Gentle Ben (1967)


Family series starring Clint Howard
Year: 1967-1969
Year in film: 1960s
Country: USA
Who in bibs: Jerry /Jody 12-15, man
Available on DVD: yes
I own: no
Bib occurrence: low-
Rating:  7/10
Rating: *******
Comment: Ron Howard starring in at least 2 episodes 1967+1969. At least in 1 episode (maybe 1967, so around 12 or 13 yo) in light blue bibs and a red T-Shirt sitting in a tree. Another pic from this scene rear view appearing a bit darker denim bibs. Pic are from The Andy Griffith Show s8e1 in 1967, the same year looking quite similar.

How could I miss this? Salty (1973) is just on TV. Does anybody know Gentle Ben and can help? Both seasons are available on DVD. Is it worth buying? Clint is very young here, around 7 and even looking younger. I only know the remake.

I haven't found any clips showing Ron. Just a pic from Getty. Ron is handsome and appeared in many good movies and series, some are on my bedroom blog. He also appeared in The Waltons s2e18 in bibs, around 19 yo.

Rating 7 for now.

According IMDb (which is often wrong) he only appeared in 2 episodes. And according some stock pics, it must be s1e2 (s1e1 in Germany) as Jody. In s2e27 he appeared as another charater, school bully Jody, probably not in bibs. But maybe other characters? I have ordered this and soon will update this including new pics. Yes s1e2, also a man in bibs. 4 pics and more info on the update

Update: No more bibs scenes. Ron in tight faded regular jeans in the other episode.
