I guess you dont want to hear the true story behind My Three Sons. Let's just say that Uncle Charlie was initiating "rhythmic slapping" long before Sandusky was a part of PSU

Good one HF, I always wondered what that foot tapping meant. Uncle Charlie was well ahead of his time I guess. Image

I'm no fan of William Demerest. He does not pass the smell test. As a kid I instinctively knew that he, Red Skelton, and Aunt Bea were all no good at heart.

But come now, men. Hugh Beaumont is a national treasure, along with Barbara Billingsley, Tony Dow, and Jerry Mathers, as The Beaver.

At last year's MANC (as an homage to the OP I should leave it at that, but I won't. It's the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention) Dow and Mathers short-sheeted Billy Mummy's, er, I mean Johnny Whitaker's bed. I tried to talk them into going Full Metal Jacket on that sorry prick, but, ever the gentlemen, they declined (true story).

BTW, both Wally and The Beaver became happy, well-adjusted, successful adults. Unlike those misfits from Family Affair. Uncle Bill, along with Buffy, committed suicide. (Why, oh why, could it not have been Johnny Whitaker?) Jodie's real claim to fame is that he begat the phrase "beat him like a red-headed stepchild." His drug and alcohol abuse are legendary. And Cissy? That broad was too stupid to even know how to spell her name. She looks alright in a cape and tights, though...

Is it just me, or does Eyal Lalo look just like the demon spawn of Johnny Whitaker and Billy Mummy?

Aunt Bea was played by Frances Bavier. The Feds had her in witness protection after testifying against her boyfriend Michael "The Instigator" Morroni. Morroni was a small time gangster in Mount Pilot and since he was by himself and in a smaller town he was only successful in encouraging the crimes of others.

Her actual photo prior to the show (truly Frances Bavier)

Image

The Feds agreed to allow her to do the show but required extensive alteration of her features.

Image

CBS was fine with the required changes and chose to recast her as Aunt Bee (she was originally cast to play Trixie, Mayberry's only Courtesan ). These changes were not popular with the rest of the cast especially this guy.

Image

Floyd Lawson (Floyd the Barber) was originally cast as Floyd The Pimp. CBS was already having issues with him and his cocaine addiction but the producers thought it would be funny to have him stay.

Don't get me started on Victor Buono. Noted portrayer of villains King Tut on Batman and Melanthose Osiris Moon on The Untouchables, Buono was in fact an unreconstructed Fascisti, secret Grand Master of the Glendale lodge of the Knights Templar and an early lover of both Anna Magnani and Dorothy Mcguire. His life was tragically cut short in 1967 when he was trampled by elephants on the set of Circus Boy. This "accident" caused the cancellation of the show, which is probably for the best as he was (rumor had it) about to be indicted for corruption of a minor - said minor being no less than Circus Boy child star Kurt Russell - which would have been a fatal blow to Russell's burgeoning carreer. Hollywood legend has it that Russell's later character "Snake" Pliskin was named after Buono's male member. Buono left behind him no less than 9 illegitimate children and what was, at the time of his death, the world's most comprehensive collection of the works of Jasper Johns.

I was going to say welcome, but if you can't take a little hazing, your time here is not likely to be enjoyable.
We called another exterminator to take care of the rat problem in the basement. This one hasn't come out either.

Keith?? Who the fuck's Keith? Brian Keith? Very few people know that he got his start in show-biz doing Argentine scat porn.


Nah, probably Keith Carradine. He did more wild west stuff than scat and was perfect as Wild Bill Hickock in Deadwood. I think mika is stretching things to be claim Keith would have sold him his Aegir though. Those CD2's were a limited edition watch with an awesome Japanese-inspired movement and not likely to be parted with lightly or just to any old schmoe.

If its all true than perhaps mika is really some big kahuna who is hiding his true light under a bushel with the Lords?
