Brodhead, 2010, is born this date in 1906. Okay I know it's early in the morning and not had enough coffee yet but in reading this something's "off" or I'm just not following correctly: the episode counts for the respective series (i.e., The Lucy Show - 45 eps? In 5 years? Can't be right. Same with HL: 41 episodes as Harry Carter?? He was in nearly all if not each of its 140 or so episodes). Just typos perhaps? What originally had caught my curiousity about this post is the entry that Gale shot a pilot in 1966, which would be during the Hollywood era of TLS eps. With the show now firmly set about the (mis)adventures of secretary Lucy Carmichael and her boss Mr. Mooney, does this mean had this pilot sold -- presuming he was a lead -- that TLS would have undergone yet another format change? Or at the very least, one in casting? Not to say Gale could be replaced but if in fact the pilot was for his own show, he couldn't possibly have done both at once, then what was to become of his role on TLS? Or was he just a "guest star" on said pilot? Do any Gale afficionados out there know anything about this show? Details if so, please. Thank you! I should have known it'd be in HC's book! Eeeesh! If you ever wanna know anything, just refer to your handy dandy copy of "Lucille Ball FAQ" by Sheridan & Monush. Thanks fellas!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gale was in 111 episodes of The Lucy Show and 140 of Here's Lucy. "Where There's Smokey" was a pilot starring Soupy Sales and Gale that was filmed in 1959 and didn't sell, but eventually aired as part of Vacation Playhouse in 1966.
