I hadn't thought about Henry Winkler in years, but in the past two weeks I've seen him or his name in about five different contexts.<\/p>\n

I watched a few episodes of MacGyver<\/cite> a couple weeks ago. On the DVD, there were previews for other TV shows coming to DVD: specifically Laverne & Shirley<\/cite> and Happy Days<\/cite>. So Winkler appeared in those. And then I was surprised to discover that Winkler was one of the executive producers of MacGyver<\/cite>.<\/p>\n

It's possible that those two items were related, so that's not necessarily a coincidence. But then a day or two later, on a mailing list, someone mentioned Winkler in passing as an example of a celebrity who might be in the audience of a baseball game.<\/p>\n

Then the other day I happened across the Ron Howard\/Andy Griffith\/Henry Winkler<\/a> vote-for-Obama video.<\/p>\n

And then tonight I turned on the TV to watch something on TiVo, and broadcast TV came on before I could switch to TiVo, and NUMB3RS<\/cite> (which I've never seen) was on. Guest starring, you guessed it, Henry Winkler.<\/p>\n

So he suddenly seems to be ubiquitous, at least in my life. (Tomorrow I expect to see him in the park.) Is he staging some kind of a comeback, or is he following me around, or is this all just coincidence?<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
