About Mac

a Vietnam War veteran. Easy going and pragmatic, he was probably the most "normal" character. He had a good sense of humor, and was a loyal friend to his coworkers. He always wore a cardigan sweater, plaid shirt, and a knit tie (Dan stated in his will that Mac would get all his suits, so "he would stop wearing those God-awful sweaters"). His catchphrase was the lament "It was my favorite sweater!" after one of his garish cardigans got ruined. If he witnessed a problem, his usual first words were "Oh, my dear Lord!"

In the episode "Take My Wife, Please" in Season 2, Mac is reunited with Quon Le Duc, a refugee woman from Vietnam (where she met Mac as a teen during his service in the Vietnam War and her family let Mac stay at their home while injured) who is trying to become a naturalized American citizen, and was somewhat naive about America and its customs, but was loving and very devoted to him.

Not wanting her to be deported, Mac married her to keep her in the country, but, after reaizing that they were falling in love with each other, decided to keep the marriage intact; the couple would soon have a daughter, Renee Flicka Robinson.
