I'm sure he was a wonderful person but for me and my circle he was a symbol of schlock. I didn't know anybody at the time who would admit to liking Fantasy Island and while we all enjoyed Wrath of Khan his was a more comic character than I think was intended.

He, Captain Stubing, and Mr. T are, for me, the Trinity of bad TV from my childhood.

By Mark Evanier shared a pretty cool story about him yesterday.
