Actor Harry Morgan, best remembered as playing Col. Potter in the long-running sitcom M.A.S.H., has died at the impressive age of 96.
I like to remember him for his excellent performance as the henpecked neighbor in December Bride. His character, Pete, was always complaining about his wife, Gladys, who was never seen in the series.
Morgan was so popular in the part he had his own spinoff series with Cara Williams playing Gladys. The series had the highly original title of Pete and Gladys.
I saw December Bride in reruns when it went into syndication some fifty years ago, but I watched the spinoff when it first aired.
A couple of YouTube clips from the two series:
