Was Nancy Kulp really only in 11 episodes?! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

MyMovieRomance · 03-24-2013, 03:50 AM

I know that a few people around here have seen more than just the hand-full of public domain episodes that are for sale. So, to those of you who have, and to those of you who think you might know the answer to this, please tell me:

Was Nancy Kulp, who played bird-watcher, Pamela Livingsone(sp?) really only in 11 episodes of the show?!

According to IMDb, she only appeared in 11 episodes, but IMDb is wrong at times, and I'm hoping that this is one of those times, cause of the few episodes I've seen, she and Schultzy have been the real highlights of the show---esp. when they are both being funny at the same time! I'm not sure I would like the show so much without Nancy though.

How many episodes of t his show was Nancy Kulp really in? And, while I'm at it, about how many was Rose Marie really in? More than the 7 IMDb lists her with, I hope! Because part of the pleasure of LTB is that it had 3 of the funniest, most enjoyable character actresses ever, in one show together!

If somebody knows whether the IMDb numbers are correct or not, please let me know. Thanks!

I'm not sure how many eps Nancy Kulp was in but her character , Pamela Livingstone, was a recurring character not a regular so she wasn't in every ep.

It really is too bad that she wasn't a regular, because she was so great in the part of Pamela! I laugh myself silly over her! And, her chemistry with the rest of the cast seemed really good.

Nancy may be best-known as Jane Hathaway, on TBH, but I honestly believe that she was at her absolute best in LOVE THAT BOB. Thus, the fact that she wasn't a series regular in the way that Ann was is truly a shame.

That's my one real complaint with LTB, that it didn't use its brilliant cast of character-actresses (3, to be exact) more fully and more often.

You have to remember that the show was written as a starring part for Bob Cummings so naturally the writers were going to concentrate on writing for his character. I agree that they had an excellent supporting cast and the writers probably should have made more use of all of them by writing for their characters more.

Yes, it was definitely Bob's show. But, with such a great cast, this show would have benefited from being more like THE BRADY BUNCH, in the sense of having equal focus on everyone, more or less.

The comic ability of those 3 great character actresses along with the charm of Bob and the occasional quips of his nephew and sister would have made this a practically perfect show!

I'm not counting the Grandpa character though, cause he's the one that I think the show would have been wise to include less---WAY less!

Appearances in particular episodes need to be verified before they'll show up on IMDb. It's not a matter of being "wrong;" the information has to be available and then it's edited in by hand -- not by magic, as it seems that some expect!

The appearance numbers for particular actors will gradually grow as the info becomes available. Many series of the '50s and '60s had a lot of eps per season and it takes time to get them up to speed.

Well, that's what I'm hoping, that she was in way more episodes that just haven't been listed to her credits yet. Because probably the people who could input this info have not even seen the episodes that are listed. So, I really am hoping she was in more...
