I just loved his laugh!
Wasn't his name Morph??
I think Morph was the little clay man who stayed in a small box? His pet was a brush.
His name was "La Linia" it's french or spanish for "the line man" or something. Morph was the blue plasticine character who first appeared in Tony Hart's art program and then progressed on to his own show.
Yes, you're right Carl! Wonderful memories.

Author: Reginald D. Garrard from Camilla, GA
From David Dortort, one of the producers of the popular "Bonanza," "The High Chaparral" told the story of two families, The Cannons and The Montoyas, brought together by a marriage of convenience. Leif Ericson played "John Cannon," the patriarch of the family that lost his wife when they were making their way west. Linda Crystal played "Victoria," the headstrong daughter of Don Sebastian de Montoya (Frank Silvera) and brother to Don Sebastian's equally assertive son, Manolito (Henry Darrow). Mark Slade played John's son, "Blue," while perennial heavy Cameron Mitchell played John's brother "Buck." Rounding out the cast were frequent western performers Don Collier and Rodolfo Acosto.
What set the program apart from other "sagebrush sagas" of the period were its strong portrayals of Native Americans, as well as non-condescending looks at life among our Mexican neighbors. Set against the sprawling American southwest, the stories were engaging, filled with brilliant character studies, along with typical western situations.
It had a great casting coup by having black actor Frank Silvera assay the role of Don Sebastian. Silvera made a career out of playing a variety of "ethnicities," a tribute to his talent, as well as his "chameleon-like" appearance.
Another noteworthy bit of casting would be that of Crystal, Darrow, and Acosto, all Hispanic actors. "
