Did he do the Harpo/Lucy mirror routine with Fess Parker?

Younger posters may know it better--after this past Sunday
evening at 9/8 Central--as the Stewie/Adolf mirror routine. ;)

...I know I'm not the only person stifling a giggle at this show title. I know the first and third words aren't intended as epithets in this context, but I just got through watching a video of TunnelVision, so you'll understand where my funnybone is right now. A farming or gardening show, right?...
 
Don't know if Harpo did the mirror bit with Fess Parker.
He had enough trouble doing it with Lucy, since he was
on the opposite side of where he was when he and Groucho
first did the routine in "Duck Soup."

And "Spade And Hoe" was a farming show.
 
So, WMAZ didn't air Bonanza in color? I guess they didn't have the capibility to videotape in color, or maybe they couldn't broadcast in color at all...
 
I got a conflict in the listings over whether the
Alabama-Tennessee game was in color; the regular
listing said it was, but the "Close-Up" said it wasn't.
I mention this because it aired live on CBS and WMAZ
and, possibly, in color. My guess is that WMAZ didn't
have the ability to videotape in color; none of the
stations in that edition did local programs in color
in 1962.
