I love it! that was a great show and Paul Lynde was my favorite. I liked him on bewitched too. Although i didn't appreciate him as much on that show until i was older. Comedic genius! O can still picture Sally (Rosemarie)with the bow in her hair or is that just the old Dick VanDyke?
ReplyDeleteBut who is Charlie Weaver? Don Knotts ...love him too!
They were all so hilarious then - as a kid of course, those jokes sailed way over my head. And some of the jokes Paul Lynde made are doubly funny now - since we now know he was gay...
