Just a tidbit of information.
As many of you may know Asher was married to "Bewitched" star Liz Montgomery for many years. What a lot of people might not known that, according to Wikipedia, Montgomery broke up the marriage by leaving Asher for another actor.

Asher/Montgomery were known to have social consciences in Hollywood. Very progressive. They used a lot of actors & staff that no one else would use - either because of their reputation or they were blacklisted.
...as did John Frankenheimer. In Seconds, his 1966 theatrical film, he used three actors -- Will Geer, Jeff Corey and star John Randolph -- who had been blacklisted after working with Frankenheimer in TV productions. In fact, Randolph was the last of the surviving McCarthy Era blacklistees to find work in Hollywood...
Asher's first TV work was as director of "I Love Lucy", where he directed most of the episodes from 1953 onward.
