USA Today referred to him as "TV's Rerun." So that got me thinking. Who else could be referred to as "TV's ..." ? It would have to be someone who is know for a singular role on the tube. Kim Fields comes to mind ("TV's Tootie"), as does Herve Villechaize ("TV's Tattoo") although he's already dead, and he was in Man With the Golden Gun and some other stuff, so he doesn't really count.   gozerbrown Citizen Username: Gozerbrown Post Number: 230 Registered: 3-2002 Posted on Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 9:29 am:        "TV's Ponch"...Erik Estrada's character in CHiPs. Or "TV's Webster"   Yossarian Citizen Username: Yossarian Post Number: 46 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 9:38 am:        "TV's Webster" is a good one. There's also "TV's Erkle." Both should make the list.   Nohero Citizen Username: Nohero Post Number: 2300 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 9:43 am:        Jerry Mathers ("TV's Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver"). Barbara Eden ("TV's Jeannie"). The entire Brady Bunch. Half of the California Gubernatorial Recall candidates.   marken Citizen Username: Marken Post Number: 55 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 10:46 am:        George Wendt: Norm Pam Dawber: Mindy Jean Stapleton: Edith Alan Hale: The Skipper Ron Palillo: Horshack Ms. Eddie Van Halen: Barbara (one day at a time) Dick Clark : Himself   Ignatius J Citizen Username: Ignatius_j Post Number: 93 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 2:46 pm:        Radar   buzzsaw Citizen Username: Buzzsaw Post Number: 1090 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 2:50 pm:        Match Game PM's Charles Nelson Riely !!!!

Don't see many of them anymore!   1-2many Citizen Username: Wbg69 Post Number: 481 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, October 24, 2003 - 9:36 am:        yeah, Captain Stubing! and Isaac: "aaaaay!" and Julie, the Cruise Director. and of course we can't forget Gopher! but then there's also: Hot Lips Houlihan. Flo. Kramer. Potsy. and, then there's Maude.   Yossarian Citizen Username: Yossarian Post Number: 50 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Friday, October 24, 2003 - 9:49 am:        these are great. i think my favorite is TV's Doogie Howser. Perfect! I don't know about TV's Gopher, though. Isn't Fred Grandy a senator or congressman now?   1-2many Citizen Username: Wbg69 Post Number: 483 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, October 24, 2003 - 9:53 am:        I think you might be right; senator status would disqualify him. same goes for TV's Cooter (wasn't that the name of the Duke Boys' mechanic)? but what about Bo and Luke Duke? I think Luke went on to an attempted music career, but can he really escape this heritage?   buzzsaw Citizen Username: Buzzsaw Post Number: 1092 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Friday, October 24, 2003 - 10:04 am:        Drunken Fred from I love lucy. There is nothing like being.   Yossarian Citizen Username: Yossarian Post Number: 52 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Friday, October 24, 2003 - 10:10 am:        Bo and Luke Duke are good, as is Radar, but with those you'd probably have to say "Bo and Luke Duke from TV's Dukes of Hazard," and "Radar from TV's MASH."   1-2many Citizen Username: Wbg69 Post Number: 487 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, October 24, 2003 - 10:50 am:        what?!? there are OTHER Bo Dukes and/or Luke Dukes? on this one I have to disagree!   Yossarian Citizen Username: Yossarian Post Number: 53 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Friday, October 24, 2003 - 10:56 am:        it's not that there are other Bos and Lukes. I'm just not sure the show is remembered as well as some of the others mentioned. Then again, I suggested Erkle and I don't even know the name of the show that character was on. OK. The Dukes are in. BTW, what ever happened to Daisy? She was the reason I watched that show.   1-2many Citizen Username: Wbg69 Post Number: 488 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, October 24, 2003 - 11:21 am:        Catherine Bach. I believe she was in info-mercials, or QVC. but, I'll have to ask my husband to know for sure. he has a peculiar knack for knowing well-endowed female stars' names and bios.
