I was listening to the Rush Limbaugh Show today and heard Rush start talking about last night's Crossfire Show.
I was only half way paying attention when he mentioned a question by Chatsworth Osborne, Jr..
Well I had to think a minute because I knew that name from someplace and then all of a sudden it came to me that it was a character on the old Dobie Gillis show and was played by a very fine character actor named Stephen Franken.
The it hit me that Rush was using that moniker for our old friend Tucker Carlson. Well that fit could not be better. Tucker really has a number of the charactistics of that old Dobie Gillis character and I have say I laughed until I fell on the floor.
That was almost as much fun as when Rush rechristened Wesley Clark into General Ashley Wilkes from "Gone With The Wind". That also was just perfect.
The only place in town to get your groceries. Seems like the meat locker played a prominent role, too. Wait a second -- Richard Kimball -- I remember you -- you're a Quinn Martin Production!!
Bobby Diamond - Duncan 'Dunky' Gillis
Ooohh I remember Bobby Diamond! He was Joey in the tv show "FURY"; in the late '50's... I think. Man; that was a great TV show.. along with "MY FRIEND FLICKA" and "THE ROY ROGERS SHOW"; THE HOPALONG CASSIDY SHOW" and a whole lot of others.... They just DON'T make tv shows for kids like we watched in the '50's anymore~!
