Fred Rutherford is a dork - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I think Fred Rutherford was the biggest dork in the history of sitcoms! He was such a corn-ball and so self-centered. He thought his kids were so above-average (when Lumpy was so below-average, but Violet was OK). Ward was always so tolerant of him--I don't know why. Lumpy would goof up and Fred would tell him to "march right over to the Cleavers and apologize". What a nerd! I liked Richard Deacon's character on the Dick Van Dyke Show (Mel, Alan's brother-in-law) much better. He was very funny.

He's not so much a dork because he's not really smart enough. Screech and Steve Urkel are dorks. Fred is more of a dweeb. He is someone who is both uncool and dumb. I think dorks and dweebs are subsets of nerds.

I love Fred Rutherford--he has some funny jokes that make me want to laugh every time I hear them, even though I know what he's gonna say, since I've seen all the episodes over a thousand times!!

The detective finally located the house where he lived. He went up to the front door inquiring about the child star. His wife responded by telling the individual that he had the wrong house. She went back in and told Rusty the story. Rusty said to his wife that the detective was correct in his assumption. Flabbergasted, his wife asked, Well, why didn't you ever tell me about this? Rusty told her, it never came up in the conversation
