He was funny.

Prayers.

[ColdOne]

R.I.P. I never knew his name, now I do.

I liked “Green Acres” tho never could understand why my Brother-in-Law was just crazy over it.

It seems to me it took the idea that everyone was crazy except Mr. Douglas. That is why his nutty wife blended right in at Hooterville.

I remember he and I were in the unemployment lines together during the 70s in the Hollywood office.

[oh8eleven]

I'll always remember him as Ichabod Mudd - "with two Ds."
RIP ...

[albie]

He was great in “Green Acres”! That whole cast is about gone by now I would imagine.

I liked when Mr. Douglas went to Sam Drucker’s store to buy board games. Drucker tells him he has Cabbage and Monotony. Douglas corrects him that they are Cribbage and Monopoly. Drucker pulls out the boxes that say Cabbage and Monotony.

I’m listening..........

[Mr. K]

That show was a laff-riot

Especially with what i was smoking back in those days

[treetopsandroofs]

Tom Lester (”Eb Dawson”) is still around at a young 73.

[EveningStar]

That's how I remember him too. :)

Listening to what?

Way back in those days you stood in line. Not anymore ... although I have not been unemployed in 21 years. Knock on wood ...

[Lib-Lickers 2]

Frank Cady (aka Sam Drucker) is still alive

[smokingfrog]

"Ralph" is Mary Grace Canfield. Looks like she's still around.

[treetopsandroofs]

His character’s brother, “Ralph” Monroe (Mary Grace Canfield) is still around, too.

[treetopsandroofs]

Didn’t know that, thanks!

I liked him in “When Worlds Collide” — hoping that remake will eventually get made.

My Daughter attended “First Baptist Church Christian School” for grammar school. One day “Eb” stopped by and talked to the class. He was a devoted Christian.

[freedomson]

I thought you were “in the business”.

My misread.

[stylecouncilor]

LOL!
