she somehow met Richard Dawson and he gave her the remainder of his cup of coffee to drink, which she did (!). Well, it's common knowledge that celebrities have no cooties. With the obvious exception of rock musicians, of course.

I recall that one - they did a BRIDE OF FRANK redo, too. And anyone recall Larry Blyden's THE MOVIE GAME? Boy, was I p.o.'ed then, when the audience laughed at the Bramwell Fletcher scene from MUMMY!

>I`ve never heard of MASQUERADE PARTY before.< >"Masquerade Party" ... I realize it was a rip of "What's My Line"< Actually it was a revival of a long-running '50s show - surprised genre mavens here missed that, as Vinnie Price guested!

I remember Dawson best for his quiz shows, not "Hogan", though I watched that a bit too. As someone else here noted, I thought he succumbed to that heart attack back in The '80s. Maybe the report said "heart attack" and I assumed the worst, or perhaps...

When I was small, my grandmother went on a trip to visit her sister in California (she lived in Lompoc, W.C. Fields fans). Amongst her adventures, she somehow met Richard Dawson and he gave her the remainder of his cup of coffee to drink, which she ...

Here's one of those neat little chapters in pop culture history, and science fiction history, that no one seems to know about... One day, in the early '80s I believe, I had FAMILY FEUD on. (Yes, yes, in the days before twenty-four hour cable, I be...

My thoughts on Dawson, that I posted on Facebook earlier today: I grew up watching Richard Dawson - first on Laugh-In, then Match Game and of course Family Feud. He was known for his humor and his impressions early on, but on the rare occasions he did ge...

He was a major part of my TV upbringing. Another one of those celebrities that I just don't think of as being mortal.

He also appeared in an episode of The Outer Limits (1963 version).

Liked him on HOGAN'S HEROES -- we even had an LP of the HOGAN'S cast (sans Bob Crane) singing WWII era songs -- thought he was funny and charming on MATCH GAME, got increasingly weirded out by him on FAMILY FEUD. Anyone remember his turn as a rock sin...

Never cared much for "Family Feud" and really never watched "Hogan's Heroes". Suppose my best memory of Dawson was as part of the Canadian contingent in the William Holden war pic "The Devil's Brigade".
