Famous Pipe Dads
Robbie
smoking father figures of my childhood as my own father did not take up the
briar. I'm dating myself, but some I recall are:
Fred McMurray (My Three Sons, but he appeared elsewhere as a pipe smoking
dad)
Ward Cleaver
Norman Rockwell
Any more?? Any famous pipe smoking dads outside of the North American
cultural vacuum?

Bruce Dunphy
In the episode where "Lumpy's" dad, played by Richard Deacon, gives
Ward a huge meerschaum pipe from his travels abroad, I remember Ward
telling June something like: "What an odd gift! I don't even smoke."
[Later on, Larry and the Beaver try to smoke coffee in it creating all
manner of hijinx.]
But it could be that Ward wouldn't smoke a gaudy meerschaum.
Sorry to drag you good people through the mire of useless trivia, but
I was the kid most likely to answer the teacher's questions with a
fully raised, straining and waving hand. (Got beat up alot, too.)

Incorrect, my friend.
There is an episode in which Beaver was trying to avoid having his mom
give his teacher an embarassing picture of himself for the school mural.
During this whole episode, poor Ward is constantly trying to fix his
cigarette lighter. Beaver asks him what he's doing, and Ward replies "I've
got to fix my cigarette lighter, Beaver, it's been tasting off lately." My
take on this; naphtha makin his tabac taste naphthee.

But you could be right. No photos or direct evidence available. If he didn't
smoke a pipe, he definitely had "pipe smoking dad" karma.

if you were often wrong as you are this time you may need to rethink

Jim Anderson also smoked a pipe and later needed "a cup of sanka brand
decaffinated coffee" to attain the same state of calm.

In "Remo Williams: The ADventure Begins" he actually puffs his pipe a few time
while monitoring his computer bank. In the television show, he was the
grandfather whose widowed (or divorced) daughter moves back w/ her children. I
don't have the name but will post ASAP.
Ecolinks
I remember that show - his character's name was Gus Witherspoon but I can't
recall the name of the show.

Ken Burton
Noah Berry Jr. smoked a pipe as Jim Rockford's dad Rocky in the Rockford
Files
I believe Carl Betz who played Donna Reed's husband Dr. Stone in the
Donna Reed Show smoked a pipe.
Everybody in the Clampett Family on the Beverly Hillbillies smoked a
pipe. I think maybe a couple of Ellie Mae's critters smoked too !
Jim Backus as Thurston Howell III on Gilligan's Island.
Don't forget "Der Bingo" and Tennessee Ernie Ford. Both had TV shows.
Here a couple of "I think but not sure" pipe sightings: Ozzie Nelson,
Sebastian Cabot as Mr. French on Family Affair, Rod Serling,
William Conrad was a pipe smoker in real life
.did he smoke on Cannon ? I hear this guy could have been an ASPer if
he was around today.

I remember seeing "The Chief" on the old TV series Get Smart smoke a
pipe on the show.

Yes, William Conrad did smoke a pipe on Cannon. I remember watching
him while I was growing up, and always thought that I couldn't wait to
do that. Those were the days when you could actually see pipe smokers
on TV.

I saw every episode. Don't remember The Chief smoking a pipe. In one show,
however, he and Max go to London to confer with a British colleague who does
smoke a pipe. In fact, he smokes it in the presence of Max and The Chief when
they're under the Cone of Silence. Max and The Chief nearly suffocate until
the latter angrily aborts the clandestine conference. This would suggest that
he's adverse to pipe smoking. After all, wouldn't you relish being under the
Cone of Silence with a pipe smoker?
