I hadn't realized John Astin was still alive. That's good news. By the way, M.M. I love the pix of Buster Keaton and the monkey in your header. Just wonderful. :)
Addams Family should still be available on Netflix streaming.
I'm a little ashamed of my fondness for 80's sitcom Night Court, but not of my love for John Astin's character Buddy. When he explains that he used to be crazy, "but I'm feeling MUCH better now!", and give that patented Astin grin, I'd just plotz.
John Astin also appeared, pre-Addams Family, in a 1962 sitcom entitled “I’m Dickens…He’s Fenster” that my husband, Jim Benson of www.TVTimeMachine.com and I’ll be bringing out on DVD this fall. Astin does a lot of physical comedy in the show, which also stars Marty Ingels, and is about two best friends and co-workers in a construction company where things rarely go right. http://www.imdickenshesfenster.com and http://dickensandfenster.com to see clips and for more info about the DVD project.
LOL. I loved that show.
ReplyDeleteYou know, John Astin (Gomez) is still alive and teaching acting at Johns Hopkins, just up the road from here. He's one of the greats.
