Quest for Frank Nelson

As soon as I saw Costingtons tonight, I expected they'd show the Frank Nelson-based character. Using Tivo I have searched for old programs that might show him saying the "y-y-y-e-e-e-s-s-s" line. My quest is to find it to show it to my son - I'm old enough to remember Frank on the Jack Benny Show. So far I have Tivo'd a few I Love Lucy shows with Frank, but not yet one with him doing the classic "y-y-y-e-e-e-s-s-s line. Does anyone have a source? I wonder if Frank did radio?

Yeah, one does wonder if the Jack Benny show was ever on the radio...

Yes, he did radio and was also a voiceover on the early 1960's UPA Mr. Magoo and Dick Tracy tv cartoons.

Magoo

And The Flintstones. He appears on a handful of episodes on the just-released DVD set.

But that's not the real Frank Nelson.

He appeared in several episodes of Sanford and Son. Wouldn't you know that TV Land has stopped showing it.

I have several Jack Benny shows with him doing "yes-s-s-s--s--s." If I can find it, I'll post a snippet on the Web.

Ah. I misread the original post; I thought the OP was looking for a simpsons clip. Oh well. Jason

If by "he" you mean Dan Castellaneta, then you'd be right...
