The Lucy Show
When "Dennis the Menace" ended in spring 1963, Gordon joined "The Lucy Show" as Mr. Mooney for the 1963-64 season. (In the interim, Charles Lane played the similar Mr. Barnsdahl character for the 1962-1963 season.) The somewhat portly Gordon was surprisingly adept at physical comedy and could do a perfect cartwheel; he did this on "The Lucy Show" and "Here's Lucy", and again as a guest on "The Dean Martin Show".
