Shelly Fabares was in the 1971 TV movie "Brian's Song" playing Joy Piccolo, the wife of Brian Piccolo (who was played by James Caan).

Shelley played Brian Keith's daughter on 'The Brian Keith Show' for two seasons.

I vaguely remember Paul guest starring on 'The Big Valley'. The episode had something to do with Victroia, Audra and stagecoach robbers.

Carl did an episode of 'Love, American Style' with a young Harrison Ford.

I've always wanted to see 'Judd, for the Defense'.

Paul Petersen did some singing for a while and was even on Motown (of all places). He cut the original version of "Chained" in 1967 (before Marvin Gaye had a hit with it), and the next year did a tune for Motown called "A Little Bit For Sandy", that was a hit in Australia.

Shelley Fabares also guested on Daniel Boone. Singer John Davidson played her love interest.

biffbronson · 02-12-2011, 11:11 AM

I've seen that Daniel Boone episode -- Shelley looked beautiful!

Carl Betz went on to perform in episodes of the Quinn Martin shows -- either Cannon or Streets of San Francisco or both, I can't remember. And he played a bad guy on at least one occasion!

Paul Petersen on My Three Sons: When Steve honeymoons with Barbara in Mexico, Paul plays one of the other new (younger) husbands (1969).

Paul also did an episode of 'Love American Style' with Meredith MacRae.In the episode, Paul was going to marry Meredith and her parents were nudists.

And remember "The Practice"?No,not the ABC courtroom drama,but the NBC comedy series of the 1970's that starred the late Danny Thomas as Dr.Jules Bedford and co-starred Shelley Fabares as his daughter-in-law.

treky · 02-13-2011, 01:32 AM

Shelly Fabraes played the sister-in-law of Danny Thomases character on a short lived sitcom on NBC in the 70s (I forget the name of it) where Danny Thomas played a doctor.
She also played herself in one or two scenes in a TV movie about Annette Funicello in 1993 or 94.

And the late Carl Betz starred in an episode of 1973-1974's very short-lived (it was cancelled at midseason)"The New Perry Mason"reboot episode "The Case of the Spurious Spouse"and was one of the few actors who also co-starred in an episode of the classic ORIGINAL "Perry Mason".Did he do any other comedies besides "Love,American Style" in the 1970's?

Paul played a newly-enlisted soldier in that episode -- Audra had witnessed a multiple murder, and the experience left her so shocked that she couldn't speak and was in sort of a stupor. While riding on the stage with Victoria, men behind the murders were out to kill Audra and were following. Paul's character defends, calling Audra the most beautiful thing he'd seen.

Paul also guested on The Flying Nun as a rock musician.

Oh, yes. Now I remember that 'Big Valley' episode. Thanks, Biff.

Shelly Fabares had a pretty good role in "One Day at a Time". Paul Petersen guested in a later season episode of "My Three Sons".
