"ICHABOD & ME" JIMMY HAWKINS * GUY RAYMOND & MERRY ANDERS

Rural Comedy at its best.This clip is from a 1960-'61 CBS series ICHABOD & ME. It starred Robert Sterling ("TOPPER") and George Chandler. They had some great characters actors like Burt Mustin, Guy Raymond, Rita Shaw etc as semi regulars(You know um when you see um). This scene kinda captures the type of humor from this small New England town.This episode (Bob's Redhead) was rural reaction to this sophisticated New York beauty. Guy Raymond... one of a kind. Merry Anders, HOLY TOLEDO.
