The man behind the curtain, the one that pulls the strings. He is in control, he is --the Big Honcho. There are mucky-mucks, but he is the muckiest. People say he grew up on the mean streets, attended the school of hard knocks, always ready to rock. You can have your Emperor, Morning Mayor, Early Birds and Morning Zoo.

There was an issue with the spelling of Bob Hardwick’s last name here on the blog a few months ago. Corrections were made, but then a glitch in the system undid that fix and the name was misspelled again. This required hours to delete the letter “e” at the end of Hardwick.
Now, I find that the thought was planted in my brain decades ago by the Seattle P-I listings.
Mystery solved. I thought maybe I was getting senile.
Coming up… we will have a feature on Dave Clarke of KVI. Clark. Dave Clark.
I turned to Herbert Anderson’s IMDB instead of reading up on Jay North. The Dad on the DTM tv show had a long, successful career in movies and tv. An episode here and there, but steadily, year after year. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0026802/
Another father figure in tv sitcoms that had a good run in movies and tv, was Hugh Beaumont. Among other appearances, Beaumont was in an episode of George Reeves’ Superman, entitled “The Big Squeeze.” There were some movie roles. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0064604/

Old timers may remember that Joseph Kearns suffered the heart attack that killed him, on the set of the tv show. That was 1962.

Hugh and Fred McMurray helped define the “TV Dad”. Perfect mannered, stern but loving.

Paul Lynde would have made a great Mr. Wilson, but he was probably too young for the part and possibly not on the horizon at the time.
