Ward Warns Wayward Wally




Frankly, Wally, I'm disappointed
in you. Your mother and I didn't
raise you to get mixed up with
that ragtag group of misfits
at Shady's Place.

Gee, dad, you make it sound like they're a
bunch of hooligans. They're really nice guys
and girls. All they do is listen to the coolest
records, dance, sing, talk, laugh and have
fun. The original Shady Dell wasn't like any
other hangout and didn't try to be. That's
how it isat Shady's Place, too.


Boy, I don't think I ever saw dad
this mad before. Looks like he
might be gettin' ready to clobber
Wally! While they're in the den,
see if you can answer Shady
Del Knight's brain-bustin'
trivia questions.



 TRIVIA QUESTIONS: 



Can you name the two stars of the 1950s
Western television series Broken Arrow?

Which actor later became a regular cast
member on a soap opera for teenagers
that co-starred Tony Dow who played
Wally on Leave it to Beaver?

Which of these actors was married to
Barbara Eden, star of the popular
60s sitcom I Dream of Jeannie?

(SCROLL DOWN)































 ANSWERS TO TRIVIA QUESTIONS: 

The year was 1956.


You liked 7 Up... and it liked you.





That fall the Western TV series
Broken Arrow started its two year
prime time run on ABC with reruns
aired on Sunday afternoons during
the 1959/60 season.

Michael Ansara
played Apache chief Cochise
on Broken Arrow.



For 16 years Ansara was married to Barbara Eden,
star of the 60s sitcom I Dream of Jeannie.

John Lupton starred as Indian agent
Tom Jeffords on Broken Arrow.



In the mid 60s Lupton appeared as a regular
on the ABC daytime drama Never Too Young.


Never Too Young premiered in the fall
of 1965. Intended to attract teenage
viewers, the soap, which starred
Tony Dow of Leave It To Beaver
and Tommy Rettig of Lassie fame,
featured guest appearances by
popular 60s recording artists.
Never Too Young got old fast.
The teen sudser lasted only one
season before being given the
ax and replaced by the Gothic
vampire series Dark Shadows.


Remember rock 'n' roller Jo Ann Campbell's novelty number
"Mother, Please" based on the funny old TV commercial
for the pain reliever Anacin? Now watch John Lupton
lose his cool in this 1965 Anacin ad.



Have a Shady day!
