Hi Gang, I've been enjoying the broadcasts of the great "Burns and Allen Show" lately, and I've been delighted to see Howard McNear appear on several of them. In several episodes, he has a recurring role of Mr. Jansen, a widowed plumber with four teenage daughters. One episode in particular, "The Plumber's Union" (1957), is strikingly similar to another episode..."Floyd, the Gay Deceiver", in that some of the facts about Mr. Jansen are 'stretched' in order to attract a female. The only thing that Mr. Jansen didn't do was shout "Miserable, deceitful WRETCH!'.
Here's a plot synopsis from imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0587142/plotsummary Gracie finds out that Mr. Jansen, a widowed plumber with four teenage daughters, is looking for a wife. She volunteers to help out by placing an ad for him in the "Personals" column, but in her zeal to help Mr. Jansen, she "stretches" the truth a bit. Complications ensue. Over and Under, Clyde "Barn" _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
