[quote name=\'Matt Ottinger\' date=\'Jan 5 2004, 08:22 AM\'] My *memory* of Orson Bean on TTTT was as the occasional interloper on the 70s version, and in that role I remember him being very entertaining with his stories and his drawings on his vote cards. If he was on every day, though, I might have tired of the schtick a lot faster. [/quote]
Maybe it's just me, but I never thought of Mr. Bean (not to be confused with Rowan Atkinson) being all that annoying. I thought he was rather witty on TTTT9x, although I probably could've lived without the "trolling for more applause" bit before the next panelist emerged. Otherwise, I never had a problem with him.
