RodMcK1 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Having been a recurring player on "My Favorite Husband" and "I Love Lucy," I wonder why he not once appeared on either "The Lucy Show" or "Here's Lucy." Was he considered too similar in style to Gale Gordon? I know he continued to work throughout the period, having made a few funny appearances on "Sanford and Son" as his usual obnoxious sales clerk character, "eee-Yessssss!" Also, what would have "The Lucy Show" been like had he been cast as Mr. Mooney? Better, worse, or just different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Frank Nelson was in "Lucy Visits the White House" but that was his final Lucy episode. After that, it seems his appearances become more sporadic and voice overs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was such a great character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 After seeing the costume contest at a Lucy Fest once Charlie said he wanted to go as Frank Nelson the train conductor from The Great Trasin Robbery episode so he could dress like a train guy and say oh yessssss.
