One other fun fact: in the second to last season of the Andy Griffith Show, Gavin played the "Sheriff Without A Gun" when the family went out to Hollywood.
He's got hair in that episode!

(633 posts)Loved him on MTM!!! And on Love Boat
How sad it is to hear Ed Asner say it's just him and Betty now. What a feeling it must be for him to know that everyone else from the iconic show has passed and it's just you and one other person left. I feel like crying!!
I just LOVED The Mary Tyler Moore show
It's amazing how long they all lived though...except for Ted
