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.

I liked the Fantasy Island remake with Malcolm McDowell.

I know people liked the show. I was talking about among my cohort at the time (Washignton Elementary school, mostly boys, in Vancouver, Washington).

OMG I don't know what is more scary, that I can't think of what year the show was on or how old I was when it was on.....wishing it was elementary but I doubt it....

cirquelover~ I'm also glad to hear he was a nice man. He seemed like a real gentleman.

My parents had a Blue T-Top sunroof of this car. The windows didn't have the safety features that cars do now. My arm swelled up like a grapefruit because my mother didn't know I was resting it there.

Not too mention the Sunroof always leaked. The front end would raise up when we would "floor it" Not one of Chrysler's finest moments.

Sorry too see "Khan" go. May he rest in peace.
