8/12 - certainly did not do him justice with that score. His Carol Burnett skits were hilarious and memorable, especially the Dentist
7 out of 12. Didn't know all the shows but Tim was a very funny man. Loved him as Mr. Parker on " McHale's Navy" and his " Dorf on Golf" video.
* When his Tim Conway Comedy Hour premiered in Autumn 1970 he predicted like his other shows it would fail & be cancelled so he did his Xmas episode with his wife & children on that September premiere. He was right. The show was cancelled after about 13 episodes & replaced with reruns of hour-long color Honeymooners reboot series with Sheila MacRae as Alice & Jane Keen as Trixie. ♣
How they left out the zany show that bared his name about a one plane cargo operation that was always on the verge of going under is beyond me. It co-stared McHale alum Joe Flynn. The show only lasted 12 eps so the show kinda paralleled the air cargo company portrayed in the show.
11 out of 12! Tim Conway was really one of the greatest!!! There's going to be a lot of laughter in Heaven!!! R.I.P.
9/12; missed Coach, 30 Rock and Rango. I was never much of a fan of Coach and 30 Rock. Never heard of Rango - I was only three years old when that show aired.
Technically, Conway's character on McHale's Navy was third in command. Capt. Bingampton, Lt.Cmdr. McHale and then the Ensign.
McHale would only have limited autonomy as a PT boat commander.

Look up Tim Conway in the Prison Warden sketch from The Hollywood Palace. You'll laugh till you cry.
