Let's not forget his TV series, "The Man With a Camera", which ran from '58 to'60.

The main distinction of that program, as I recall it (quite apart from the estimable Mr. Bronson!), was that it had one sponsor (Sylvania Blue Dot Flash Bulbs, believe it or not!), and had one ad at the start of the show, and another at the end. It was commercial-free TV, and that maybe why it finally went off the air. (Switching it from Friday nights (at 9 PM) to Mondays (at 10:30 PM) didn't help either...

Why don't they have shows (and stars) like that on any more?

Just wondering...

CA....

In the early days, Bronson did quite a bit of TV work.

He was in an extremely memorable Twilight Zone with Elizabeth Montgomery (also passed now). He talked, she didn't, and there weren't any other characters that I remember (been a while since I saw it).

Bronson played the toughest of the tough, but always came across as having a good heart. Not an easy combo to play.

He will be missed.

Didn't he have another TV series called "And Then Came Bronson"? It's so long ago now, I can hardly remember.
