Y'all like him? Chuck doesn't get the respect he's due, I think. He's a remarkably talented man who's never quite been able to get past "cult favourite".

He did the voice of Ben Grimm on the early 90's Fantastic Four cartoon which is about to be released on DVD.....

Mr. McCann played an Oliver Hardy-lookalike assassin on a particularly gripping episode of "Matt Houston" when I was a kid.

He and his partner-in-crime (who looked like Stan Laurel -- I don't think that was a coincidence) had stationed themselves outside an elevator from which Matt was about to emerge. As the doors opened they got Matt in their sights and BA-KOW! BA-KOW! they opened fire.

SKRAASSH! Matt shattered before their very eyes! That's right -- knowing they were lying in wait, our wily hero had positioned a mirror at the far wall of the car, and it was Matt's reflection in the mirror they'd fired at!

Unharmed, Matt leapt from the car and beat the snot out of his attackers, one of whom -- as I mentioned above -- was Chuck McCann.

That Matt Houston -- what a great guy.

I rarely watched Matt Houston, but I saw every episode of Paradise, in which Lee Horsley played a former gunfighter who had to take care of his late sister's kids. It was only on for two or three years, but it was an excellent Western. The late 80s wasn't a good time for TV Westerns; any other decade I think it would have lasted a lot longer.

Plus, Sigrid Thornton was cute. :)

Didn't Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman have a pretty good run then or was that the early 90's??

It was not long afterwards, from 1993-1998. That was a pretty good show as well, even though it wasn't a traditional Western. It was interesting to watch the townspeople come together in a crisis even though they often had major disagreements amongst themselves.

PARADISE was very good.

MATT HOUSTON not so much.

Chuck McCann is an underrated comedy and voice man.

And that's the fact JACK!

I really liked Matt Houston.

Except in the second season when he gave away all his money and couldn't just solve crimes by buying all the witnesses...:(

We rented and watched The Aristocrats last night:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3234

As expected, it was funny and fascinating stuff, and there, right in the middle of the whole filthy, disgusting, hilarious thing was silver-haired Chuck McCann telling his version of "the joke". As one might expect, he was great!

Chuck McCann was that very ANNOYING neighbor in the Right Guard commercials. And I remember him in the Saturday morning tv show with Bob Denver, Far Out Space Nuts.

I watched all 3 of Lee Horsley's tv series (at least I only recall him in 3). My favorite was set in the 1700s, Hawkeye. Yes, I admit I watched it specifically because Lynda Carter was in it.

Yeah that was a real nice surprise in Aristocrats! Also, did you notice Larry Storch? God and here I thought he'd passed on! (had to explain who he was, and Chuck for that matter, to the Mrs. She's not as hip as we are!)

Storch WAS teriffic! I thought his use of an upper-crust British accent for the man expalining the act made the joke even funnier! :)

I just watched The Aristocrats as well. Chuck McCann's version of the joke was the only clean one in the bunch, and he's the only one who used the alternate punchline, "The Sophisticates." I'm kinda glad it never played around here, so I could watch the DVD. All the extras were great too.

I used to watch Far Out Space Nuts, *CHOKE*. Not good, but I always came back. As far as Larry Storch goes, it's not a good thing to be one of those "I thought you were dead" celebs.

Chuck McCann was in a movie called THEY WENT THATAWAY AND THATAWAY with Tim Conway that I saw when I was a wee one, and that I have many fond memories of.
