"Sparky" on "MASH"-you only saw him in one episode, but that was all.

Marge on "THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW".

Juanita on "THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW".

Sara on "THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW".

Mr. Haneys wife on the early episodes of "GREEN ACRES".

Sara on "GREEN ACRES".

YEARS ago; about 1973; there was a short-lived (and stupid) Norman Lear show on ABC called "HOT L BALTIMORE" (I think it was based on a play that was set at a hotel called the HOTEL BALTIMORE, but the L was burned out on the sign, or some such stupid premise). Anyway, there was a regular character named "Moose" something, who was never seen, but talked about sometimes.

Oh, what about Carlton the Doorman on Rhoda? You heard his voice, but never actually SAW him. I always loved the running joke of him being drunk all the time, LOL.

that voice was done by-I forget his name-Leanord Music, THAT'S IT!!!


He was one of the producers of that, MTM, BOB NEWHART and some other shows; and he also voiced Garfield on a series of animated specials.

No, it was Lorenzo Music. And you're right about him being Garfield's voice. I didn't realize it until someone told me, and now whenever I hear Carlton's voice, I can totally recognize him as Garfield. hehe.

Robin Masters - Magnum, P.I.; Higgins and Magnum often mention his name but Robin never really appeared, despite the fact that Robin is voiced by Orson Wells.

Charlie - Charlie's Angels; we always hear his voice but we never saw him.

Velma - A Different World; Velma was Mr. Gaines's wife he often talked about. Up until much later in the run, we never saw who she was.

Sam, the receptionist on "RICHARD DIAMOND, PRIVATE EYE" (I'm dating myself, now:lol: )
You just heard her voice and saw her hands and legs, which is why Mary Tyler Moore (who did all that) left the show-out of frustration.
