Very sad news about Gavin Macleod. Fantastic in all of his acting roles. Have a look at The Very Old Antique from Season 1 of Petticoat Junction. "Jubal" is brilliant (once again) in the role as Mr. Waterhouse, the railway executive interested in buying the Cannonball. As is Charles Lane. (Mr

Yes, "Ernest T" could look and sound "normal" as has been recorded by those on the Digest. He also did so many voices on The Flintstones. In the commentary of the "Anne Margrock" episode the commentator states that that particular voice was "Howie sounding like himself." He also mentions May

Eleven years on February 24 that our beloved Barney passed on. Saw the clip from 1963 with Andy, Danny Thomas, Lucille Ball, Jack Benny, Phil Silvers and Don as "the sponsor." Doesn't get any better. R.I.P. Nick in Ontario Canada Sent from my iPad _

On August 31, younger brother turned 57. So nice to be with Mom, Grandma, siblings, grandkids, nephews and nieces celebrating with dinner, cake and gifts. Great to all be together. We celebrated at his place in north central Ontario. ( about an hour south of Algonquin Park ) After, we all wa

Bobby was also on Leave It To Beaver. He was one of Wally's classmates who was giving a substitute teacher a run for her money. But in a cowardly fashion as teachers ( myself included) have seen many times. But, he was the best as Evan with the eggs. Nick in Canada Sent from my iPad

I loved reading about the dress. I heartily agree about the shabbiness in public today. I have been a high school music teacher for 34 years. Every school day I am very happy to say that I have worn a tie. The first week it is a suit and then coordinates. Winter time, a sweater accompany m

William Lanteau played that small but great role of Charlie the Mailman in On Golden Pond from 1981 -1982. (you broke the screen door, Charlie.) Who can forget that powerful message about life? Bravo to Jane for buying the rights to the play with her Dad in mind. Henry Fonda's last movie and

In addition to the judo episode, Rance Howard also wrote the "Goggles Paesano" episode with Fred "driving like someone coming home on the freeway." Two great episodes. Prayers and sympathy to the family and for the soul of the 12 year old boy. What a terrible tragedy. Being a high school tea

Just to expand a little on what Ken said so nicely about Andy and the musical instruments. Andy, if I am recalling correctly, was a music and religion major at a Moravian university (as we say in Canada; college as is said more commonly south of the 49th) He was a tuba and trombone major. In

That Sanka commercial has got to be one of the best that they did. Sheldon was an incredible person in show biz. Producer, director, biographer; I'm probably leaving something out. He was great in It's A Wonderful Life. Kind while George was born and mean when "not born." Nice to see him in
