I was listening to the Rush Limbaugh Show today and heard Rush start talking about last night's Crossfire Show.
I was only half way paying attention when he mentioned a question by Chatsworth Osborne, Jr..
Well I had to think a minute because I knew that name from someplace and then all of a sudden it came to me that it was a character on the old Dobie Gillis show and was played by a very fine character actor named Stephen Franken.
The it hit me that Rush was using that moniker for our old friend Tucker Carlson. Well that fit could not be better. Tucker really has a number of the charactistics of that old Dobie Gillis character and I have say I laughed until I fell on the floor.
That was almost as much fun as when Rush rechristened Wesley Clark into General Ashley Wilkes from "Gone With The Wind". That also was just perfect.
Remember Denver was also in a short-lived sitcom called "The Good Guys." Also an even shorter-lived one called "Dusty's Trail." I agree, Maynard was the highlight of the show. The only recurring beatnik in a series at the time, if memory serves.
Work!
Denver received his draft notice during the first year into the show but was rejected due to a neck injury. So Denver returned to the show
I remember Dobie Gillis and Maynard, but not Chatsworth at all. I was too young I suppose! :-0
As a college textbook rep in the seventies, we used that line of miles wide but only inches deep. Learned it from our District Manager, who was a bit deeper and miles wider, mentally.
Yes I know but Rush gave him a promotion.

and the time travel episode from DS9:
Troubles and Tribble-ations
Considering the name of the star, that title would take on a whole other meaning today. And it would have to play on the BRAVO channel.
Daryl Hickman was a serious movie actor. I don't remember him doing any TV.
I thought the G stood for Walter?
Jeez. "Splendor in the Grass." To think I saw that film last night on cable and forgot that Beatty had made it in '62. Thanks.
According to the timeline, he did some work on "Dobie". I didn't remember that at all.
Nevermind my last post. I read more of the thread and I guess somebody else remembers the G stood for Walter as well.
He was in The Americans, a Civil War series, for a few months in 1961.
I don't either. They did look an awful lot alike.
I do remember that after "Dobie", Dwayne did a pilot called "Hello Teacher" that was never picked up.
My sister was a Darryl fan at the time and he sent her an autographed picture of himself in a Civil War uniform. I think the story line was he was in the Union Army and his brother was a Confederate.
I consider Carlson 'The Herbie Stempel of CNN' - Stempel is the famous tv gameshow loser who cried foul when he took a dive back in the 50s. :-)
"One day I gotta kill that boy"........hehehehe
I gotta kill that boy. I just gotta
