There were several with the adults, too. Jean Vander Pyl, Jess Kirkpatrick, Wendell Holmes, Bartlett Robinson, John Hoyt, Marjorie Reynolds. And with them there are probably more, too.

The one I didn't get was Veronica Cartwright--she was fairly established as Violet Rutherford. There was no need to establish a new character in Peggy MacIntosh. The episode with the dance/two dates would have been just as good with Violet.

Eddie Haskell's father.

Karl Swenson (George Haskell)
John Alvin (Frank Haskell)
George Petrie (George Haskell)

I thought Karl Swenson was perfect as Eddie's dad.

George Petrie was on 14 of the original 39 episode "Honeymooners." Could you imagine if they tried to replace Fred Rutherford (Richard Deacon)? It wouldn't fly. Couldn't be done.
