You can't get a boatwreck on another planet from a simple 3 hour tour.

That requires mistaking a "Launch" button for LUNCH.

So many of you have written in asking about "Far Out Space Nuts", it amazes me. After all, we only filmed 16 episodes in 1975. The show starred Chuck McCann and myself and was meant to be a Saturday morning show with live actors rather than a cartoon. Sometimes it was a little hard to tell the difference.

We had monsters from outer space on almost every show, and these monsters were played by some VERY good actors. One in particular stands out in my mind - John Carradine, an actor whose career spanned generations, a classic actor in every sense of the word. In our first scene together, he had a long speech and when he was finished, I just stood there, mesmerized. His pronunciation, his distinctive voice, his presence, the way the words came tripping off his tongue, left me speechless. On take two, I finally got my lines out and realized I was just a beginner, had a long way to go. I guess the old adage, "There are no small parts" is true.

John Carradine showed me that.
