On November 12, 1995, NBC’s "Mad About You" featured the acting debut of 62-year-old Yoko Ono, who once was universally blamed for the breakup of the Beatles. The show’s star and cocreator Paul Reiser had been coaxing John Lennon’s widow to appear for more than two years.
I remember that episode. Yoko wanted Paul to film the wind and he just couldn't do it. He was so afraid Yoko would be mad at him but all she said was, "It was only an idea." I have always loved Yoko. I quote her often.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I cannot go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know? I hear my being dance from ear to ear. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you? God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there, And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree, but who can tell us how? The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair; I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do To you and me; so take the lively air, And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go.

2 years of coaxing. Why?
I always liked Mad About Yoy. It was the Dick Van Dyke Show of the 90s.
