Always love him on Match Game and his chemistry with Brett.

I remember him from an episode of The Mothers In Law. He was hilarious bouncing off of Kaye and Eve. RIP.

I think Scoey was sexy as hell in his youth. Love seeing him on Match Game reruns in his v-neck top, smoking and glowering at the contestants.

I’m very upset and feel terrible. I loved Scooby. Scrappy, not so much, but Scooby I adored.

He's one I only knew from Tattle Tales and Match Game. He apparently stayed married to his wife all this time, which is rare for a Tattle Tales couple.

Surprised he was still among the living.

I thought he spelled his name for a time with three "l"s at the end:

Scoey Mitchlll

Didn't realize he was that old.

That’s my memory, too, R10.

My youth - my youth - another tv staple of my childhood! RIP Scoey! Jo Ann Worley had better be taking care of herself!!

Wow! I hadn't thought about him in ages. Must have been a good guy since his seems to have been a scandal-free career and life.

Rest In Peace.

Handsome as heck. Liked him a lot on game shows and his guest appearances. Don't remember much from "Barefoot in the Park."

He had charm.

This episode of Match Game is from 1976. He was the last surviving celebrity. I didn’t think he was old enough to be in his 90s.

Alert: Episode includes Bonnie Franklin!

I lived through that era and watched those shows and I don't remember him at all. I know, thanks for the comment.

R10, you are not wrong:

[quote]Mitchell, who sometimes used the family spelling “Mitchlll,” already was familiar to TV viewers

I never knew that there was a TV version of Barefoot In The Park.

My mom always liked him.

r19 - My ninth grade English teacher either picked or had us choose (I don't remember which) one of the new shows of the season and review it. I had Barefoot in the Park.

They had TV shows back then?
