You might be surprised! Desi Arnaz Jr. appeared on Medical Center, Medical Story, Police Story (2 eps), The Streets of San Francisco, The Love Boat (2 eps), and Fantasy Island. He also starred in the short lived series Automan.

Lucie Arnaz appeared on Marcus Welby M.D., Fantasy Island, Murder She Wrote, Sons and Daughters, and Law and Order. She also starred in the short lived The Lucie Arnaz Show.

As for Gale Gordon He was a regular on the short lived Life With Lucy, played a recurring role on Brothers, and appeared in episodes of Hi Honey, I'm Home and The New Lassie.

Could I ask where you got the information that Gale Gordon had a recurring role on Brothers? I'm assuming you found that on imdb.com. This is the first I've ever heard of him appearing on that show, and I don't think that information is correct. I occasionally find errors on imdb.com, and I think this is one of those cases. A couple of the episodes imdb claims he was in I was able to track down on Youtube. I looked at them in their entirety and Gale Gordon was nowhere to be found, and he wasn't mentioned in the credits, either. I also noticed something curious about that imdb entry: it indicates that the character he played on that show was Harvey Box. Well many years earlier, Gale Gordon starred in another sitcom with a very similar title: The Brothers. It was a short-lived sitcom that ran during the 1956-57 season. And the name of the character he played on that sitcom? Harvey Box. I think imdb got a little mixed up and confused the two series. Unless someone can show me some proof he was on the 1980s series, Brothers, I'm going to assume he wasn't.

By the way, the character he played in his one-shot on Hi Honey, I'm Home was none other than Theodore J. Mooney. So on at least one occasion he did show up in a new show playing an old role, but I don't think Brothers was one of those instances.

One thing I always found interesting is that in The Burbs that Gale Gordon appears in, I believe it was on the TV or a shelf you can see a framed picture of a certain Redhead that we all know and love.
