Default Remembering Bill Bixby (Favorite TV Series?)

Hard to believe that it's been 19 years since this beloved actor and director passed away. He was definitely one of my all-time favorites and you could always count on him to deliver a good performance no matter what he did. He was also quite good behind the camera as well.

I went with The Incredible Hulk

When I think about it, I think he died of a broken heart. His son died from an illness, and his first wife, Brenda Benet took her own life.

I haven't seen any of those shows. I am interested most in My Favorite Martian and Courtship of Eddie's Father.

I liked him in pretty much all his shows but if I had to pick just one it would be The Courtship of Eddie's Father.

The Hulk had the biggest impact on me; I guess I was the right age. Plus I think it lasted longer than any of the others and arguably gave Bixby the best chance to show his acting chops.

Great actor and great guy. I miss him a lot.

The Incredible Hulk, The Dukes of Hazzard and Dallas. That was great Friday lineup.

The Incredible Hulk, that's where I remember him from the most even though I saw all of the Goodnight, Beantown episodes. Plus I love TIH, it's one of my favorite TV shows. He was one of Hollywood's good guys and I miss him a lot.
