Just in time for Halloween! Here are a couple of captures from "The Addams Family Tree", aired 10/16/64

[Frank Nelson]

The first set of Addams Family DVD's have been released.

Frank sure managed to be involved with many classic TV programs. I wouldn't be surprised if he held the record for being in the most classic TV programs!

I don't know if he held any record, but he sure had the great profile for a supporting character actor as far as playing pompous authority figures for laughs..

An unofficial count has Nelson at 53 Prime Time TV credits, according to IMDB..18 for Jack Benny..11 I Love Lucy and 6 each for the Flintstonse and Sanford and Son..This doesnt include Saturday morning TV voices..Usual disclaimer..While the IMDB is pretty good..Its not always authoritative

I would have included it with the above message, but you can't edit posts it looks like

And, of course, there are his honorary appearances on The Simpsons.

And you can always count on a "Yyyyeeeeessssss???" on Mystery Science Theatre 3000 whenever someone matching his description appears in the movie they are riffing. (Along with a "It's the Jack Benny Show" comment every time an old radio is shown in closeup.)
