As did Yul Brenner before him.

I’ve always wondered why men go bald but grow hair everywhere else. 🤷‍♂️

There’s the episode of The Untouchables in which Savalas made a guest appearance some years before he adopted the shaved head look (did it for a movie role in the mid 1960s and decided to keep it). Needless to say, he was balding at that time as well.

The Matt Bass Scheme?

Not in my galaxy.

I keep reading that but that has to be a more recent requirement because Im not 6 feet and once upon a time was busy enough that I occasionally went into hiding.

Assuming you are old enough to get the reference...
Most men are Daffy Duck.
A very small number are naturally muscle beach duck and another small number become muscle duck through a great deal of effort.
I was post barbell to the head muscle duck naturally.

Since the surgeries Santa stops by occasionally to make fun of me because he knows I cant catch him. Maybe I do need a taller potion, have any in the 7 foot range?

Some guys rock it and some guys don’t have a head shape for it.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Don’t wash your hands with it.

I AM NOT BALD! My barber has lost his eyesight over the years. He always takes too much off of the top of my head and it makes me LOOK bald! That is my story and I’m stickin’ to it! ;-)

It was probably that one I am thinking of, as I saw a few bits of it some years back when it cropped up (miraculously) on a specialty channel up here. Looking at the IMDB, Telly did a couple of other episodes of that show. I remember also seeing him on The Fugitive as well.

So you’re telling me there’s still a chance

God created a few perfect heads. The rest He had to cover with hair

"Understanding how MCL-1 interacts with stress pathways and external signaling molecules such as ERBB may be critical in developing treatments that can prevent or reverse baldness."

So, someday I can restore my baldness by chugging a cocktail of MCL-1 and ERBB in my smoothy and I can have Kookie lend me his comb?

Ping ping....

The first thing they need to learn is how to prevent hair follicles from migrating to the nose, for Pete’s sake. And mine.

Dr. Wayne W. Dyer who used to be mistaken for Dr.Phil, asked how does my body know to make me bald but makes nose hairs and ear hairs grow even more as I got older?

He said to his barber: Since I only have a band of hair around the sides should you be giving me a discount for haircuts?

Barber: Actually I am giving you a discount. I’m charging you $5 for the haircut. The rest is my finder’s fee.

True, commenters on SF TV show sites have said if we had hair growth research making progress in the early 2000s, how come he wouldn’t have a full head of hair by the future date in the series?
