TV characters that were never seen?

[ohiosmith]

Juanita down at the diner.

[Pab Sungenis]

1. Norm's wife Vera.

[ohiosmith]

2. Good one!

[PoliticAverse]

12. Vera was seen. Once. Mostly...

[Archae]

3. Carlton the doorman on "Rhoda."

Lorenzo Music did his voice before he went on to voicing "Garfield."

[ohiosmith]

8. Yep!

[HopeHoops]

26. That was my first thought.

[Bolo Boffin]

93. Carlton was once on the set, too.

He carried a mattress out of the bedroom for Rhoda, his gloved hands all that was visible to the camera. He then held his hat back through the door for a tip.

Sorry, no picture, but I remember the episode.

[Pab Sungenis]

4. Rocky King's wife Mabel

even though he talked to her every episode.

[ohiosmith]

10. Outstanding!

[Pab Sungenis]

46. We did a thing on Mabel when "The Idiot Box" tackled Rocky King.

We had one of the boys order a MABEL-2000 Model Invisi-Wife.

[Rambis]

5. Charlie- Well not his face

[ohiosmith]

11. Okay! I give! Charlie who?

[PoliticAverse]

14. Bosley's Boss. n/t

[ohiosmith]

15. Oh!

[Swede]

6. Robin Masters on Magnum P.I.

[ohiosmith]

24. Good one!

[Archae]

33. Wasn't Higgins really Robin Masters?

[Pab Sungenis]

40. Yes, he was.

But I think it qualifies.

[harmonicon]

95. NO. WAY.

When/where/how/why the fuck did this get revealed?

I simply can't believe it.

[Pab Sungenis]

96. Final episode.

Much surprise.

[harmonicon]

101. FINAL EPISODE?!?

It was cancelled?! Those corporate fat-cats don't give two licks about art.

[LynneSin]

7. Maris Crane from "Fraiser"

She was Niles' wife although in the end he divorced her.

[ohiosmith]

28. Excellent!

[bigwillq]

9. Stanley Walker

on Will & Grace.

[ohiosmith]

32. Yes!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

13. Here's a real oldie: Pete's wife Gladys on "December Bride"

There was a later, short-lived spin-off called "Pete and Gladys," but on "December Bride," which featured a household consisting of a married couple and the wife's mother. Pete (Harry Morgan, later on MASH) was the wise-cracking neighbor who was always in and out of the house.

[ohiosmith]

42. Classic!

[mykpart]

65. Unfortunately, there was a spinoff

to December Bride called Pete and Gladys. Cara Williams played Gladys. It was mercifully short-lived.

[Shadowflash]

16. Charlie Brown's parents

Or teacher.

[LynneSin]

34. I was going to say any adult in the Peanuts

[hifiguy]

17. Diane - to whom Special Agent D.B. Cooper was always dictating

reports on Twin Peaks.

[Pab Sungenis]

41. Isn't there a question about whether or not Diane exists?

[Taverner]

43. Diane was his tape recorder

Much like how some diarists might call their diary 'Kitty'

[XemaSab]

62. .

[raccoon]

19. "Sheridan," son of Hyacinth and Richard on "Keeping Up Appearances." nt

[ohiosmith]

49. Good!

[arcane1]

20. Cousin Jeffrey and Bob Sacamano from "Seinfeld"

[ohiosmith]

51. Cool!

[PoliticAverse]

22. Mrs. Columbo. n/t

[whistler162]

35. only in the Peter Falk Columbo....

she actually had a spin off where she was the star. Later she enterprisingly got lost in the stars.

[PoliticAverse]

37. Btw the spinoff's creators claim it was a different Mrs. Columbo. n/t

[Initech]

23. Wilson from Home Improvement

[whistler162]

36. Only if you ignore the top of his head and hat.

So 93% correct.

[RebelOne]

48. That was my first thought.

You never actually saw his face.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

25. Another real oldie: John Beresford Tipton on "The Millionaire"

You only heard his voice and saw his hands, but he was an eccentric billionaire who gave surprise gifts of cashier's checks for $1 million to people whose situations intrigued or touched him. His assistant was "Michael Anthony" (Marvin Miller) whose job it was to distribute the money to the recipients.

The program always started with Michael Anthony standing in front of Tipton, who would say something philosophical and then hand Anthony an envelope, saying, "Our next millionaire."

By the way, those checks would be about $10 million in today's terms.

[HERVEPA]

47. Hmmm. I thought I remembered the phrase "the late, fabulously wealthy, John Beresford Tipton"

Looking into it on Wikipedia, I see that he was dead, but the scene you mention did appear as a flashback.
I didn't remember that part.

[GoCubsGo]

27. Mrs. Wolowitz from "The Big Bang Theory".

Howard's mother, not his new wife. The actress who does her voice is not what I pictured Howard's mother to look like.

[Aristus]

38. Link to pic?

I'm intrigued...

[Pab Sungenis]

44. Her name is Carol-Ann Susi.

[GoCubsGo]

45. Carol Ann Susi

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0839836/

Judging from this, you've probably already seen her numerous times without realizing it.

[PoliticAverse]

29. Vern

Know whut I mean?

[ohiosmith]

57. Yep!

[deutsey]

30. Sara, Mayberry's switchboard operator n/t

[deutsey]

31. Also: the Loudspeaker Voice on M*A*S*H

I used to think it was Radar when I was a kid, but it couldn't have been him as he was often away from the tent where the microphone was when the voice announced incoming casualties.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

54. Also "Sparky" on MASH.

[dr.strangelove]

56. we saw sparky once

when he thanked Radar for comic books.

[dr.strangelove]

55. Actually, you saw them but probably did not know it.

In a few episodes, Gary Burghoff and Jamie Farr did the announcements as Radar and/or Klinger. But the majority were done by actors Todd Susman or Sal Viscuso. These two appeared as on several episodes as extras and in a few in small speaking parts. My favorite Todd Susman was as the guy who wanted a nosejob. My favorite Sal Viscuso was in the one with the heroin addict that BJ helped (the episode was more famous for being the one with the english commander and Hawkey telling him not to give tea to soldiers with belly wounds).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sal_Viscuso

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Susman

[deutsey]

61. Right, but we never actually saw Todd or Sal making the announcements

Not that I recall, anyway.

I think it was probably a carry-over from the movie where the loudspeaker kind of became a character in its own right.

[LiberalEsto]

39. White Fang and Black Tooth on "Soupy Sales"

all you ever saw was a hairy arm

[ohiosmith]

58. Loved Soupy!

[JonLP24]

50. Mother

from How I met your Mother.

Not yet anyways, thought it was Stella at first but can't be her.

[raccoon]

52. I thought you were going to say Norman Bates' mother--of course, that was a movie.

And we did see her. Well, sort of.

[geardaddy]

53. The radio announcer on Gilligan's Island.

[ohiosmith]

60. Yes!

[FloridaJudy]

59. Any part of Mary Tyler Moore

Except her legs on "Richard Diamond, Private Detective". She played his secretary, Sam. She was mostly just a smoky, sexy voice on the phone.

[ohiosmith]

66. Recall her well!

[Art_from_Ark]

63. The guy who voiced the tape recordings in Mission: Impossible

"Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it..."

[ohiosmith]

69. Good one!

[Art_from_Ark]

64. Mrs. Peel's husband

from the 1960s series The Avengers

[ohiosmith]

70. Excellent!

[PoliticAverse]

78. He shows up in her final episode and drives her off in a car. n/t

[hifiguy]

83. Captain Peter Peel, IIRC.

Apparently the Russkies or some other nogoodniks had captured him at some point.

[pink-o]

87. Actually, when Diana Rigg left the show

They did the send off epi where her missing husband, Peter Peel, is found alive somewhere, and the last scene is where they drive off together with Steed watching. You never do see Peel's face tho!

[Art_from_Ark]

90. I must have missed that episode

because the next season, when they introduced Mrs. King, I thought, "What the heck happened to Mrs. VaVaVavoom, er, Peel?"

[Manifestor_of_Light]

94. I had a crush on John Steed (Patrick MacNee).

I was in elementary school.

[pink-o]

98. He was so erudite and debonair...

I too was a kid in the 60s, and The Avengers came to the USA on the wave of Brit invasion bands, Carnaby St chic and a whole ton of major Anglophilia. I thought all Englishmen were like Steed. Hah! When I moved to London in 74 I was in for a rude awakening. I didn't understand the class system, but found out that working people were totally crude and hilarious, and hella more fun that trussed-up Bank nerds.

The Brit Bad Boys were some of the best I've ever encountered!!

[Shrek]

67. Ugly Naked Guy n/t

[ohiosmith]

71. I give! From what show?

[JVS]

72. friends

[ohiosmith]

73. Thanks! Never saw it.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

68. "Martha," the mom's friend on the Brady Bunch

[ohiosmith]

74. Very good!

[WolverineDG]

75. Duffy

"Duffy's Tavern, where the elite meet to eat. Archie the manager speaking, Duffy ain't here."

[ohiosmith]

82. Good one!

[kentauros]

76. One that none of y'all will recognize:

Jeannie's cousin, Mirrilla. There was a whole episode on her.
(from I Dream of Jeannie)

[ohiosmith]

99. You're right!

[Jamaal510]

77. The parents, teachers, and other adults on Ed Edd 'n Eddy.

[IMG][/IMG]

[hifiguy]

84. Loved EE&E and miss it a lot.

That is one of those cartoons that will still be just as funny 40 years from now.

[sarge43]

79. Maris Crane, Niles' wife, Frasier. n/t

[NoPasaran]

80. Lars, Phyllis' husband on The Mary Tyler Moore Show

[hifiguy]

85. "What makes you think Lars' family doesn't like you, Phyllis?"

"You don't have to speak Norwegian to translate 'Gott holfen Lars,' Mary"

[CBGLuthier]

81. Mick Belcher's mother from Hill St. Blues

Almost every episode featured a scene with a phone call from his mother.

[sinkingfeeling]

86. Wilson on 'Home Improvement'. Actually, we saw his body just not his face.

[swimboy]

88. I used to think this was true of Pickles

Buddy's wife from The Dick Van Dyke Show. But I think she shows up at the Petries in one episode.

[Tabasco_Dave]

89. sybil goulie - All In The Family

Edith's Friend

[Lionel Mandrake]

91. Gertie on Perry Mason

Well, almost never.

[Kablooie]

92. The narrator on Rocky and Bullwinkle

[RFKHumphreyObama]

100. Rose Nylund's late husband on the Golden Girls

We saw everyone else's husbands either in flashbacks, in dreams or in Dorothy Zbornak's case as a recurring character. But we never saw Charlie Nylund. A shame because I would love to have had an idea of what he was like

[sakabatou]

102. The royal family from Bleach
