:rasp: Nope.

I will admit this MAY be befoe everyone else's time (including Moses) but it was a radio show that successfully moved to TV early in the history of TV. It was about a Jewish family living in New York. The actor who played the uncle was charged by the/our/your government of being a Commie during what proved to be the Mc Carthy witch hunts of that era.

OK, OK It was a successful transplant from radio to TV titled "The Goldberg's" who lived in a tenement somewhere in NYC. The woman living next door and who's window was next to the Goldberg's window would lean out the window and yell, "Yo-hoo! Mrs. Goldberg."

"...leaning on the doorbell" simply meant someone was ringing the doorbell. I believe the dialogue was supposed to be a translation of the Yiddish spoken by the characters before coming to the U.S.

I was thinking of MASH but you're correct. It could have been any of those.

Spock said that many times to Kirk about space anomalies and Bones about illnesses. Are there others who used such a phrase?

I never watched it but I'll guess "Swiss Family Robinson" or whatever the title was for TV.
