taksraven Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 He was so prolific, there is a pretty good chance that you liked at least ONE of his shows. I loved the "Greatest American Hero", a great attempt at a different take on the traditional superhero tale..... Taksraven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanzerfan Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Hardcastle and McCormick was an alright show. My mom liked Wiseguy, but not as much as The Equalizer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercurial Morpheus Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 He wrote a lot of my favorite old shows, and I got a kick out of him opposite Nathan Fillion in an extra on the "Castle" DVD my sister has. He will be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be missed. Yeah, it was fun seeing him in Castle's poker game every once in a while A really nice touch, all those writers in a game together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
