      You're the same age as Bill Bixby was when he died! Time flies! p.s. Read my comment above, about
      seeing Bill Bixby in person, when he played "The Incredible Hulk"! p.s. 1970 shows were better, then!

      I loved that show as well..one of my favourite episodes is when mariette hartley has a brain cancer or disease, and dr banner is intrigued by her nighttime disease destroying words of attack ,training her body to kill this inner demon..and of course he loved her, and that idea cuz of his secret very angry and distructive powerful inner being!!( p.s oooh the look when those eyes started to light up kinda green ..didn't they?? or was that my false memory?? lol so cool ..excitement!!

    In August 1977, my family & I were at Universal Studio, Calif. on a tram tour, when the driver asked
    everyone to be quiet, as we passed through an 'active shoot' of a brand new television show! We looked
    down to see Bill Bixby, waist deep in a large pool of water & the driver said that the show was to be
    called "The Incredible Hulk"! A month later, we saw this scene on t.v. as part of the pilot episode! R.I.P. Bill!

    Bill Bixby was a great actor and definitely needs a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I'm so proud of what Brandon Cruz has done to honor Bill Bixby and hope he's able to get that star for him. He should also have 1. I've been a big Brandon Cruz fan since Courtship of Eddie's Father premiered in 1969.

    I’m so proud of child actor Brandon Cruz from the TV show The courtship of Eddie’s Father doing his best to Go Fund Me and raise money for a star for Bill Bixby when he should have one anyway for all of his contributions and talents he bestowed in the TV and movie industry.Its a damn shame if you ask me why he doesn’t to this day have one!

    I remember watching The Courtship of Eddie's Father in syndicated reruns. He played a widower to a young son. He was the quintessential TV dad. His TV son Brandon Cruz was good friends until his passing. When Brandon Cruz had a son who he named Bixby in memory of his TV dad. The Magician TV show. He played a magician named Tony Blake, who used magic to solve crimes and to get out of predicaments. He should have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

    • @wardarcade7452
      @wardarcade7452 Месяц назад

      Yes, Brandon Cruz would name his firstborn son Lincoln Bixby Cruz (born 1995). Sadly not only had Bill outlived his only child but he himself was an only child and his mother Jane McFarland Bixby (1911-2008) outlived her family by many years. However Mr. Cruz made it a point to personally let Mrs. Bixby know that he WAS immortalizing their family via naming his own son that due to how important the late Mr. Bixby had been to him!

I look at it now and it’s so dated in someways, but it was a great show and I watched it with my family thanks for another great video, I hope he gets his star

    Wow I didn’t know any of this that is heartbreaking losing his child then wife only to remarry and pass from health complications
    I’ve always wondered why it takes so many years for people to revive a star on the walk of fame Actress Ming-Na Wen just received hers last year and she’s been an actress for since 1988 but didn’t become famous until 1993
    She’s now 60 going to be 61 this year
    I hope he gets his star it’s a shame they give the best years of their lives to the industry and they can’t even be properly honored

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVED Bill Bixby as Tom Corbett. He was the type of father I would have loved to have. I also LOVED Brandon Cruz as a son. He was a cool guy. I love the fact that they loved each other in real life and would do things together outside of the television schedule. 😊❤

      I saw Bill guesting on the Mike Douglas show and I'll never forget it. Bill described a scene in which Bill's character and Brandon's character were having a chat in the bathroom. Brandon was at the sink and Bill stepped out of the shower, and would shave at the mirror. Bill said that to make the scene more natural, he did the scene naked. I was a young teen at the time, and I wondered why would an actor would need to do that, and why would he tell that weird story to Mike and his audience.

    Hi Steve . Another great Video you've created here . After listening to you share Bill's History , he obviously did have quite a rough life in his earlier years . And then worse after his " Good " years . But I'm lucky because I remember quite well his years playing " Eddie's Father ".
    And I was always obsessed with The HULK !! A lot of us kids at School would spend a lot of time talking about Lou and his weight lifting .
    Any , I hope you're doing well Steve . And staying safe . I absolutely Love every single one of your Videos . That's probably because of it's obvious how much time and effort that you put in to create each one . See you next week Steve . Hope you're having fun creating the next great Video .
