Allan Melvin has died. So has Suzanne Pleshette. Pleshette, you know. But who the hell is Allan Melvin? Why, he was long-suffering Brady maid, Alice's non-commital boyfriend. And, of course, Archie Bunker's "pal", Barney Hefner on "All in the Family" and the lesser "Archie Bunker's Place".
And, I just learned, the voice of Magilla Gorilla! Holy shit -- and Drooper the Lion from "The Banana Splits Adventure Hour." A far-out show from my youth. Should've called it the "Banana Spliffs..."Anyhow, farewell, Barney or Sam or Allan!
Christ, Nick at Nite has gotta have their flag (?) at half-mast tonight. Goodnight, Funnyman!
