The Don Ho Show Hoodies

This is my re-creation of a Don Ho Show logo circa 1971. The image was printed on posters, matchbooks, and tumbler glasses. The legendary artist performed several residencies in Oahu during his long career, and was considered a must-see attraction by vacationers for decades.

This is a multi-color version of my Don Ho Show design ( re-created from a 1971 logo) that makes for a great vacation shirt, tiki-party shirt, or just casual Friday wear.

Chris Hoffman does it again with this amazing Art of the TV sitcom Andy Griffith.

The Phil Silvers Show, originally titled You'll Never Get Rich, is a sitcom which ran on the CBS Television Network from 1955 to 1959. A pilot titled "Audition Show" was made in 1955, but it was never broadcast. 143 other episodes were broadcast – all half-an-hour long except for a 1959 one-hour live special. The series starred Phil Silvers as Master Sergeant Ernest G. Bilko of the United States Army.

The cousin of Gomer Pyle, Goober was initially often referred to by Gomer but never seen until his appearance in the episode "Fun Girls," which was the only Andy Griffith Show episode in which the two appeared together. Goober later appeared in an episode of Gomer Pyle, USMC.

Barney Fife, as we all know, is the greatest black and white television hero of classic family friendly cinema era. Played by the venerable Don Knotts, he had confidence and swagger in abundance. This is a demonstration....of that swagger. And a demonstration....of my pencil skills. Critiques are welcome, of course.

Hi Ho!

Does your boss trust you? Would he give you less than you needed to do a job? Maybe, like Barney, you're good and one bullet is all you need!

Gomer Pyle is a fictional character played by Jim Nabors and introduced in the middle of the third season of The Andy Griffith Show, A naïve and gentle auto mechanic, he became a recurring character in the January 1963 episode "Man in a Hurry"   Nabors played Pyle for 23 episodes, from 1962 to 1964. After two seasons on The Andy Griffith Show, the character was spun off to Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. in 1964 which ran until 1969.

According to Andy Griffith, the character of Barney Fife was suggested by Don Knotts himself. At the same time The Steve Allen Show was ending, Knotts was looking for work. When he saw the episode of The Danny Thomas Show featuring Andy Taylor, he called Griffith suggesting that his sheriff character might reasonably need a deputy. Griffith liked the idea and suggested that he call Executive Producer Sheldon Leonard. Griffith later recalled that Don Knotts' contribution was the show's saving grace because he was uncomfortable with the original concept to have Andy Taylor being the comic lead. In an interview with The Archive of American Television, Griffith admitted,

Bewitched was created by Sol Saks under executive producer Harry Ackerman and starred Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha Stephens, Dick York (1964–1969) as Darrin Stephens, and Agnes Moorehead as Endora, Samantha's mother. Dick Sargent replaced an ailing York for the final three seasons, 1969–1972.

Howard Terbell McNear (January 27, 1905 – January 3, 1969) was an American stage, screen, and radio character actor. In 1961, McNear was cast as the vague, chatty barber Floyd Lawson on The Andy Griffith Show. In 1963, he suffered a stroke that rendered most of the left side of his body paralyzed. He left the series for nearly a year and a half to recover. Andy Griffith asked McNear to return to the series. McNear agreed despite being unable to walk or stand, and the production crew accommodated him accordingly. Floyd was subsequently seen onscreen either seated or standing with support. Many scenes were shot with him sitting on a bench outside the barber shop, as opposed to trimming hair as before.
