Watching "Dick Van Dyke" last night, the star of the episode was one of my favorite TAGS alumni - Denver Pyle. He played Rob Petrie's Uncle George and was great in a very funny role. The episode was filmed in 1963, the same year that Briscoe Darling made his first TAGS appearance. I thought it was interesting that "Uncle George" was supposed to be much older than the young-looking Rob, and he looked it - but in reality Denver Pyle was only 5 years older than Dick Van Dyke.
Another interesting fact from that episode: the guy who played Sally's boyfriend, Herman, was Bill Idelson. If that name seems familiar, it's because he was also a writer who wrote about a dozen TAGS episodes (and the Uncle George episode he appeared in on "Dick Van Dyke"). JOE from G.I. P.S. - Holland, if you adjust for inflation, that $4 head of lettuce would cost about $32 today! _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
