AS SEEN ON TV: BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

During the course of our nearly two week theme centered on the Cuban Missile Crisis, actor Tom Bosley passed away. He'll always be remembered as Howard Cunningham from 'Happy Days', but he also presented Toobworld with other lasting characters - Sheriff Amos Tupper from 'Murder, She Wrote', Father Dowling from 'The Father Dowling Mysteries', and over in the Tooniverse, as put-upon patriarch Harry Boyle in 'Wait 'Til Your Father Gets Home'.

But during the heyday of celebrations surrounding the American Bicentennial, he also played one of our Founding Fathers.....
