He did not serve in the military in any capacity!!

    Hey, thanks...just going by what I had been told....Never heard that about John Denver or Captain Kangaroo...Couldn't see John Denver in the Armed Forces.....

    The other one that applys is that the Don Knotts was NOT really a D.I. in the Marines. I wouldn't have known any of this if I hadn't read an article here while back about Hollywood rumors!!! I did read where you are starring in an upcoming action packed Western Movie!! I sure hope that's not just one of those rumors too!! LOL

    Mr. Rogers was a Special Forces person in WWII.

    Annette was on the Disney "Wonderful World of Disney" before starring in the Beach movies...

    I never did know who actually shot J.R. (didn't really care)...but, would like to know...

    This is toooooooo baffling for my brain. HELP SOONERGIRL26!

    Okay, I watched Foreman Scotty, and my dad fitted him for glasses, for
    many years. Who in the world was Hawg Wilder?

    Doogie Howser? Are you drunk? I mean really drunk?

    Yeah, there were goofs, just like a play, but they'd make the best of it with
    improvisation or simply ignoring the back drop that was on fire. I doubt that
    most of today's TV actors have what it takes.

    Today's live theater is a different story.
    Dark Shadows aired on ABC in the mid-to-late 60's, and although it was taped, the daily episodes were taped pretty much nonstop, and they rarely stopped to reshoot; if an actor blew a line, a prop malfunctioned, or a camera or crewman blundered into a scene, they just went on. Some funny stuff happened.

    While I was out picking some prunes I came up with this TV trivia question.
    It may be easy, we'll see.

    On Foreman Scotty there was a character who became a regular. That was
    Cannonball. Who remembers how they first met on the series?

    Hardy Har Har! Do you know how thrilling it is to stump everybody, including
    the old timers, on this one!

    Okay, this is the story! Foreman Scotty and Xavier T. Willard were in the
    Cirlce 4 Submarine! Do you remember that?

    At one point they stopped the sub and got out. Foreman Scotty looked and
    there was the end of a LONG gun in his face! The episode ended.

    The next episode showed Scotty and Willard face to face with Cannonball!

    That was so exciting.

    How'd anybody not remember that?

    That's it?

    The way cannonball told me was like this. He was a huntin' fer some humongous turtles along the riverside when this there piece of steel came a floating down the river....Never seen steel float though.....and all of a sudden these fiece looking creatures stuck their heads out and started a "screamin" so, I took ole Sadie (you know, my shotgun) and stuck in them sissies faces and told them to quit and I'd let 'em live....Now that's what happened ....I think????
