I was sad to hear the news today that Robert Culp passed away at the age of 79. I won’t attempt to write an obituary, or summarize the mans career, but I did enjoy his work and am always sad to hear when we lose yet another TV veteran.
The Greatest American Hero was a favorite of mine as a kid, and these days I love an old I Spy despite, or maybe because of, its age. Thankfully both shows are on Hulu, so if you don’t know the man you can sample much of his work there.
Just yesterday I watched him on of his many Columbo appearances, and by coincidence there was a Greatest American Hero marathon on the Syfy channel. He was good.
I caught a few of those Greatest American Hero episodes on the fourth. My memory is far kinder to that series than I realized.
