Frank Watanabe and the Honorable Archie
Robert Farrell
Frank Watanabe & The Honorable Archie, sometimes called simply "Frank and Archie", featured the life and adventures of the world traveling duo. Frank Watanabe was a Japanese-American houseboy, and the program is known for its stereotypical dialogue and accents that may make modern listeners cringe.
The show starred Eddie Holden as Frank Watanabe, who is best known for his voice-over work in animated films, and Reginald Sharland. Sponsored by Grayco Ties, the series was one of the first to feature Japanese characters, showcasing the duo's adventures as they traveled around the world.
