Bewitched: Nobody But a Frog Knows How to Live
From Season 3, Episode 32
Original Airdate: April 27, 1967
A frog turned into a man wants Samantha to change him back.
John Fiedler plays Fergus, who wants to be changed back into a frog. If you needed a high-pitched, squeeky voiced, pipsqueek of a character, then John Fiedler was your man. His long career included roles as the nervous Juror #2 in “12 Angry Men,” in Star Trek’s “Wolf in the Fold” and in the role of Mr. Peterson on one of my favorite shows, The Bob Newhart Show. He was also the voice on numerous Walt Disney animated films including the “Winnie the Pooh” films as the voice of Piglet.

Primetime Saturday 1961
1961 was an up and down year. Kennedy was inaugurated as President and then saw his popularity drop with the unsuccessful Bay of Pigs invasion. Alan Shepard was the first American into space, but he was beaten there by Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. Jeff let’s us know that ABC had a news team too, but did anyone ever watch them? Then there was that quintessential TV series about the all American family living in that new phenomenon, the suburbs.

Diver Dan

Diver Dan was a syndicated television series produced around 1960, 61 in Philadelphia. The cast consisted of Diver Dan and Miss Minerva, the Mermaid, who were real people, along with a number of fish and sea creatures, who were all string puppets. To give the illusion that they were all underwater, the series was filmed through an aquarium. Do you remember Barron Barracuda, Trigger Fish, Finley Haddock, Gabby the Clam, Glow Fish, Goldie the Goldfish, Hammer-head Shark, Hermit Crab, Doc Sturgeon, Sea Biscuit the Seahorse and Skipper Kipper?
Primetime Monday 1963
You wonder if anything else happened in 1963. The assassination of President Kennedy in November was such a shock to the nation that it seems to have overshadowed all other news of the year. It created a touchstone for a generation, much like 9/11, or the Challenger explosion, everyone asked, “where were you when you heard President Kennedy was dead.” Jeff takes us through that period with some poignant clips and talks about the Monday TV schedule for 1963.
