We've lost another great one. Darren McGavin has died of natural casuses at 83.

And always remember, when it says "Fragile," it's pronounced "FRA-GEE-LAY" and it comes from Italy.

I saw that news article yesterday. I remember him first from watching Kolchak in my early 20s, another before its' time show. And oddly I just got the DVD collection for Xmas. So me and the wife watched an episode last night. Funny thing is how I am getting her interested in watching so many shows from my youth and she really enjoys them now. Early Universal monster movies, Kolchak, Star Treks, Eerie Indiana, etc. You reach that age I guess where you reach for fun things from your youth. Recapture a great time of your life in my case.

With the death of Don Knotts, this seems to be a bad week for older generation actors.

I enjoyed all those actors works. Sad to see so many people that have entertained me over the years passing away.

Guess it means I am quietly slipping into dotage myself...

Night stalker series. I have all that were made and still would like see more of them. Heaven or the other place will have great bands and even better B-movies;)

the gleem in his eye when he pulled the famous "Leg lamp" out"? :O

It cracks me up that you can still buy them on the net. :D

For some reason I seem to recall that he did and I always enjoyed most anything he appeared in.

If they pronounce it FRA-JEEL, then its from France.

That was Stacy Keach that played Hammer.

Used to like that show too.

(unless of course this was a remake of an older program)

I have never read any of the books this was based on. More of a sci fi kind of guy (go figure) :P

It was in the late fifties or early sixties. It only ran for a season or two at the most. What you never read any Spillane??? That was real racy stuff for a highschool kid in the fifties.

I was thinking of Gavin McCloud. I'm thinking BFilm really has some weird things going on if he's some sort of huge Love Boat fan.
