Im really starting to like Mushy

from Rawhide. He is part of the comedy element of Rawhide. In season 1, he didnt have loads of air-time, but season 2--is when you started having more character development. The episode where his mother comes to take him back home--priceless. He really started showing his comedy talent in season 3. The episode with Stephen McNally--his best so far.

BTW, James Murdoch is portrayed as a few years younger than the Rowdy Yates (Eastwood) in Rawhide, but actually less than a year younger than Eastwood. I think he died at age 50, in 1981?

I'd have to say Jennifer Gardner as Sydney Bristow in the ABC spy-action thriller Alias, which aired from 2001 to 2006. Please know I do believe the show is horribly produced and directed with some of the worst acting I've ever seen in my life! Still, she doesn't do too bad and with all of her provocative disguises, she's quite easy on the eyes. Then of course who doesn't like 'Alan Alda' as Captain Benjamin Franklin - Hawkeye Pierce from M*A*S*H. Then again, some of you younger folks may have no idea what I'm talking about. Hmm, I was actually 'young' when the show was current.

More faves and see if YOU can name em all?

I remember cooking a steak for actor Claude Akins when I was a Cheft at a restaurant in Oceanside, California. He called me out to give me specific instructions. He was with a gal as he removed one of those dark colored fancy cigarettes from a silver case. Even as a kid (I looked older than I was), I didn't think to ask for his autograph because I didn't want to come across as a typical fanboy.

I accidentallly met James Cagney wheen we were in California in 1981. He actually called me over to his table because I was too stupid to quit staring and actually approach him. He was at an outdoor Cafe drinking coffee. To shorten a story, I forgot to ask him forr his autograph there but, he did give me his actual home address and said if I wrote him a letter? he'd personalize a photo of him. A few months later--I sent that letter and got a signed personalized 8x10 photo of him. Sadly, a couple years later, one of my older brothers got pissed off with me for some reason, and threw my atuographed photo away.

This thread seems to have stalled out months ago, but I just found it and couldn`t resist... As you might guess from my profile picture, my favorite TV character going back to when I was a kid in the 80`s was Inspector Sledge Hammer...and he carried a Smith and Wesson! Come to think about it, the gun was really a costar and not only did Sledge talk to it, but it even talked back in one episode when everyone at the station was hallucinating due to some exotic contagious ailment.

I still remember the feeling of horror and disbelief I felt that fateful day in 1987 when I dutifully tuned in to the usual channel at the usual time to see my favorite show and it wasn`t there. A frantic search of the dial and the TV guide I ripped from the latest newspaper turned up nothing. It took a couple weeks since I didn`t have an internet to look it up on but the reality finally set in that the best show on television was cancelled and taken off the air.

Then along came Ebay and in around 2001 a cache of new old stock VHS sets of the entire season was unearthed and sold one at a time on the online auction...going for over $400 a set which, boys and girls, was a lot of money back in those days! Was it worth paying that much for my set? Oh yes...yes it was. Well, at least until the DVD sets came out a couple years later for $19.99 per season. And ya...I bought those too. "Trust me, I know what I`m doing..."
