Harriet on Father Dowling Mysteries? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Was Harriet on an episode of "Father Dowling Mysteries" with granddaughter, Tracy? I've searched but can't seem to find anything on Youtube. It seems like she was...but that was the late 80's or very early 90's. Does anyone remember?

Yes, that episode was "The Man Who Came to Dinner Mystery" that aired in 1989.

Harriet played "Sister Agnes" and this was actually her final tv appearance.

Yes, I remember seeing that episode. All I remember about it now (I think) is Harriet and Tracy sitting at a kitchen table with Harriet snapping beans (or something like that).

Thanks, guys!!

I hope it eventually comes out on DVD.

I remember that episode. I remember Harriet as Sister Agnes spent a lot of time in the kitchen. She and the other older nun (Mary Wickes) were drunk. I think they were drinking rum while making Rum Cake.

IMHO of Ricky Dave Ozzie and herself, I thought she was the best actor. I always thought Harriet had an exquisite sense of timing. I hope I get a chance to watch this - it'd be fun to see Harriet in a different forum. Bet she was grand!

Man I loved this show and I do remember that episode. Hopefully it'll come out on DVD.

I think you're right. That sounds familiar.

If I remember right, both Harriet and Mary Wickes do not say anything during that scene.

That was a great episode that I'd like to have in my collection. I'm also trying to find "High School USA" with Rick and Harriet from 1984 - not to be confused with the tv movie of the same name that David made a cameo in, circa 1983.
