Correction: It was Francis the talking mule most with Donald O'Connor. Add Alan young to the list of those I did not know were still with us till now.

Yes, it was Francis the Talking Mule and I do remember that  - I saw it at the movies actually.

William Schallert, who played Patty Duke's father, did die recently.  He was in a lot of things as a character actor.

I remember it and the theme song very well!

Yes - I remember watching this show when I was a kid!  Now I have that song in my head too!!!

Also  the actor who played Patty Dukke's father on her show passed away last week.  He was 93 I think.

Yes, he was 93.  Gosh, I had to look him up as I thought he had died years ago.

@Pearlee, @Suziepeach, @Winifred, OH! Francis the talking MULE! Lol! I was four or five, my memory failed me!

Speaking of mules, I even remember one of our U.S. presidents when he used to advertise 20 Mule Team Borax on TV!

You can still see Mr. Ed and My Mother the Car on Antenna TV.

That's so sad. I feel like more and more of the good things of my youth are being chipped away and gone!  He always seemed like such a nice person.
