Our pic today is another from “Fire Man,” the episode of The Greatest American Hero that first aired on May 6, 1981. Crooked auto yard owner Cameron is laying down the law to our hero (William Katt).
This was the first of two episodes of this enjoyable superhero series in which Timothy appears. I must say I am digging his eyebrows here. Leave it to Tim to always try to make his characters stand out, in whatever way he could.
Our video this week is a full-length episode of The Greatest American Hero, “The Resurrection of Carlini”. It was first broadcast on November 19, 1982. Timothy is great as Blanchard, the slightly deranged assistant of the late great magician Carlini.
Again, it’s Hulu, so sorry about the ads. Enjoy!
Today we take another look at Blanchard, the unhinged magician’s assistant of “The Resurrection of Carlini,” the episode of The Greatest American Hero that first aired on November 19, 1982. He is being questioned by the cops, and is, predictably, not being very forthcoming.
Directing this episode was veteran television producer and director Arnold Laven, one of the co-founders of the Levy-Gardner-Laven production company. He produced Tim’s episode of The Big Valley, “Teacher of Outlaws” (2.2.66), directed by Michael Ritchie.
Our video this week is the first of two episodes of The Greatest American Hero in which Timothy appears. It’s “Fire Man,” and it was first broadcast on May 6, 1981. He portrays crooked auto yard manager Cameron, a fellow with a nasty disposition and interesting eyebrows. He first appears at about the 19 minute mark.
Again, it’s Hulu, so I apologize in advance for the ads. As I believe I’ve mentioned before, this episode was directed by Gabrielle Beaumont, who holds the distinction of being the first female director in the Star Trek franchise. Engage!
Thanks once again to the fine folks at Hulu, our video of the week is the full-length episode of The Greatest American Hero known as “The Resurrection of Carlini.” It was first broadcast on November 19, 1982. Timothy is super-great as Blanchard, the former magician’s assistant who has a tenuous grasp on reality.
Also appearing here is the great Ferdy Mayne, unforgettable as Count von Krolock in Roman Polanski‘s The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967). He has also apparently inspired a rock band.
Today’s pic is yet another from “The Resurrection of Carlini,” the episode of The Greatest American Hero that was first aired on November 19, 1982. Timothy is Blanchard, the slightly unhinged assistant of the late great magician Carlini.
This rather silly but enjoyable series has been out on DVD for quite some time, so check out this episode and the other one Tim appears in, “Fire Man” (5.6.81).
We close the week with another look at Cameron, the under-handed auto yard operator from “Fire Man,” the episode of The Greatest American Hero that first graced television screens on May 6, 1981. Garage doors are opening and closing all by themselves and Cameron is totally flummoxed.
This and the other episode of the series Timothy appears in, “The Resurrection of Carlini” (11.19.82), are both available on DVD and on Amazon Instant Video, so check ’em out today!
This week’s video is an excerpt from “Fire Man,” the episode of The Greatest American Hero that was first broadcast on May 6,1981. Timothy is shady auto yard proprietor Cameron, who takes great pleasure in throwing our hero (William Katt) off his property.
Tim appears in part 3 as well, so don’t miss! Sorry about the Portuguese subtitles (I really want to learn that language someday). It’s worth noting that this episode was directed by Gabrielle Beaumont, the first female director in the Star Trek universe.
We continue our “scary shots for Halloween” theme with this great one from “The Resurrection of Carlini,” the episode of The Greatest American Hero that debuted on November 19, 1982. The late magician Carlini’s deranged assistant Blanchard is hiding from our heroes.
This shot shows off three of Tim’s greatest attributes – his hair, his forehead, and his eyes. Approach at your peril!
On a more serious note, our hearts and prayers are with all of those devastated by the effects of Hurricane Sandy, and those assisting with the relief efforts. Stay strong – help is on the way.
Today we take another look at “The Resurrection of Carlini,” the episode of The Greatest American Hero that first aired on November 19, 1982. Blanchard, the late magician Carlini’s slightly deranged assistant, is attempting his getaway.
Also appearing in this episode is the great Andrew Robinson, so memorable in Dirty Harry (1971), Hellraiser (1987) and as Liberace in the 1988 TV movie of the same name. Trekkies will also recognize him from his recurring role as the Cardassian Elim Garak in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
