brother Will, who befriends Dan to steal all of the Phil Foundation's money. Will later returns what he had stolen along with additional cash from successful investing, and devoted the rest of his life to doing good deeds on Dan's behalf. Brent Spiner and Annie O'Donnell as Bob and June Wheeler, a pair of down-on-their-luck stereotypical Appalachian yokels; although, they admit they are Yugoslavian, but they continue to speak the same way. Bob is a
