1. "Flipper" (1964) TV series (executive in charge of production) (unknown episodes)

It's unfortunate the tv star was so emasculated by the dolphin. I really don't think she did it on porpoise.

"WHERE ARE THE BOYS, FLIPPER? THANKS, FLIPPER! CUT! PRINT!"

"Why don't we wear real clothes like other kids? Why don't we go to school?
Why don't we have the kind of problems we have to talk over with our father?
Why is it that any time we do have a problem, we take it to the bloody dolphin?"

[Old Flat Toad]

Chuck Connors did Shakespear? (heads off to imdb)

He thinks he has it rough? He should be happy he wasn't cast as a scientist:

If there’s going to be a character portrayed as a bumbling idiot or a clueless moron, it has to be a heterosexual white male. To portray anyone else in such a negative way would be cause for protests and pickets and boycotts.

It sucks, but that seems to be the truth.

On a separate but related note, can you imagine if the Geico cavemen were played by black actors??? I can’t even imagine the uproar over it.

[Mr. Silverback]

That was hilarious!

[Mr. Silverback]

That was hilarious!

Why don't they wear real clothes like other kids?
Why don't they go to school?
Why don't they have the kind of problems they have to talk over with me, their father?
Why is it that any time they do have a problem, they take it to the bloody dolphin?

Probably for the same reason they don't have a TV series about my everyday family life. It's just not good TV.

The guy probably went to the same therapist as some of the leads in “Lassie”...
