I met him at that "Lost In Space" Reunion Party in Boston back in 1995. R.I.P.

"Tufeld was the announcer for Allen's other TV shows, including "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea"* and "The Time Tunnel," ** and his narration and other voice-over work could be heard on an array of TV programs. He introduced many Walt Disney productions, notably the 1950s TV series "Zorro" *** and Disney's long-running prime-time anthology series."

...that the guy who says "A Warner Brothers Televison Production" was Dick Tufeld, but I don't think it was, although the voice see4ms familiar. Does anyone know who did the Warner Brothers intro?

Not me, and so just a guess from: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0540165/ over to: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0540165/fullcredits#cast of no "Narrator" credit, etc. = Wm. T. Orr ? the Executive Producer http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002861/ over to: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002861/bio = "William Orr is known to fans of 1950s and 1960s TV shows by the abbreviated but imposing credit of Wm. T. Orr seen at the END of every Warner Bros. show" including "F Troop". (emphasis ADDed.) Maybe his son, Gregory Orr,* http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0650555/ can answer your question. According to: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0650555/bio he lives somewhere in New York City.

I'm talking about the voice that says it's a Warner Brother's production. It's not Tufeld and I'm sure it's not Orr. Anybody kinow who it is?

If Clint Walker ever makes it to one of the Autumn signings for that outfit in Framingham, MAss. at The SHERATON HOTEL there on the north side of Route 9 I'll ask him and get back to you.

He sounds very familiar but I can't quite place it.
