There must have also been some cable channel rerunning When Things Were Rotten at one point too - probably TVLand.  I remember seeing the reruns of that for a while in the late '90s.

I always thought he said, "Yakht" -- as in he saw the word "Yacht" and pronounced it as a person who had never seen it before in print, and was making his best effort to say it how it looked on paper.
