Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli played by Henry Winkler in the American sitcom, Happy Days.
Fonzie previously belonged to two different gangs, the Demons and the Falcons. He earned a particularly infamous reputation during this time, making many of his peers afraid of him.

This is Bob Denver, who played the title character in the popular sitcom "Gilligan's Island." He was making a personal appearance at a car lot in McCleansboro, Illinois, in 1977, when I got him to pose for this shot. This event was alluded to in the giant elephant picture I posted previously. I finally found the set of negatives the elephant belonged to and the rest included a couple shots of Bob and some classic cars that were being shown at the event.

Dark-haired Hollywood beauty Yvonne De Carlo (1922–2007) was a Canadian American actress, singer, and dancer whose career in film, television, and musical theatre spanned six decades. From the 1950s on, she also starred in British and Italian films. She achieved her greatest popularity as the ghoulish matriarch Lily in the TV sitcom The Munsters (1964-1966).
Yvonne De Carlo was born Margaret Yvonne Middleton in 1922 in West Point Grey (now part of Vancouver), British Columbia, Canada. She was the only child of William Middleton, an Australian-born salesman, and Marie DeCarlo, a French-born aspiring actress. Her father deserted the home, leaving her mother to make a living as a waitress. When De Carlo was ten her mother enrolled her in a local dance school and also saw that she studied dramatics. De Carlo and her mother made several trips to Los Angeles to seek fame and fortune in Hollywood. In 1940, she was first runner-up to Miss Venice Beach, and she also came fifth in the 1940s Miss California competition. A year later, she landed a bit part as a bathing beauty in Harvard, Here I Come (Lew Landers, 1941). She also appeared in the three-minute Soundies musical, The Lamp of Memory (1942), shown in coin-operated movie jukeboxes. Other roles were slow to follow, and De Carlo took a job in the chorus line of Earl Carroll. During World War II she performed for U.S. servicemen and received many letters from GIs. She got her big break when she was chosen over a reported 20,000 girls to play the lead role as a European seductress in the Technicolor spectacle Salome, Where She Danced (Charles Lamont, 1945), with Rod Cameron and Walter Slezak. She played a dancer during the Austrian-Prussian war who is forced to flee her country after she is accused of being a spy and ends up in a lawless western town in Arizona. Producer Walter Wanger described her as "the most beautiful girl in the world." Though not a critical success, it was a box office favourite, and the heavily-promoted De Carlo was hailed as an up-and-coming star. Universal signed her to a long-term contract. De Carlo was given a small role in the prison film Brute Force (Jules Dassin, 1947), starring Burt Lancaster. Two years later she was again cast opposite Lancaster in her first important role in the classic Film Noir Criss Cross (Robert Siodmak, 1949). Claudio Carvalho at IMDb: "Burt Lancaster has an outstanding performance in the role of an honest man obsessed with his former wife, who becomes a criminal trying to regain the love of his fickle ex-wife. Yvonne De Carlo is also perfect and very beautiful, in the role of a cold and manipulative woman, being a perfect 'femme-fatale'." However, Universal preferred to cast De Carlo in more conventional fare, such as Casbah (John Berry, 1948) a musical remake of the 1938 film Algiers, the adventure film River Lady (George Sherman, 1948), and Buccaneer's Girl (Frederick de Cordova, 1950). In the latter, she played a New Orleans singer who becomes involved with a Pirate Lord (Philip Friend).
When Yvonne De Carlo was in England making Hotel Sahara (Ken Annakin, 1951), she asked Universal for a release of her contract even though she still had three months to go. The studio agreed. De Carlo had always travelled extensively to promote her films and her appearances were widely publicised. In 1951 she became the first American star to visit Israel. De Carlo regularly played in European films from now on. She starred in the British comedy The Captain's Paradise (Anthony Kimmins, 1953), about a captain of a ferry boat between the restricted British colony in Gibraltar and Spanish Morocco (Alec Guinness) who keeps two wives in separate ports. De Carlo of course played the hot-blooded mistress, Nita in Tangiers. She persuaded director Anthony Kimmins to talk Alec Guinness into doing the mambo with her in a nightclub sequence. Guinness, not usually thought of as a physical actor, consented to a week's worth of dance lessons from De Carlo and the sequence is one of the film's highlights. In England, Yvonne De Carlo also co-starred with David Niven in the comedy Happy Ever After (Mario Zampi, 1954). Her film career reached its peak when director Cecil B. DeMille cast her as Sephora, the wife of Moses (Charlton Heston) in his biblical epic The Ten Commandments (1956). It was to be her most prominent role. She later played a lead performance in the Civil War drama Band of Angels (Raoul Walsh, 1957) with Clark Gable, starred as Mary Magdalene in the Italian biblical epic La spada e la croce/The Sword and the Cross (Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia, 1958), with Jorge Mistral and Rossana Podestà, and had a supporting role in the Western McLintock! (Andrew V. McLaglen, 1963) featuring John Wayne. In 1964, De Carlo was deeply in debt, her film career was over and she was suffering from depression. Then, she was offered the role of Lily Munster, the wife of Herman Munster, in the legendary TV sitcom The Munsters (1964-1966). The Munsters are a weird but honest family. Herman, the father (Fred Gwynne) is Frankenstein's monster. Lily, his wife (Yvonne De Carlo), and the cigar-chomping Grandpa, her father (Al Lewis) are vampires. Their little son Eddie (Butch Patrick) is a werewolf. Their niece Marilyn (Pat Priest) is the only normal one. She is the ugly duck of the family. The sitcom went on the air in 1964 and lasted only two seasons, but achieved a kind of pop-culture immortality in decades of reruns and movie and television spinoffs. Wolfgang Saxon in The New York Times: "In her cape and robes and with a streak of white in her black hair, Miss De Carlo’s Lily was a glamorous ghoul and a kind of Bride of Frankenstein as a homemaker, “dusting” her gothic mansion at 1313 Mockingbird Lane with a vacuum cleaner set on reverse. The humor mostly derived from the family members’ oblivious belief that they were no different from their neighbors." After the show's cancellation, De Carlo reprised the role as Lily Munster in the Technicolor film Munster, Go Home! (Earl Bellamy, 1966). After 1967, De Carlo became increasingly active in musicals, appearing in off-Broadway productions of Pal Joey and Catch Me If You Can. Her defining stage role was as Carlotta Campion in the original Broadway cast of Stephen Sondheim's musical Follies (1971-1972). Playing a washed-up star at a reunion of old theater colleagues, she introduced the song I'm Still Here, which would become well-known. Yvonne De Carlo married stuntman Robert Drew Morgan, whom she met on the set of the Western Shotgun (Lesley Selander, 1955). They had two sons, Bruce Ross (1956) and Michael (1957-1997). After Bob Morgan's untimely accident, De Carlo was dismissed from her contract at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1960. Morgan became an alcoholic and they divorced in 1974. De Carlo kept appearing in films and TV series. After her role in the TV Movie The Barefoot Executive (Susan Seidelman, 1995), she retired from acting at age 72. In 2007, she died from heart failure in Los Angeles. De Carlo was 84.

A fun piece done for the great folks at Planet Pulp. Check out there gallery - a new theme each month. September is the Ha-Ha Sitcom Show!
Dad's Army was a British television sitcom about the United Kingdom's Home Guard during the Second World War.
It was (and still is) very popular and ran from 1968 to 1977. Re-runs are often see on TV's round the world.
Much of the exterior shots were made in and around the town of Thetford in Norfolk.
Such is the enduring popularity of the series that a statue of the character "Captain Mainwaring" was erected in the town in 2010.
It's a good likeness. Sadly almost all the actors from the series have now died - only Private Pike - Ian Lavender - remains but the series lives on in fond memories of many.

April O'Neal: Oh, this is exciting! We are live on the scene as Huntress, one of the stars of the new sitcom 'Malibu Steel', is fighting real crime on the mean streets of Paprihaven!
WHACK!!
Blue Beach Steel: GYAAHH!!! H EE ELLP!!
Officer Baveja: Umm...
April O'Neal: Miss Huntress! Isn't that one of the Steel Hand dojo??
WHACK!!
Blue Beach Steel: AAAHHCK!!!
Huntress: Yes.
Officer Baveja: That's enough, I think he's subdued.
WHACK!!
Blue Beach Steel: Somebody heeeelllp!!!
April O'Neal: Ah... you're repeatedly smashing his head into the wall...
Huntress: He was doing some criminal... whatever... and so I caught him and we're in a huge fight.
WHACK!!
Blue Beach Steel: OOARRRK!! I can't... I can't feel my spleen!
Officer Baveja: Huntress!!
April O'Neal: This is barbaric!
Huntress: Which is what he needs to go back and express to the other Steel Hand Dojo members... particularly Speedo. This is what will continue to happen as long as that sitcom is planned.
April: WHOA! Viewers, stay tuned!!
From the Juicy Bloodhound, Paprihaven's premiere gossip publication.
Well, it can no longer be denied with these secret shots taken in Paprihaven Soundstage 4! There is a new set going up. Here we see the Paprihaven Dream Team already at work.
We were undercover and not able to ask questions, but just from listening to the Dream Team as they worked, it seems this will be an ongoing, once-a-week sitcom! A first for Paprihaven.
We were not able to get many details but here's what we know. The sitcom seems to be centered on the home life of a professional wrestler and world famous adventurer.
We saw the title, "Malibu Steel" and heard the word "Steel" a lot.
And, we could not be sure, but we believe we saw Huntress cast as the wife!
What was very interesting is that one of the Dream Team was overheard saying that there were more lawyers involved in this production than crew! It seems that this sitcom is a result of legal action from outside of Paprihaven!
More details as they come available!
My very cute and beautiful wife having a laugh at a TV sitcom.

Dark-haired Hollywood beauty Yvonne De Carlo (1922–2007) was a Canadian American actress, singer, and dancer whose career in film, television, and musical theatre spanned six decades. From the 1950s on, she also starred in British and Italian films. She achieved her greatest popularity as the ghoulish matriarch Lily in the TV sitcom The Munsters (1964-1966).
Yvonne De Carlo was born Margaret Yvonne Middleton in 1922 in West Point Grey (now part of Vancouver), British Columbia, Canada.

Other roles were slow to follow, and De Carlo took a job in the chorus line of Earl Carroll. During World War II she performed for U.S. servicemen and received many letters from GIs. She got her big break when she was chosen over a reported 20,000 girls to play the lead role as a European seductress in the Technicolor spectacle Salome, Where She Danced (Charles Lamont, 1945), with Rod Cameron and Walter Slezak. She played a dancer during the Austrian-Prussian war who is forced to flee her country after she is accused of being a spy and ends up in a lawless western town in Arizona.

DeMille cast her as Sephora, the wife of Moses (Charlton Heston) in his biblical epic The Ten Commandments (1956). It was to be her most prominent role. She later played a lead performance in the Civil War drama Band of Angels (Raoul Walsh, 1957) with Clark Gable, starred as Mary Magdalene in the Italian biblical epic La spada e la croce/The Sword and the Cross (Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia, 1958), with Jorge Mistral and Rossana Podestà, and had a supporting role in the Western McLintock! (Andrew V. McLaglen, 1963) featuring John Wayne. In 1964, De Carlo was deeply in debt, her film career was over and she was suffering from depression. Then, she was offered the role of Lily Munster, the wife of Herman Munster, in the legendary TV sitcom The Munsters (1964-1966). The Munsters are a weird but honest family. Herman, the father (Fred Gwynne) is Frankenstein's monster. Lily, his wife (Yvonne De Carlo), and the cigar-chomping Grandpa, her father (Al Lewis) are vampires. Their little son Eddie (Butch Patrick) is a werewolf. Their niece Marilyn (Pat Priest) is the only normal one. She is the ugly duck of the family. The sitcom went on the air in 1964 and lasted only two seasons, but achieved a kind of pop-culture immortality in decades of reruns and movie and television spinoffs. Wolfgang Saxon in The New York Times: "In her cape and robes and with a streak of white in her black hair, Miss De Carlo’s Lily was a glamorous ghoul and a kind of Bride of Frankenstein as a homemaker, “dusting” her gothic mansion at 1313 Mockingbird Lane with a vacuum cleaner set on reverse. The humor mostly derived from the family members’ oblivious belief that they were no different from their neighbors." After the show's cancellation, De Carlo reprised the role as Lily Munster in the Technicolor film Munster, Go Home! (Earl Bellamy, 1966). After 1967, De Carlo became increasingly active in musicals, appearing in off-Broadway productions of Pal Joey and Catch Me If You Can. Her defining stage role was as Carlotta Campion in the original Broadway cast of Stephen Sondheim's musical Follies (1971-1972). Playing a washed-up star at a reunion of old theater colleagues, she introduced the song I'm Still Here, which would become well-known. Yvonne De Carlo married stuntman Robert Drew Morgan, whom she met on the set of the Western Shotgun (Lesley Selander, 1955). They had two sons, Bruce Ross (1956) and Michael (1957-1997). After Bob Morgan's untimely accident, De Carlo was dismissed from her contract at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1960. Morgan became an alcoholic and they divorced in 1974. De Carlo kept appearing in films and TV series. After her role in the TV Movie The Barefoot Executive (Susan Seidelman, 1995), she retired from acting at age 72. In 2007, she died from heart failure in Los Angeles. De Carlo was 84.

"Schitt's Creek," is a sitcom about a wealthy couple -- video store magnate Johnny and his soap opera star wife Moira -- suddenly find themselves completely broke. With only one remaining asset, a small town called Schitt's Creek, which the Roses bought years earlier as a joke.That's the fictional Schitt's Creek. But the real place is a village in Ontario, Canada, called Goodwood , home to about 600 people and it was where Schitt's Creek was filmed. Drove by one night and snapped this shot.
Today me and Big Lemon L313 AUT are in Slough featuring in a new TV sitcom. Here the bus is seen parked up during lunchtime. No photos while filming but once the series has been announced and date to be aired I will post a link to it.
Taken from meal hill. I love this particular footpath, its so quiet, even at weekends, i rarely see anyone else and for me thats just perfect.
The villages down below are hepworth, scholes and jackson bridge.
If anybody remembers the bbc sitcom 'LAST OF THE SUMMER WINE' well some of the scenes were filmed in this landscape.
Have to thank lightroom for rescuing this photo, very tricky lighting and its still not perfect.
Their off .. Luke , Bo and Daisy Duke .. what else am I going to call this lot with a car like this ,, two young spirited guys , one with dark hair and the other with light .. and a pretty girl to complete the trio .. their Dukes or Dookes as the yanks call em .
So to continue the story .. When these guys came out of the store I was standing beside the car attempting to engage them in conversation . Now let me state here I was never a real fan of the sitcom TV series back in the late 70's and into the 80's . I do remember the Duke boys drove and did they drive it wild most of the time a brightly coloured car like this they called the General Lee and it had big number 01 on the side of the car and a Confederate flag on the top as well , as for what make and model of car it was I had no idea , may be a Dodge Barracuda which I stated to them ... No its a Charger .. got that wrong I thought .. I followed it up with We had a Chrysler ( Dodge ) Charger in this country in the 70's .. it was a real goer .. We know , was the reply from one of the boys .. This ones got a big block 440 in it .. I was impressed .. So its a bit faster than my Mazda 3 then .. with that I got a reply from Bo .. That would be an interesting race ! .. I thought wheres this conversation going then .. by this time their getting into the General to drive off . In hindsight I was a bit slow off the mark in not asking if I could get a few shots of them with the car .. it didn't seem right after the accusations when they arrived with the parking incident .
To continue .. When the Dukes arrived here they came with friends who were driving a another sitcom car , the 74 Ford striped tomato Grand Torino of Starsky n Hutch . They were waiting in their car ready to follow and continue the journey with the Dukes who were now starting to reverse the General out and to get out of this place . I got the camera out trying to take a few shots of both cars leaving . An opportunity lost for a shoot I thought after , after bad blood at the beginning .. a pity all round .

“DAZZLE is a coming-of-age sitcom set in the late 1990s that follows its titular character (played by former Teen Street actress Dominique De Grassi) as she navigates being accepted into the prestigious Leimert Park Arts High, family life, love, and her dreams of becoming a famous actress!"
"Dazzle is very Moesha and Taina inspired. I wanted to base some elements off of my real life, such as trying to form a relationship with a new stepmother and pursuing my dreams of becoming a star. It's important that young women of color have characters they can view as role models and positive depictions of black families on television, so that's something I aim to bring to children's television through Dazzle."
