Pickles by Brian Crane for January 27, 2020

Raymond Burr?

Buddy Ebsen? Alan Hale, Jr.? Don Knotts?

Garry Moore, Jackie Gleason, Arthur Godfrey, Soupy Sales?

The choices are endless. Without some more information from,Earl.

Ah, what memories.

Your forgot Imagene Coco, I know Earl said ‘guy’, but you can’t have Sid Ceasar without Imagene Coco. George Burns with without Gracie Allen…….

James Arness?

Andy Griffith.

Jack Benny? Dean Martin? Jackie Gleason? Groucho Marx?

Start with the guy who was in the most shows and work your way down from there: Robert Urich? Tim Conway?

Earl tis your brain fart you figure it out ;-)

Hugh Beaumont. That’s who he learned all his parenting skills from.

Ed Sullivan?

Her memory isn’t that good? At least she named some actors, more than you did, Earl!

Those are all great guesses, but it’s Art Carney.

believe it or not, I’ve had conversations like that

Ernie Kovacks! (Who remembers him, with Edie Adams)?

Richard Boone as Paladin?

Uncle Floyd!

It’s on the tip of my tongue,……wait for it…….it’s coming……awwww, just lost it……

Clarabelle?

James Garner? Dennis Weaver? Lorne Greene? Jack Lord?

Opal needs to prod Earl’s memory (Was the show comedy? Western? Talent?) unless she plans to stay in his “rut” all day!

Fess Parker and Buddy Epsen.

Yes, that one, why’d you ask?

Been there, doing it.

Bozo

Ben Turpin? Fatty Arbuckle? Elmo Lincoln??

Hopalong Cassidy? Gabby Hayes?

Roy Rogers? Gene Autry? Rin Tin Tin?

Chuck Connors?

She has my memory, lol!

Perry Como, Martin and Lewis, Betty White (Life With Elizabeth), Lassie, Dina Shore, Joan Davis (I Married Joan), Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, the Twilight Zone, etc.

A lot of really good 50’s TV there:

The Red Skelton Show

McHale’s Navy

The Rifleman

The Twilight Zone

Your Show of Shows

Clayton Moore? Jay Silverheels?

his memory isn’t very good either if he can’t remember the guy in the show that he watched all the time.

Danny Thomas, Robert Young, Ken Curtis, Burt Reynolds, Milburn Stone…

If there was lots of music and dancing…Lawrence Welk? :-)

….after Opal guesses for four hours, Earl suddenly remembers it was actually an actor on a radio show.

Some old guy with an accent kept saying, “Turn off the bubble machine.”

Earl is extremely tolerant of Opal’s shortcomings.

Exactly how I seek help from my movie star knowledge base wife!

I knew I’d find more wonderful names here in the Comments. No one has said Milton Berle yet. Good memories, folks!

Her memory is just fine, her mind reading not so much.

It’s Richard Boone, defiantly.

Just dial in to MeTV or Antenna TV, he’ll come on eventually.

Earl, you are not good at making friends and influencing people, are you?

Picklers, you did not disappoint today!

What wonderful memories.

Dang, we are a bunch of old folks! Nobody under 40 has heard of any of these people!

Richard Simmons (notTHAT one) as Sgt Preston of the Yukon!

uh-oh. I feel a punch in the snoot coming on.
