His name was originally Twatsy but they decided to change it right before they started filming.

Lucy was going to play Twatsy, but Gary Morton talked her out of it.

It was too bad because the Twatsy character was going to start a band and she had such a lovely singing voice.

I thought he was extremely cute on HD. Everything I’ve read about him suggests he’s a major entitled asshole.

Did anyone ever confirm what the "it" was one was supposed to sit upon as demanded on the show? I know it was a national catchphrase in the 70's but was the beginning of vulgarity on tv or...?

R19 I always assumed “sit on it” was akin to telling someone to shut up.

I think it was a TV-friendly way of saying shove it up your ass.

I always assumed "sit on it" meant you were essentially telling someone to sit on your middle finger. Maybe that's because the kids on the playground used to give the middle finger and say "sit on it." So to me, it always meant you were telling someone to shove something up their ass. Shut up makes far more sense in retrospect.

So maybe his catchphrase should've been "choke on it!"

He had a nice singing voice, I recall. I'm surprised he didn't do some musicals in summer stock or on the Kenley circuit during summer breaks from the show and after HD's run. I met someone who told me that Marion Ross was something of a diva, though.

Someone I met years ago told me that his father had been appearing Ms. Ross in summer stock and that she wasn't easy to get along with. I mean, it's also possible that it was the guy's father who was the diva, but I remembered the story anyway.

I was young in the 1970s and I thought Anson Williams was the cutest boy on the show, and I loved his singing voice. I had a crush on him. Then they did an episode where they all went to California so the Fonz could jump the shark, and all the boys were all wearing bathing suits on the beach. When I saw Potsie's sad chest, my fantasies wilted. He has a cute face, but no muscle tone, and his nipples were cross eyed. And I am a shallow and superficial homo who puts too much interest in physical appearance.

He was often a guest on The Gong Show. Once, a drag queen came on doing Lily Tomlin's Ernestine. Anson gonged him and when asked why he said "I love Anita Bryant".
