RIP
Pernell Roberts
1928 - 2010

I suspect there's quite a Bonanza cast reunion going on in the Hereafter. Yeah, I know, he exited in the middle of the series, not a great career move, but back in the day, he and Lorne Greene, Dan Blocker and Michael Landon were one of the most memorable TV families of all time, certainly of the Golden Age of TV Westerns. (I *miss* westerns! What's happened to America that we've let our greatest genre fade away?!)

Trapper John, M.D., on Sunday nights. His co-star was the adorable Gregory Harrison, whose character lived in an RV in the hospital parking lot.

Yes, of course! That's when I fell in love with Gregory Harrison!!! How could I forget?? Then, he turned kind of schwarmy and I didn't care much for the "Lifetime -I am going to beat the hell out of you and I am a real creepy guy" type movies that he began doing.

That's just about every Lifetime movie ever! I think these days, they're just about the only ones doing made-for-TV movies, have you noticed? SyFy does miniseries events, another phenomenon that's fading away. The major networks, not so much any more.
