I think Don Murray was hoping for more theatrical movies. This all happened after he made Endless Love with Brooke Shields. I think he made a mistake. He was great on KL.

But yea, KL lucked out because Kevin Dobson was great too and really if you think about it Gary and Val started out as the center of KL but as the series went on I think it changed to Mack and Karen.

Yes, Michele Lee really did become the backbone and moral compass of KL.

And, boy, did the audience get a good fake-out during the NEW! opening credits of the 3rd season as Don Murray appeared along with the rest of the stars "in alphabetical order" (for the first 2 shows) leaving us to believe he would survive and we would witness his slow recovery. So when he flatlined during surgery and Rev. Chang from All In The Family left him there in a crucificial position to "go tell the wife", it was a shocker as there was no internet or any other places that would have riddled us with spoilers at the time.

^ Yes, it sure was a lot easier to keep plotlines a secret in those pre-Internet days.
