You might also be interested to know that the woman who played his wife in that episode was also his wife in real life. **

Am I mistaken, or didn’t I see Ruth Buzzi play Norm’s wife, once?

If you count the photo on Potter’s desk, she was in a lot of MAS*H episodes…

Bob, Bob, Bob! I’ve already posted on this. If you count the photo on Col. Potter’s desk, she was NOT in a lot of shows! The woman in the photo was actress Spring Byington. The woman who played Mildred Potter in AfterMASH was someone else (Ms. Byington having died previously.)
On Red Green, there are a lot of unseen characters. Besides Bernice, Red’s wife*, there’s Stinky Petersen, Old Man Sedgwick, Moose Thompson, Junior Singleton, and Buster Hatfield. I think that’s all.
*There was an episode where a network was going to buy the program, and cast a young blonde babe as Bernice, but they also cast a young Ted McGinley-looking guy as Harold. Anyway, the deal didn’t go through, and I was left wondering how those two were going to get out of Possum Lake in one piece.
There was Serge, Edina’s son on AbFab who was never seen…
In Jimmy Durante’s act there was Mrs. Calabash…
That’s all I can think of that hasn’t been mentioned.
I thought I was the only person who watched that! haha
I’m about 10yeqrs late with this but, in response to DG Bowe in 2001:
Pete’s (Harry Morgan, later Col. Potter on MASH) was neighbor Pete on Spring Byington’s “December Bride”, married to the unseen Gladys, and later in the spinoff “Pete & Gladys”, where Gladys was played by Cara Williams who married John Drew Barrymore, later married to Ildiko Jaid and the father of Drew Barrymore.
Throwing fresh brains over fence to Cafe Society to lure zombie thread away from IMHO.
I could be wrong…
But did we ever get to see God’s face on The Simpsons?
I loved that show!
Baldrick: (in dire straights) I want my mum.
Black Adder: Yes, a maternally outraged female gorilla would handy about now.
On Erma Bombeck’s short lived TV series Maggie, the eldest son was an adolescent who was always in his room with the door closed or out of the house. He was never seen.
I was gobsmacked that no one mentioned howard’s mother on Big Bang Theory until I got to the end and realized it’s a ten year old zombie.
as long as zombies have rose from the dead
Myrt was unheard on Fibber McGee and Molly.
Peavey was the druggist was on The Great Gildersleeve, a spinoff of Fibber McGee and Molly. that actor did do another character on Fibber McGee and Molly.
Chandler’s dad was never seen until near the end of the series, when he was played by Kathleen Turner (brilliant casting!). Chandler and Monica went to Las Vegas to invite him to the wedding, and we met him for the first time.
On the old December Bride, Pete Porter (Harry Morgan) complained frequently about his his unseen wife, Gladys. This caused a problem when the producers spun *Pete and Gladys *into its own show. Like Vera and Maris, the real thing was nowhere near as interesting as what we imagined.
