MilesArcher Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 That's correct, Lawrence. Hopalong Cassidy was the main character in a series of novels by Clarence Mulford. The "Hopalong Cassidy" show brought William Boyd a whole new generation of fans. I believe that the series is shown on COZI-TV. By the way, the theme song was written by Nacio Herb Brown, who wrote many movie songs with Arthur Freed for MGM musicals. Lawrence, your next.

LawrenceA Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 This rugged-looking actor with a terrific speaking voice starred in 2 TV series in the 1950's. One show was the first of its kind, the other was a huge success and featured a theme song beloved by most boomers. Name this actor, and the two shows referenced above.

My first guess would be Paladin, Paladin where do you roam? Paladin, Paladin so far from h-o-m-e. That of course would be Richard Boone. Medic was the 1st show in the '50's and Have Gum Hill Travel would be the series with the theme song we love. Just watched some episides last week ??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavenderblue19 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Actor had a major role in a film while also appearing as a regular in a major role in a tv series. In both the film and the tv show he plays the same type of role. Both the film and the tv show were in the 1960's. Actor, Film, TV Show ???

lavenderblue19 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 In the film he was in the year before with the same actress, they are relatives, in the film that he plays the similar type of role( again with this actress) as his tv series role, the actress and this actor will very likely become relatives.

lavenderblue19 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 The first film he was in with the same actress, it's a famous musical. The 2nd film they were in together that is similar to the role he played on the tv series is a touching comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I think the last clue cinched it for me. I think it's Ronny Howard (now Ron Howard). While appearing as Opie on "The Andy Griffith Show", he played the little brother of Shirley Jones in "The Music Man". The next year, in "The Courtship Of Eddie's Father", Shirley played a prospective wife for his father, played by Glenn Ford. Of course, he won his Oscars years later for directing and producing.

lavenderblue19 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 You got it Miles What's interesting is that in both The Andy Griffith Show and in the film The Courtship of Eddie's Father, Ron plays the son of a widower, an important point in both the tv show and the film. Both his brother Clint Howard and his father Rance Howard appeared in some episodes of The Andy Griffth Show. Shirley Jones and Ron were brother and sister in The Music Man and we are lead to believe that in Eddie's Father, Shirley's character will become Ron's characters step mom at some point. Ron Howard has has an amazing career. Thanks Miles for sticking with it, and the Great photos,Good work, your thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Thanks, Lav. It was a great question and you didn't give it away by saying "child actor" in any of the clues. I wasn't thinking of any child actors until the last clue. I know it can get frustrating when you give clue after clue and nobody gets it, but in this case I'm kind of glad that you did. Now, speaking of young performers. a couple of former mouseketeers worked together in an episode of a sixties TV series. In the episode, one of them sang a song to the other. Can you name the two of them and the show? Bonus points if you can name the song. It was not a Disney show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Correct again, Lavender. It was a 1962 episode titled "Young Man's Fancy". Here is the song: Good job, Lavender. It's your turn again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Thanks Miles, I've seen that episodes a few times What 2 things do Family Affair, My Three Sons and The Brady Bunch have in common ( besides being sit-coms) ??? edited by me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess of Tap Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Thanks Miles, I've seen that episodes a few times What 2 things do Family Affair, My Three Sons and The Brady Bunch have in common ( besides being sit-coms) ??? edited by me I am a big fan of My Three Sons. I watched it all the way through-- 1960 - 1972. Family Affair was too sugary for me, but they had some very good actors on there. As for The Brady Bunch, I watched it because there wasn't much else on anymore at the time that was reminiscent of the classic sitcoms, but it certainly is a mediocre imitation. But it had a couple of good actors on there. So it's only by snatching bits of pieces of those last two on ME-TV that I noticed that Frank DeVol wrote themes for those last two. I was always so impressed with DeVol's theme for My Three Sons because it sounded like how you would imagine that Fred MacMurray would play the saxophone.

He was a composer, arranger and an actor. He's composed so many theme songs for tv and films and I've always been impressed by him. You didn't give the 2nd thing that the 2 shows had in common, I'll repost that as a question another time. However, it's the DeVol part that was important, so good work.

Lav, did you have something else in mind? Yes, there is something else, but you need to think about the storylines to answer that part of the question. As I said though, DeVol was really the important part and the other part has nothing to do with DeVol or the production of the shows.

Princess of Tap Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 This man was a well-known satirist-humorist, who started on radio and then went on to television. He appeared in movies and on television as an actor, but his main claim to fame was as a panelist for one of television's favorite classic TV quiz shows. During the McCarthy period, he was briefly Blacklisted. When you identify this man, can you also name the famous quiz show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
