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.
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!
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.
Sorry I missed yesterday! I think posting will be going to almost every day for a while, as work on the book is starting to take up more of my time these days (woo-hoo!). But for today, we take another look at “Fire Man,” the episode of The Greatest American Hero that first aired on May 6, 1981. Shady auto yard operator Cameron and his sidekick are skeptical of the motives behind the appearance of a nosy Ralph Hanley (William Katt).
They are about to rather forcefully remove Hanley from the premises, but he will be back (wearing red tights). Timothy made another memorable appearance on Hero the following year in the episode “The Resurrection of Carlini” (11/19/82).
Our pic of the day takes another look at The Greatest American Hero third season episode “The Resurrection of Carlini,” first broadcast on November 19, 1982. Tim is the late magician Carlini’s assistant Blanchard, who, well let’s just say he has some issues.
Timothy’s two appearances on Hero are readily available on video and definitely the bright spots of each episode, so check them out today, won’t you?
Our Pic of the Day for today is from the second of Tim’s appearances on The Greatest American Hero. The episode is “The Resurrection of Carlini,” which first aired on November 19, 1982. He portrays Blanchard, the late great magician Carlini’s former assistant, who is keeping the spirit of his boss alive in a rather creepy way.
They should have tried to get this one aired closer to Halloween; it would have fit right in! Tim was a big fan of Halloween, by the way.
