Princess of Tap Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I got to say Charlie Wooster was my favorite Wild West Wagon Train cook-- but number 9 was a real good actor too. #9) Wishbone played by Paul Brinegar, kept the guys on "Rawhide" well-fed.

lavenderblue19 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Miles, don't know why there isnlt more participation considering how easy these photos are. #5. Harriet MacGibbon- she was Mrs. Drysdale, the Clampetts neighbor on the Beverly Hillbilies #6. Is Sid Melton - he was Charlie Halper on make Room for Daddy, he was also Sal, Sophia's husband on the Golden Girls and Alf Monroe on Green Acres 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I purposely made them pretty easy in hopes of getting more people involved. I can only conclude that Lavender, Princess, and I are the only ones on these boards who remember these old shows. Hopefully, someone out there can prove me wrong. We have them all now. Princess got four and Lavender got six so Lavender gets to post next. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaya bat woof woof Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I enjoy reading this threat/post. I was trying to figure out Mrs. Drysdale. I'm trying to remember who Alf was. Loved that Arnold Z. Never got into Andy Griffith but knew who he was. Remember watching Make Room for Daddy (did two different actresses play his wife?).

Sid Melton as Alf Monroe was the painter. He and LOL "Ralph" the female plumber. they use to show up together, handypeople. Yes Jean Hagen ( Singin In the Rain, Jean Hagen) was Danny's first wife, they killed her off and Marjorie Lord became his 2nd wife after a courtship that was played out on the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaya bat woof woof Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I remembered Marjorie Lord (and Alf and Ralph) but I never knew the multitalented Jean Hagen was his first wife. Jean Hagen is one of the best things about Singin in the Rain; great in noir films and very funny as the other woman in Adam's Rib. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean left the show after the first few seasons. danny wanted a more glamourous look for his wife and couldnlt stand Jean thought she looked sloppy. He didnlt want her as the wife in the first place. He then had her character killed off so she couldn;lt return and Marjorie Lord became his 2nd wife on the show after they courted on the show. that's what I've read 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad, because it's a fun thread and takes knowledge and some research if the answer isn't obvious, Very disappointing. Wish some of our old posters were back and there weren't so many oif these list type threads. next A classic tv show that had very good ratinmgs was cancelled anyway after just one season and it had a great theme song to boot that's considered a classic.TV show ? Extra bonus points for nthe reason the show was cancelled and the co-star of both tv shows ????? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only little effort, but with no interactivity with others. Just think up three, four, five, six - word titles all day long. It's certainly a good way to bolster post count (for those who are obsessed with that). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaya bat woof woof Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I've stopped posting in some of the number of word titles. I enjoy the retro quizzes because I learn something. Would like to see what answer is. Thought it might be the show with Dick Van Dyke's brother but it was a ratings and critical disaster. It takes me too long to manipulate my computer to run pictures, but I remember that a lot of many actors and actresses became pitchmen and women. I had to look up who played Josephine the Plumber the other day (Jane Withers). I remember several others, including one actress who was eventually considered an "abomination" by the man who took over P&G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavenderblue19 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 One of the co-stars of the tv show was a co-star on another tv show a few years later. That show was a hit and lasted 4 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Both shows involved crime, although one was more noirish, the other was more of an adventure show and combined a few genres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Could it be Ross Martin? He was a co-star on "Mr. Lucky", which lasted one season, and later on "The Wild, Wild West". "Mr. Lucky" was cancelled because the sponsor pulled out and the network was unable to find another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct Miles. Mr. Lucky was cancelled after 1 season despite very high ratings! The beautiful theme song is a standard still used after all these years. Ross Martin was the actor in both Mr. Lucky and The Wild Wild West. Good work, it's your thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaya bat woof woof Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Ross Martin was a good actor. One of the stations we get runs Wild West. Ross Martin was great in The Great Race and Experiment in Terror. I have to check out Mr. Lucky (and it's theme song - remember song to WW West).

Don't know how old you are but the theme song for Mr. Lucky has been played in every elevator, everywhere for decades lol. Yes, it's Henry Mancini and it's a lovely piece of music.

MilesArcher Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Thanks, Lavender. From the initial clues I was thinking of Robert Conrad, who was in "Hawaiian Eye" and "The Wild, Wild West", but "Hawaiian Eye" ran more than one season, so I forgot about "The Wild, Wild West" until the last clue came up. Now, many movies have been adapted as TV series. In another series that ran for only one season, Buddy Ebsen played a role that had been played in a movie by a three time Oscar winning actor. However, the actor did not win for that movie. Can you name the TV series and the name of the character? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaya bat woof woof Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Was it Walter Brennan, character was Hunk Marriner, and both the TV Series and movie were Northwest Passage? I googled if this is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 You are correct, Chaya. Buddy Ebsen did the series in the late 1950's, a few years before "The Beverly Hillbillies" made him a household name. Walter Brennan had played the role in the 1940 movie. Good work, Chaya. You get to post the next question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peebs Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I'd like to try one. In the Elvis concert film That's the Way It Is (1970) what classic movie actor was shown in the audience before the show and backstage after the concert speaking with Elvis? This major actor had retired by then with his last movie in 1966. He received an Honorary Oscar in 1970 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
