I'm talking about the "original" Magnum PI . . . the one that starred Tom Selleck back in the 1980s.

I figured you were. His name was Gale Gordon, not John Hillerman. But I'll admit there's a resemblance.

Mr. Wilson (Gale Gordon) was kind of old in Dennis the Menace. He would have been quite old in Magnum P.I..

Sorry Earl, but according to IMDB, it's John Hillerman.

I distinctly remember it being John Hillerman, so I rest my case.

What he was saying was that it's not John Hillerman in that photo, it's Gale Gordon, who played Mr. Wilson in Dennis the Menace. He was also Mr. Mooney on The Lucy Show. Actually, he was also in Here's Lucy, as Harrison Otis 'Harry' Carter. He was born in 1906, so he would have been 74 if he were on Magnum P.I..

Ahhhh, OK. I misunderstood him, as I thought he was saying John Hillerman wasn't in Magnum PI.

Another little tidbit that I found out. Gale Gordon was officially the first chioce for Fred Mertz on I love Lucy, not William Frawley. Gordon was already working on Our Miss Brooks, though at the time.

I don't think I ever realized that was from a movie soundtrack. Probably because I never saw that particular movie.

Well, the original song isn't from a soundtrack. The movie was about a group of friends who met years later. The song was simply included on the soundtrack.
