Trouble is, he was on there a pretty fair amount and almost always in that seat, so it' probably hard to nail the episode down. I adored him so much.

He was sitting in the left-most end seat on the second tier (where male guest panelists often sat), and he made a raucous joke and jumped out of his chair for emphasis. His pants were clinging to that area of his body, and the bulge between his legs was quite considerable. I was definitely a fan of Gautier's after that.Calebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06005682325074308814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-16365791362620587752019-11-23T09:54:11.264-05:002019-11-23T09:54:11.264-05:00That publicity photo of him from ENSIGN PULVER...T...That publicity photo of him from ENSIGN PULVER...THOSE LEGS!😝2 Sticks of Butterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008596746483293542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-18471212016169663472018-10-26T16:33:47.493-04:002018-10-26T16:33:47.493-04:00Was just watching Dick Gautier on the very mid-80&...Was just watching Dick Gautier on the very mid-80's Password PLUS!(wow! tough bad hair-days, and shoulder pads under loud, floral prints for the ladies!) with the similarly attractive Bert Convy hosting. Both these guys were tall, dark and handsome but had great senses of humor that was special.They were both "versitile" in the show biz sense. And seemed like really nice oeople. I'd come home from Junior High and watch those campy shows: Tattletales and Match Game. Gene Rayburn, Brett Somners and Charles Nelson Reiley felt like my neighbors. Just found-out the perky, very funny Fannie Flagg is gay! You go girl!

It's also been neat to see hundreds of people coming to this post over the last few days to see and learn a little more about him. Suddenly his tribute is the 3rd most popular page, which is gratifying.

Thank you so much for your kind words and the (most welcome) information about Mr. Gautier and his relationship - so to speak - with his gay fans! I would love it if you showed him this post and got his reaction to it. I certainly went out of my way to find as many flattering photos of him as I could, so he might get a kick out of it on that score alone. I really appreciate your comment here.

I'm actually a granddaughter of Dick Gautier and I just want to say thank you for all of the information (& pictures I've never seen) on his career as he doesn't talk about it much now. I know he'd love this, he gets a kick out of knowing he was a first crush to many gays (he has "When I Knew" on his coffee table because he's featured). It's so nice to know his work is still being appreciated.<br />Much love!!(:Darby DiPietrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510224120055181452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-38182202470803256802013-03-28T13:50:39.376-04:002013-03-28T13:50:39.376-04:00Thanks all for the well wishes!

I had no idea what was happening but I did know it was being caused by Lyle.<br /><br />It's interesting so many of us fixated on small houses/ doll houses and dealt with it in so many different ways. I would be curious to know the psychological mechanisms behind it. It is more<br />than just coincidence.<br /><br />Big hugs all around. <br /><br />NotFelixUngerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04812102754911699275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-56972597694379649422013-03-28T08:12:31.945-04:002013-03-28T08:12:31.945-04:00God, I love hearing all of your own recollections ...God, I love hearing all of your own recollections and reactions to the subjects here. Fascinating stuff! <br /><br />NotFelix, through the cigarette smoke of that picture you mention, don't forget to notice his hairy thighs jutting out from that short swimsuit! ;-) Oh, and may I say that your life sounds like it is and always has been SO colorful!! Happy birthday to you!<br /><br />Like a couple of you, I also had a fascination with small dwellings. I think it was because, as a four year-old child of divorce, I had a lack of security for my environment and felt like a small, cramped place would be comforting to live in. To this day, I'll be driving along with a friend and see some teensy, but cute, cottage and say "I want to live there!" In actuality I don't, but I at least want to GO in there. I've also always loved those curved corner rooms on old houses with the turret things for a roof. LOL <br /><br />Ken, I need to see these Get Smart episodes!! I have a general aversion to Don Adams, but I'll suffer through for Hymie. Ha!<br /><br />Narciso, I wanted to mention, too, that I've been reading and enjoying your remarks on some of the older posts here, too. Thank you for your contributions! <br /><br />It looks like the three of you really WERE in the mood for a little Dick (Gautier)!

Dick Gautier's great com...You're right Ken. Dick Gautier's great comedic skill was to remain hunky and masculine in the middle of silly situations. Cary Grant was also like that... <br /><br />And I too remember those instinctive, clueless hard-ons when I was a kid. Isn't it funny that at age ten or eleven, I got excited whenever I watched Rock Hudson and Susan St. James as McMillan and Wife, cuddling and joking in bedroom scenes. How do wee little gay boys know these things? And James Farentino -- what a doll; mad crush at age twelve.<br /><br /><br />And NotFelix, I had a "small house" fixation too, thanks to the cabin in the Beverly Hillbillies opening credits. I spent most of my childhood making cardboard cabins in my backyard and imagining Max Baer Junior playing you know what with my you know what in our own little love nest. He was my childhood fixation. <br /><br />Even today, whenever I take drives into California's hinterland and see a little mountain cabin, I still get that romantic feeling. I've gone through plenty of Jethro's in my life, but I'm still looking.<br /><br />BTW NotFelix, I just turned fifty last Halloween. After five months of experience, it's not so bad. Happy Birthday, and I am certain we are all thankful and feel blessed that we're here. And look at Dick Gautier at 80-something. Growwwll.<br /><br /><br /><br />Narcisohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05145756558278365203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-34274948950674880312013-03-27T19:21:20.142-04:002013-03-27T19:21:20.142-04:00Very nice post about a first man-crush for many ga...Very nice post about a first man-crush for many gays of a certain age. I go back further than you, Poseidon, and I first developed a crush on Gautier when he co-starred on this rather goofy TV sitcom, "Mr. Terrific." he reminded me of James Farentino (another early heartthrob for me), only Gautier was this great physical comedian who was hunky and yet didn't shy away from looking silly.<br />Sorry for oversharing, but I got one of my earliest clueless hardons (clueless in that I didn't know why I responded so... instinctively) watching Gautier play Hymie the Robot on "Get Smart." As a robot who didn't know the difference between appropriate or inappropriate behavior, they frequently had scenes of him hugging, kissing, or behaving like a doting wife to Smart. I got excited!<br />Anyhow, I loved that you paid tribute to this very handsome 70s stalwart. Weel done, Poseidon!<br /><br />And to NotFelixUnger, whom I don't know but whose comments I've enjoyed for some time...Happy birthday!Ken Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940648971296673233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-45263347881931315432013-03-27T18:20:53.927-04:002013-03-27T18:20:53.927-04:00Oh, dear. So much to say on this one.
I think I r...Oh, dear. So much to say on this one.<br /><br />I think I recently offered to arm wrestle someone [no names be mentioned] for this guy. He is so not my regular type, but I think he is amazingly delicious. Those eyes, lips, chin, and body, too.<br /><br />I did not know his name but do remember seeing him on many TV shows I watched back in the day. I vaguely recall the Robin Hood show and I do think I watched it during its run. [Almost 40 years ago! Can you believe it?]<br /><br />My favorite picture of him in the piece is of him lighting a fag [err, "cigarette"] and staring at the camera. That is a wonderful picture that captures the personality and the moment.<br /><br />That 70s look of open-to-the-waist shirts and gold chains still does it for me. It reminds me of Harry Reems who just passed away. My parents had quite the collection and someone [again, no names be mentioned] dipped into the VHS cassettes on a regular basis!<br /><br />My favorite paragraph in the piece includes, "He also enjoyed making miniature furniture for use in dollhouses, which he constructed." <br /><br />As a child I was fascinated by super-heroes who could make themselves quite small: Shrinking Violet, The Atom, Yellow Jacket and The Wasp. My dream was to have a doll house [and recreational yacht!] that would fit within my room [and adjacent bathroom, as well.] <br /><br />Hate me now moment: my "first" looked very much like Dick. Only difference was he was covered in hair from stem to stern and at 6' 8", probably a lot taller. [Good times.] Of course, I dropped him for the captain of the football team in high school. [Yes, he still writes me. :-) ]<br /><br />Finally, I'm about to turn 46 in a couple of days. I want you guys to know it's a nice feeling knowing I'm not the only Mo in that age range that still has the stars of the 60s, 70s and 80s making an impression on his life.<br /><br />Which calls for a toast. Here's to another 46!<br />xxxooo<br />NotFelixUngerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04812102754911699275noreply@blogger.com
