Needs more pretty
This front page is entirely too blank for my tastes. I gotta fix that. I'm sticking a bunch of stuff under a cut because this stuff is freaking huge, so beware if you get nosy: it's gonna take a while. At any rate, I present my latest obsession: Robert Fuller
I picked up this magazine on eBay. Lots of interesting pictures of him visiting Japan for the first time, in 1963 I believe. There were crowds everywhere - it was like a precursor to Beatlemania. He looked overwhelmed in several shots. Pleased as punch, but overwhelmed.
This is a publicity shot from the first season of his first major series, Laramie. Only he and the big blond guy (John Smith) made it through all four seasons of the show. The first season is my favorite, but I love the whole series.
This is a guest spot on another western, The Virginian. He played a pretty smarmy, self satisfied dude in this episode. But he was great to watch. And, yes, this is a picture of my television. I ain't got no shame. Sho don't.
This is from a television movie called Disaster on the Coastliner. HEH HEH HEH. His part is small here, but it's kinda glorious. He's the cheating husband of the female lead, and they get their wires crossed when she wants to see him, but he wants her to stay home (so he can get it on with some other chick), and he tries to get a train home to see his wife, but winds up on a hijacked train ZOMGZ. Meanwhile, his wife has been bamboozled into taking her trip to her husband, even though she didn't want to go, because the guy who's gonna save the day is a crook who needed an excuse to get on the train. HEH. This movie is so fucking ridiculous and cheesy and I love it. (The crooked hero, btw, is played by William Shatner. HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH.)
And then there's this. Ahhhh. This is from Emergency!, which is basically the only medical procedural I can tolerate, and that's because there's the extra added interest of firemen doing fireman (and then-brand new paramedic) things, and the fact that the show was based on and portrayed services provided by the County of Los Angeles, a former employer of mine. The medical stuff was only sorta accurate, because they were less interested in teaching medicine than moving a story along, but the county bureaucratic bullshit? OMFG SPOT ON. SO LEGIT. Some of the episodes involving staff meetings give me the heebie jeebies, because DAMMIT NO. Anyhoo, this was Robert Fuller's one lead television role. The show was on the air for six seasons, and his character, Dr. Brackett, was alternately a growling, grouchy mess, and a woobie little pile of goo. Just look at those eyebrows!!!
Actually, let's just have a whole bunch of pictures of Dr. Brackett. Because, really, he's true the reason I watch. Everything else is just gravy.
Okay. I think I'm done.
Guh. Now I'm done.
