I actually remember seeing a few episodes of his TV show the Tim Conway show where he worked at an airline with Joe Flynn. Never saw Rango ( his western comedy series circa 1966) but Gus is an alltime favorite, seen it 5 times. Used to like the forgotten Liberty Williams who was the girl That Gary Grimes ended up with in the picture. She was in a lot of TV commercials back then and starred as Tabitha Stevens in a failed potential Tabitha series (only the pilot). Later they got Tabitha on the air with Lisa Hartman and Bob Urich and it was terrible.
Hey Dan. Other than his appearances on The Carol Burnett Show and reruns of McHale’s Navy I have not seen many of his television series. And I thought I was a big Tim Conway fan. I can see a McHale’s Navy reunion of Flynn and Conway would be some good television. Good old Gus. For the longest time, I thought Gus was the best movie ever made. Today I find it brutal to watch. So much for Kid Cogerson’s movie tastes…lol. Interesting about Tabitha. The late Robert Urich had some good television shows but he also had some clunkers. Thanks for sharing this thoughts on Tim Conway’s memorial page. RIP.
i remember him mainly has peg bundy father
Hey Scott…..I remember he was going to be on Married With Children….not thinking I ever saw he on the show. I will have to see if I can catch one of his appearances on that show. Thanks for stopping by on this very sad day.
