Love That Bob - "My Uncle Bob" (1958)

[@kellycoleman715]

I watched reruns of this show for years when I was a kid.

I don't remember anyone who would walk into a kitchen and just eat someone's breakfast. The friends are ridiculous , obnoxious and quick to judge. I grew up in that time and knew how to respect adults.These boys were poor examples of what teenagers were like then.

From one Cummings to another . . . you funny!

Bob Cummings had a pilots licence in real life

[@richardadams2446]

As I understand it, he had THE pilot's license. As in, Bob was the holder of the very first US civilian pilot trainer's license. He was taught to fly by a somewhat notable figure, a friend of his grandfather's - Orville Wright! In fact, Bob's full name was Charles Clarence Robert ORVILLE Cummings.

Same here. I miss the one-time only DVDs that were featured in their flyers and emails, especially the channel-surfing DVDs of old shows with original commercials and network IDs, as originally broadcast. Very nostalgic! It's been about 5 years since they were discontinued. I wish they could bring them back.

Of course, Rod Amateau and Dwayne Hickman would touch base again later in 'Dobie Gillis'.

[@Halchorn]

This one is actually from 1956, since it is directed by Rod Amateau, who had left the series by 1958 (Cummings directed all episodes from the final two seasons (1957-59)

[@Halchorn]

I am doing an episode guide on my blog The Horn Section and have about 120 of the 173 episodes. Making imdb corrections on it when I can. :) This one is "The Fallen Idol", which originally aired March 8, 1956.

@@Halchorn I remember watching this show in syndication as a kid, but was not aware that Bob direct any of the episodes...he really was somewhat of a renaissance man.
