Oooh! Oooh!

Ooh! Ooh! It's amazing how many TV shows have spawned fan-concocted websites full of photos, facts and even audio/video downloads.  I just happened on one for one of my favorite shows, Car 54, Where Are You?  You can check it out by clicking here.  And if you do and you're Jerry Beck or Scott Shaw!, check out the section on an alleged Hanna-Barbera Car 54 cartoon show which, the operators of this site say, existed for eight episodes within the series, Wait 'Til Your Father Gets Home.  This one's news to me, folks, but the artwork looks like a legit presentation done at the H-B Studio.

From their site — and now, from this one — you can hop to the official website of Al "Grandpa Munster" Lewis.  It's also amazing how many stars of TV shows past are selling autographed pics and such through personal pages.  Gilligan's Island fans can visit sites for Bob Denver, Dawn Wells and "Professor" Russell Johnson.  Fans of the Batman TV show can snag pics of Adam West, Yvonne Craig and Frank GorshinLarry Hagman has a website.  So does Dwayne Hickman, who played Dobie Gillis.  Bernie Kopell from Love Boat has a site, Erik Estrada has one that plays the theme from CHiPs…even my dear pal Howie Morris has one that sells Ernest T. Bass memorabilia.  These folks are making more money on the Internet than two-thirds of the "dot-com" companies out there…and I think it's terrific.
