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

I know pretty clearly that my post said that I indeed did like him. In the day. Even recently.

I don't care for Mr. T.. Capt. Stubing was a lukewarm character. Likeable but boring.

Back in the day, I don't recall discussing t.v. with peers. It was more something I enjoyed with my family.
