On Fury Bobby Diamond played Joey and Fred Mertz played Pete.

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.

Alexander and about 1 block south of NW 36 on the west side of the street.

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]

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.

[Generals64]

On Fury Bobby Diamond played Joey and Fred Mertz played Pete.

If this kidney stone and I weren't fighting right now I could really lay some old shows and trivia on you. CarltonsKeeper will catch on this one and man you better start taking notes....When we were kids he could remember all this stuff.
'78, I know you're a car buff but, Carlton can tell you car stories and types of cars that he either owns now or in the past that will blow you away....

Route 66 was a t.v. show about two young guys driving through American in a '58 Corvette and the escapades they would get into...Cheesy show but a heck of a Corvette.

Spin and Marty was always my favorite...would like to see some of those episodes again....always wanted to live on a dud ranch.....yee-haw...

There was a World WarII weekly show but, I can't remember the name of it right now.....

Duh! Trigger was a Palimino! We were very much into horses when I was
plum (pre-prune).

Okay, smarty pants, what was the name and what type of horse was Dale's?

C'mon! I'll give you 60 seconds to come up with the answer, that way you
cain't use the internet!

Starting... NOW! 1... 2... 3... 4...

a '58 Corvette and the escapades they would get into... Cheesy show but a
heck of a Corvette.

Hey Gen64, I kick my butt every time I drive past NW 67th and N. Portland.
In the early 70's there was this near mint '58 'vette for an astronomical
price. You can't even phathom what these people wanted for that car.

I kid you not, those rip-offs wanted, hold on to your hats, NO they demanded
with no negotiation WHATSOEVER... are you ready? This'll make that
kidney stone pass in 3 seconds... by the way to make matters worse, it was
black with red interior!
