in my last post I asked about a character in a tv show named Keto( possibly Kato), who lived under the stairs….. The show was from either the 50’s or 60’s.

I’m not sure if my last went through, so I’ll try again…..
does anyone remember the name of a tv show, from either the 50’s or the early 60’s with a character named Keto( possibly Kato). It was sort of a creepy show as this character used to live under the stairs!!
