TV Memories I Trivia Quiz

Answer: Chuck

The role of Chuck Cunningham was played by two different actors, Gavan O'Herlihy and Randolph Roberts, before it was decided that the role of Ritchie's wiser older brother might be better fulfilled by his streetwise friend Arthur Fonzarelli. Thus, Fonzie's role was expanded and Chuck was never mentioned again.

Answer: Dick Sargent and Dick York

This question leaves one to wonder if James Bond (played by Sean Connery and Roger Moore, et al) would have found Elizabeth Montgomery as bewitching.
