After directing stage plays and teaching drama in the 1960s and 1970s, he landed his first opportunity to direct for television in 1976, with an episode of the sitcom
Rhoda, "Rhoda Questions Her Life and Flies to Paris". Since that time, he has directed episodes of several well-known sitcoms including
Benson,
WKRP in Cincinnati,
The Facts of Life,
Family Ties, and ''
Who's the Boss?'', where he directed 117 episodes and was also listed as producer on 51 episodes. Kelada spoke with
DGA Magazine and said that good casting is essential to the success of a comedy, because "you cannot make the actor be funny". He said that where drama is "analytical," comedy is "much more technical. It's about rhythm, timing, pace, and energy." ==Filmography==
