NO!!  I did not!!!

And I just read the other thread where you list all the 'episodes' you've taped of various shows in which he appeared.  

If I weren't already slightly green with what-ever-the-heck-I've-come-down-with....I'd be pea-green with envy!!!!!!!  :'(

8)What did you guys think of John Karlen on Shazam? It was filmed in 1974. I thought he did a good job. The story had a very very important moral . There are many ways to do something. ::)Paul

I really enjoyed watching that episode. John Karlen played a cowboy-typed guy named Nick in that episode where they getting the animal law changed. Great performance by Mr. Karlen.

I also to mention that I was surprised to see Denis Patrick (DS' Jason McGure) in a clip with Susan Surrandon in the 1970 R-Rated movie "JOE" when they showed Susan Surrandon's bio on A&E's Biography.

Best Wishes :)

I loved the movie Joe, it is one of my favorites. Dennis Patrick did not crack a smile in the whole movie. I felt so sorry for him in the movie. His performance deserved an Academy Award. I felt complete sympathy for him in every scene. He was the oppisite of Jason McGuire in every way. 8)Paul

I thought the show itself was OK. Waaayyy to kitschy, and I like kitschy shows, LOL. But then again it was one of those Saturday Morning Shows done by the same people behind the Partridge Family and Brady Bunch cartoons. I thought John Karlen was very good in it. Below is a capture from it. I posted five more in the Members' Archive. They can also be seen at http://www1.netzany.com/dscollins/ShazamKarlen/

I couldn't stand the girl either. She is one of the most irritating actresses in television history. She played the voice of Lucy in Charlie Brown years ago and was in an episode of The Brady Bunch. :Paul

Paul,

   The article is about the "Joe" character but shows a pix of Dennis Patrick. He isn't mentioned in the article. Thought you might like to read it.

Thank you VWR!!!

I don't think I've ever even IMAGINED JK in a cowboy hat, much less actually seen it!!! [lghy]  Though I wonder how the Brooklyn Boy ever pulled it off without hysterics!?

Is it just me or is his hair blonder here than it ever was on DS?

Maybe he was trying for that Southern California surfer dude Beach Boy look that was popular at the time.  What a change for a New Yorker! But great for us JK fans. ;)
