And he also did The Challengers (1990-Dick Clark). [/quote]
Didn't Bob Hilton succeed MOrrow on the CHallengers later in the run? I know Hilton announced the 5/24/91 episode on the trading circuit.

Bob filled in for a weeks along the way but Don held the job right up until
the final episode. Forgot to mention that for the first eight weeks of the
newsmagazine Personalities, when Charlie Rose was hosting and
before it turned into tabloid garbage, Don announced on that show, too.

This was the early 60s original Camouflage, which by accounts on Usenet was far superior to the 1980 Barrisized remake most of us are more familiar with.

Wasn't Don THE Shell Answer Man? I recall the ads in the 1970s and 1980s where, via V.O., explained a certain information, then he stepped on camera to mention that the answers can be found in the latest booklet at Shell. Then, of course, a car crashes forward through the logo, with Don saying "Come To Shell For Answers", as the car drives away.
Anyone remember those ads. Until now, I didn't know that Don Morrow was the Shell Answer man (or at least, its voice), but I was very familiar with the Shell booklets we get at our local Shell gas station and in Reader's Digest. And of course, the accompanying ad campaign.
