[net.tv] Life of Reilly

cherson@fsleng.DEC (04/12/85)

You're all wrong about Jackie Gleason.  He was the original Reilly for the firstseason of the show, 1949-50.  He played the character exactly as though he was
Ralph Kramden.  It was William Bendix who introduced a new "style" to Chester
A. Reilly.
