I am trying to confirm the number of appearances this actress made on Danny's TV series, Make Room For Daddy. I have memory of three-----the episode where she arrived from Italy, The Frankie Laine Episode, and a third one where she was involved in some talent show at school and sang Wild Willie. Were there others?

Around 1956 the name of the show was changed from Make Room for Daddy to The Danny Thomas Show. Are you looking for appearances on his show under either name?
She was a "regular" in the 1959 season:

Are you looking for how many appearances she made on Thomas' show under either name?

Yes, I was looking for how many appearances Annette made on the Thomas series under either name, but I suspect most of them would have been made on the 2nd name for the show. Thank you very much.

The trivia lover in me gave it my best shot... but I could not come up with a number of episodes that she was in. I did find several sites calling her a "frequent guest"... so that, and her being called a "regular" in the '59 season, tells me definitely more than 3.
Sorry I couldn't help more :o

Thank you for your help. At least it will give me something to hunt for. Two of her episodes are already out on VHS, so I will just keeping looking and see if I can at least find the third one I know of. Anything over the three I remember will be a nice plus.

How is country singer Vince Smith associated with Annette Funicello?
