...didn't really start playing "Mr. Cheever" until the last season (1967-'68). It was a clever way of letting us know that Mr. Mooney could be bullied by someone even HIGHER than his position at the bank [just as he bullied Lucy]. Roberts could match Gale Gordon, bluster for bluster, when he had to {"MOONEY, YOU'RE FIRED!!"/"Mrs. Carmichael, YOU'RE fired!"/"You hear that, plant? I'm fired! W-a-a-a-h-h-h-h...."}.
