Talk:Bill Mumy

message: Hey, I have done a clean-up in order to give the article a little more form to work with.
The bio box, bio headers, rearranging some things--nothing was actually deleted; just shuffled around.
Information is still needed--who is tending this page?
Information can be put in better chronological order; elaborated on; quotes added; filmography boxed, etc. Adopt it full-time for a week. I'll be glad to help.
There should be a chapter/paragraph with MUCH more each on Lost in Space, Dear Brigitte, Twilight Zone, etc. MUCH more on his recent TV. Plus a representitive TV appearance list.
Clean it up and get it rated. My last Wiki actor bio got an "A" rating; there's not too many of those out there. Mumy deserves as much.
Wiki is an encyclopedia, so it's "Mumy", not "Bill".
Mumy has it both ways; he was a hit when he was my age growing up, and now he is as hip as ever with today's kids.

thread_title: Bill Mumy Clean-up

message: I was planning to box Mumy's filmography--select, of course--using all of his motion pictures and some of his TV work with a link to his complete filmography at IMDB. (400 TV appearances!!!) This would look a lot better, and make space for a photo or two.
Does anyone have a problem with that?

thread_title:  Mumy Select Filmography 

message: I've started the process this evening.
I've gotten all of his films listed.
His important TV work should be next (Twilight Zone, Bewitched, Munsters, Lost in Spece,  Babylon 5 and Star Trek)--maybe tomorrow night, unless anyone else would like a try.
Meanwhile, the Bio chapters are also in desperate need of expansion.

Chorus:
Fish heads, fish heads,
Roly-poly fish heads.
Fish heads, fish heads,
Eat them up, yum.(2X)
In the morning,
Laughing, happy fish heads.
In the evening,
Floating in the soup.(Chorus)
Ask a fish head
Anything you want to.
They won't answer.  
They can't talk.(Chorus)
I took a fish head 
Out to see a movie.
Didn't have to pay to 
Get it in.(Chorus)
They can't play baseball,
They don't wear sweaters,
They're not good dancers,
They don't play drums.(Chorus)
(bridge)
Roly-poly fish heads are never seen drinking capuccino in Italian restaurants with Oriental women…yeah…
Chorus (4X)(after 2nd:) Yum! 
(4th: a cappella) (end:) Yeah!

message: I was just reading Bill Mumy's bio and came across the following:
"Mumy's friendship with Jonathan Harris began in 1965, when they worked together on Lost In Space. The two had a wonderful chemistry on the set and shared a true devotion off the set. With Sam's car accident and death in 1977, Harris's friendship strengthened with Mumy, as their relationship would grow even stronger."
Who is Sam?

replies: text: yes, i came across that the other day and was just as baffled. since the entire paragraph is unsourced, i'm wondering if it should just be pulled? --emerson7 | Talk 19:44, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Does the last parenthesis mean that Mumy was a fan of Williams, not Harris, contrary to what Tocquigny said? Or what? —Tamfang (talk) 03:16, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Out of curiosity because “Mumy” seems to be such an unusual name, especially for such a short one, I asked him on his guest book at his official website what ethnicity is his name.  He answered Pennsylvania Dutch but seemed to know no other information.  (“Pennsylvania Dutch” usually refers to Mennonite or Amish Germans (or Swiss-Germans) who originally settled in the Lancaster County area of Pennsylvania.  (“Dutch” was a corruption of “Deutsch.”))   Since the ethnicity of the subjects of many celebrity articles is noted, I thought someone might add this after the information regarding who his father is and add a link to his website.  I’m not good at sourcing links.
Also, it might be noted towards the beginning of the article that the family pronounces the name “Moo’me.”  It’s the bane of his existence that so many pronounce it as he were a long deceased Egyptian potentate.HistoryBuff14 (talk) 14:32, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

message: What on Earth is a pitchman? Is this some peculiarity from American English usage? Because not even Wikipedia seems to know: I was directed to Hawker (trade), Sales presentation and Pitch and putt as equally dubious possibilities.
