Doyle on eBay

No soup for you, Joe.

If you look at the list painstakingly copied from IMDB, Mr. Mustin did appear several times on the more modern Dragnet (The one still available in re-runs and on hulu.com) then he did on the original Dragnet.

Yes, he was a staple on Dragnet, but the more modern version there of.

Amazing career; for he started acting when most actors are calling it a day.

I agree with you in theory about how every post should be card related only.

However; discussions sometimes are sloppy and the direction moves away from cards; and then usually returns.

One of my favorite authors, the late David Halberstam, would interweave "distractions" into his books and then use those "distractions" to return to the main subject.

So, let's see how we can compare Mr. Doyle to Mr. Mustin

This thread about this ebayer had pretty much run it's course. Just like so many auctions on ebay the guy is fishing for someone to think they have a gold mine, when they will end up with a mud pie.

So after it was pretty much over Scott L. made a reference to the two guys selling the fake "Wagner" that made it to an otherwise, seemingly reputable auction house, as well as the National news. Taking my cue I went with it, showed a picture of our 2 infamous, past board members and went in another direction too. I always liked Gus on Leave it to Beaver and remember him doing a few other things too. Gus was cool. I also had a picture of Sanjaya Malakar, who was a teeny bopper heart throb on one of the first American Idol shows. The kid couldn't sing very well (imo) but still kept making the cuts as the little girls kept voting him through. Then everyone else just took it from there. As far as making a section for talking about TV and movies, no thanks. There are probably 10000 other forums for that. As for having a bit of fun in the future, I hope we continue. best regards

As you all know (apparently except for Joe P.....), old Burt was the catcher and first baseman on the PMC (Pennsylvania Military College) 1902-1903 baseball team. I found this fuzzy picture of him on the internet. He was built like Connie Mack, who also dabbled as a catcher before finding his true calling.

From here, I'm sure someone else can get us closer to Mr. Doyle...

Lovely Day...

Lost track of this thread until now...yes Burt got into acting late in life, but he made a career out of that angular, strange looking face of his. Pretty funny.

When I was a kid, my family occasionally played Trivial Pursuit. One question was for the name of the fireman in Leave It to Beaver. It was for a pie piece, I drew a blank, and my dad was pretty disappointed. (It was a heated game.)

These days I can't hear the name Gus without thinking about "Gruff but lovable Gus" - a character from the NBC days of David Letterman.

Barry, are you implying, that you don't have an angular strange looking face??? Hopefully, that is not holding you back from making a career move...

Lovely Day...

I have a face that could stop a clock.

Jeff, the term "The Great Unwashed" is derivative to early radio soap opera's.
It was not meant to be a derogatory term, but more so of the wide recognition of the vast fandom of radio soaps during the depression years.
Soaps were followed daily ... religiously.
Till this day, the term has stayed with us.
I worked 15 of the 19 years, on a TV soap called The Doctors on NBC at 30 Rock.

Hmmm.
