Those are both correct, but I've once again accidentally confused you with a vintage American TV character.

Theodore J. Mooney was the banker/boss on Lucille Ball's second comedy series "The Lucy Show" in the mid and late 1960s.

Thank you.
I could never get my head round the Lucy Show. The image quality was ghastly and the 'mechanical' laughter made my head ache.
Why was it not shot in colour ?

Her original show (I Love Lucy) only ran from 1951-1957 which was before color television was considered commercially viable in the USA. It was also during the time where broadcast TV was just getting a foothold. We would literally watch anything. By today's standards, it is pretty cheesy.

The second show (The Lucy Show) ran from 1962-1968 and other than the first season, all the episodes were in color.

Think I've done that... Come darn close, anyway, several times.

I have one remaining grandparent in their 80s, & literally can't count how many times I may have scared them to death by having them almost witness mine.

Not a 50 Cent fan (though I have little doubt his bank balance is roughly that amount right now), but would love to meet him & correct his "_ or _" phrase, as I think I've done both, maybe simultaneously.

One more thing... Wheel of Fortune Before & After:

"Mooney" portrayer & tornado survivor = Dorothy Gale Gordon.
