Unseen Characters
The following list is a fun list I've put together of Characters Mentioned but Never Seen on TAGS. It was made completely through observation, and comes from the Black and White shows except for a few episodes marked with a (C)for color episodes. This list is far from being completely accurate, and some spelling errors may be found. Enjoy! --Keith Brown
