John Forsythe moved on to some movies..the Glass Web, Captive City and one of my favorites, Escape from Fort Bravo. He also was in a movie that was not only odd for John Forsythe, but also odd for Alfred Hitchcock. It was called "the Trouble with Harry". It's about a dead body that keeps showing up and disappearing again.

I remember him in “Bachelor Father” years ago. His niece lived with him, and he had an Asian butler in that show.

That probably wuold be a politically incorrect show today. An Asian man in a sterotypical role, and a grown man living with his teenage niece? Just imagine the innuendo and jokes that would provoke nowadays.

Kookie, kookie, lend me your comb, Ed Burns.

Wow ... memory lane.

I thought it was Edward Zimbalist Jr, though, not Forsythe.

That was Efram Zimbalist, Jr., another good-looking guy with great hair who aged well.

Bachelor Father followed the adventures of Bentley Gregg, a wealthy bachelor attorney living in Beverly Hills who assumes the responsibility of raising his niece, Kelly (Noreen Corcoran), after her parents die in an automobile accident.[1] Other members of the Gregg household include houseboy Peter Tong (Sammee Tong), teenage neighbor and Kelly’s boyfriend, Howard Meechum (Jimmy Boyd) and Jasper, the dog.

One of my fave shows. That was truly the Golden Era of TV

I sat next to David Doyle at a Broadway show.At intermission
I asked him if the Angels were better looking in person.
He said-YES!
