Do you know who the Uncle was on Fury? or, the stage name of the little boy? Hmm just how far back can we go? Doug Loudenback would be a good one on this... On Fury Bobby Diamond played Joey and Fred Mertz played Pete. Prunepicker 03-08-2009, 06:18 PM O.K., who is she and what was her stage name... Who was Captain Kangaroo before he was Captain Kangaroo? Barbara Billingsley was Theodore Cleaver's mom. Captain Kangaroo, Bob Keshan, was the first Clarabel! TV is something I'm pretty good at, until the mid 70's. I think by then all of the actors had died. Prunepicker 03-08-2009, 06:20 PM Hey Ho Ho fans. His house is for sale if anyone is interested. It's on N.

Playhouse 90 Kraft Mystery Theater Westinghouse Theater General Electric Theater Hallmark Theater The Bob Cummings show took place in Joplin Missouri. They often referred to the Conner's Hotel and Shiffendecker park, which were real places. He used the name Bob Collins on the show. I THINK Ann B Davis played Shotsy (Sp?) his secretary or something like that. Gail Storm was My Little Margie. John Baresford (sp?) Tipton was the Millionaire and his lackey was Michael Anthony. Little Roqueford was a cartoon mouse, I think. Those shows were done live. Someone else can get the others. Prunepicker 03-08-2009, 07:32 PM they did E.R. live!! That's right! And it was a disaster. Back in the "Day" actors thought nothing of live TV. It was a normal thing. Yeah, there were goofs, just like a play, but they'd make the best of it with improvisation or simply ignoring the back drop that was on fire. I doubt that most of today's TV actors have what it takes. Today's live theater is a different story.
