Dick Wilson is best remembered as Mr. Whipple in the Charmin Toilet Paper commercials. He frequently played drunks on TV shows, most notably "Bewitched."

"Point Me In The Direction of Albuquerque" remains one of the Partridge Family's most remembered songs. In fact, an entire episode was written around it!
