You Know The Voice: John Fiedler (1964)

 Due to the pandemic, the IRS extended the deadline for tax returns to last Monday, May 17. In 1964, though, it was still April 15, per tradition, and it's a key to the plot in this season 1 episode of The Bill Dana Show.

Steady, versatile John Fiedler, known to millions of kiddo's as the voice of Winnie The Pooh's pal, Piglet, for so many years, guest stars here as an IRS agent who has to deal with the innocent generosity of Jose Jiminez (Dana). Look also for Jerry Hausner, who voiced Mr. Magoo's cousin, Waldo, in a number of shorts.

Our good friend and fellow blogger Hal Horn now has a YouTube channel, which is where we found this item.


Gary Crosby (Eddie), Bing's son, left the series after 1 season, but most nostalgia mavens will remember him as Officer Ed Wells on Adam-12 (1968-75) and a zillion Crosby family specials.

Now, if only Hal can pull up some F-Troop episodes, since he's the biggest Forrest Tucker fan on the planet........

Thanks for the props and shoutout, hobbyfan!

Happy to provide some hard to find eps for folks to enjoy. I do hope to be able to share more Bob Cummings Show eps soon on the channel.

If you can find some My Living Doll eps, that would be awesome. F-Troop, of course, would be nice.

Both have copyrights on all eps, so I doubt if it would fly.
