I played him many times in the stiffs.com dead pool, but he never croaked for me when I had him and I finally gave up on him. He will be missed......Jake  RIP, Grampa. |

Pretty cool old guy - can't believe he made it that long! Definitely a beloved icon!
Great pic Jake - did you meet him?

No, I never met him, I just swiped that pic off the internet. But I did meet "The Skipper" from Gilligan's Island once. He even bought me a beer!......Jake
P.S. - great avatar!!

Somewhere around here I've got an ancient pic of me with Bernie Kopell who was Doctor Adam Bricker on the Love Boat, and another one with Bob Villa. I'll have to make a point of looking for that one of these days.

I actually thought he had already passed on. That was a great show. Jake i met him and spent some time talking to Alan Hale also. I'm trying to remember if it was him that tried to show me a card trick...

Not so obscure -- it's a reference to Car 54 Where Are You? ... the *1st* TV show where he co - starred with Fred Gwynne (I think he was the police sargeant to whom Toody & Muldune reported?) ... that one was the warm - up for The Munsters ...

I always preferred tha Addams Family to the Munsters. Morticia was just too hot to ignore, and one on one I would take Fester over Granpa Munster for creating havoc.

THANKS!!
I figured until I think of something more original I'd take this one and you would not be the only LOTR corner in the market.
I always loved Arwen in the books anyway and then they brought her to life - didn't see enough of her in the movie though.
PS - I used to love watching BOTH The Addams Family and the Munsters! They both had good casts - only in a different way.
