What Did They Do To the Stove's Control Panel?

[tomturbomatic]

Here is a link to an episode of I'm Dickens...He's Fenster. The front of the stove looks Tappan or OK&M, but the control panel looks customized, maybe to prevent recognition.

Exactly what you thought they've done!!!  Never heard of this show.

I'm Dickens, He's Fenster....

....Was a fairly well-regarded TV comedy back in the early '60s (1962 to 1963). It starred Marty Ingels (present husband of Shirley Jones, although for a number of years, Shirley has had him on probation for various marital misdeeds) and John Astin.

It was a good show, but it folded pretty quickly. Astin went right to The Addams Family, no harm done there.

Are John Astin and Patty Duke still married?

 

[appliguy]

.John Astin and Patty Duke got divorced in 1985

Since March of 1986 Patty has been married to her current husband Michael Pierce and they adopted a son named Kevin in 1989. PAT COFFEY

Tom:

No, he and Duke split in '85.

As a kid, I loved I'm Dickens, He's Fenster.  It didn't last long.  It could stand to be re-tooled, so to speak, for modern times, given all the inept residential contractors that are out there.  Or has it always been that way?

 

Loved the running gag with their ever-exhausted friend who had all the kids -- opening the door to his rumpus room a crack and hearing a total free-for-all mob scene in progress.

I remember this show,and it's one I always watched.

There's a younger actor with the last name of Astin. I guess he is John and Patty's son.

That's Sean Astin.  A fine looking boy.  Probably a man by now.  I haven't seen him much lately.

Sean Astin...

Is a FINE looking man, I think he was born in about 67 or so, so he is in his 40s...he has put on some weight, but if you want to see him at his best, look up the movie Rudy..

 

[appnut]

He's still a FINE lookin' man, moreso when he has a beard.  He could undress in front of me anytime.  The photo of him in a speedo/bikini was dribble material.

Bob

I'm with you. I never heard of the show.

Glad Astin moved on to the Adam's Family.

Yes Sean is a good looking man.

Sean Astin is John Astin’s stepson—but as you can see from the name, his biological father has been out of the picture for his entire life.

 

Sean Astin’s most famous role by far is Sam Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings.

There's another Astin...

Anyone remember the boy on the Facts Of Life towards the end of the series? that was Mackenzie Astin. He's been in several other shows and movies

 

[brib68]

I agree

With all the Sean Astin love. He does look particularly good bearded.
