Those were the days.
RIP
I liked him. Never watched Mama’s Family but saw a some.
I watched F Troop as a kid. Liked Larry Storch.
Mayberry RFD was okay I guess.
I was just thinking about him the other day...
He and Carol Burnett were great together. He guested often on her variety show, which gave him a chance to show how good a song-and-dance man he was. An underrated talent, for sure.
Ken was on shows I haven’t thought about in decades.
He acted on Hazel, which starred actress Shirley Booth.
Hazel is going way back, because I recall when my family watched it at night, the show following Hazel was the Danny Thomas Show. We are talking TV ICE Age here! They were all fun, family friendly shows.
I expect Tim Conway will be going the same way very soon.
Tim will be having a birthday soon, Dec. 15th. Born in 1933.
Trivia: 1933 is three years after Thomas Edison died.
God Bless him and RIP. He seemed so very nice and likable. Thanks to a METV and a few other stations, I get to watching things I missed or haven’t thought of in ages. Mama’s family is something I watch when I can. Just watched a few tonight. And now this sad news. May he be with our Heavenly Father proving lots of laughs and love to all.
Sgt. Nimoy. I did not know that.

Best thing about Mama’s Family was Judy Landers...
Ken used to tell a story that’s a good lesson in surviving in Hollywood. He had a small house in the valley, and when he got his first big hit role, he wanted to sell it and use the proceeds to buy a place in a swanky neighborhood. His business manager convinced him to hold on to it and find another way to make the move. He did, and at slow times during his career, moved back into it. He could turn down stuff he hated without becoming homeless.
He had his “flavor of the month” periods, but never lived like he thought it would last forever.
Those were the days.
His ex-wife, Jackie Joseph who reported his death, played the part of Ramona in the Andy Griffith show. That’s the one where Andy tries to find a girl for Ernrst T Bass. “How do you do Mrs. Wiiiiley?”
That was a cute ending with the two of them frolicking around the neighborhood like that.
Two indians attack, ten dollar.
For twenty dollar, one indian bite dust!
Ken Berry seemed really likeable in and off the screen. Sad to hear... RIP.
Fascinating, Captain.
Who remembers this one, lol (Herbie Rides Again)? I even ordered the novel based on the movie through the Scholastic Book Club at school.
The first one or two seasons of "Mama's Family" was the better era for that show.Life seemed so much more sane and wholesome then. Our culture has lost so much in the past 50 years. Our decline is horrendous.
RIP sir, and thanks for your service.
First George H.W., and now Ken Berry. Who will be the third? My money is on Keith Richards. Wait, what am I saying? That’s impossible.
RIP Ken and prayers to his family. He seemed to be a good guy.
