I have MeTV at work, not at home, and saw an "Ironside" a while back that had Galloway in a skimpy bathing suit, some story taking place at a pier or something, and wished like hell I could have grabbed some screencaps of that! He actually got better looking as the series wore on, imho.Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-43151892900656286092014-04-15T14:42:55.874-04:002014-04-15T14:42:55.874-04:00Re: Galloway on Ironside, it's an episode enti...Re: Galloway on Ironside, it's an episode entitled Nightmare Trip.<br />http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0612429/<br />I saw it on MeTV and was pleasantly surprised to see such a bounty on my TV.

That's amazing that you got to meet him!<br /><br />Sam Elliott (who has a little tribute all his own here if you haven't seen it yet) is another one who made plenty of hearts throb over the years. Again, I don't know what I would do if confronted with him before me. I hope I wouldn't scream. Ha!<br /><br />That story about "Ironside" fascinates me. I know the first two seasons are on DVD, but I don't believe they went further than that (which I hate... See also "The Big Valley" and "Barnaby Jones" and "Maude," the latter two of which only got their first seasons released!) Galloway is from a little town not too far from where I live, but which seemed to somehow nourish talent (Rosemary Clooney was from the same basic place!)<br /><br />Thanks for your contributions and I hope you see more you like here!Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-18745590383508926682013-03-22T04:02:03.155-04:002013-03-22T04:02:03.155-04:00Here is the ideal spot to comment on a long forgot...Here is the ideal spot to comment on a long forgotten full-butt shower scene on primetime 1970s television: Ironside at the end of its run, 1974 I believe. <br /><br />I was twelve years old and staying up late, watching my little black and white television, and there was ultra-handsome Don Galloway in a shower showing his backside; I recall there was another man, an extra in the scene. <br /><br />I am certain this must have aired as it startled me so that I can still clearly recall it. I have never been able to track down the episode, but for some reason the plot line of the Galloway character either going undercover in a prison or going to jail unjustly, persists in my mind.<br /><br />Considering that Raymond Burr was a gay man, perhaps it was his idea. Handsome Galloway was always my kind of man, and sadly he died a few years ago, only in his early seventies.<br /><br />By the way, in January of 1998 I met Clint Walker at the sesquicentennial celebration of the California Gold Discovery at Coloma, just north of Sacramento. He was in his western duds as part of the festivities, along with Governor Wilson. Walker is still a giant of a man, and he was very congenial. His voice is ingratiatingly masculine and oddly comforting. You just want to pull up a stool and sit by him.<br /><br />Two years later, just after Christmas, I came face to face with Sam Elliot and Katherine Ross, with older youngsters in tow, as I turned a corner at Disneyland. He is also a big man, and his hands and biceps gave the appearance of being exaggerated, like Popeye, oddly. He was stunning, wearing soft form-fitting jeans and a custom suede shirt, open a bit at the chest (it was a pleasant December). Again, stunning.<br /><br />Like you, Poseidon, I am engaged in local theater in a variety of surprising ways, but for quirky personal reasons, I no longer hang out in nearby celebrity-magnet San Francisco. Frankly, I never did, even in my prime. But instead, out here in the suburban hinterlands and in my travels throughout my beloved Golden State, I have bumped into and crossed paths with all sorts of celebrities. I'll share whenever appropriate.<br /><br /><br />Narcisohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05145756558278365203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-33253881956131524202012-06-03T07:42:07.876-04:002012-06-03T07:42:07.876-04:00All your comments made my night tonight.

I saw your "test post" yesterday where you were trying to figure out this stupid new Blogger interface we've been graced with.<br /><br />Unless no one else has told you, here's how you can get back the old interface. When you log in to Blogger, click on the gear icon, that wheel-looking thing. In the drop down, select "Use old Blogger Interface." This will bring it back.<br /><br />Now, once you go back to it, Blogger has a message on your Dashboard stating that this old interface will be going away permanently sometime this month.<br /><br />What I recommend you do -- and I also recommend EVERYONE who owns a blog on Blogger and who hates this new interface also do -- is click again on that gear-icon and select "feedback" and tell Blogger you think it's garbage we're being stuck with this new interface. At the very least, they should give us the option of using the old one or the new one, not just take away the old one entirely. <br /><br />My guess is some VP or executive came in and decided to change something that didn't need to be changed, in order to justify a paycheck.Joe Kenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285576322579808153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-27422734549335946832012-04-21T00:09:24.116-04:002012-04-21T00:09:24.116-04:00Julian Sands (who I adore) is also naked in a show...Julian Sands (who I adore) is also naked in a shower---actually a storm---on a rooftop in <i>Gothic</i>.

It makes it almost too easy to spy the men you like!<br /><br />Thombeau, believe it or not, I have never seen Altered States! I need to check that out. I appreciate your comment about the details in my post, though it is sometimes a curse for me to be so inclusive (such as in those lengthy celebrity profiles where I sometimes seem to add in everything but the used car commercials the person did in college! LOL)<br /><br />Yes, NotFelix, we do like our furry-chested men! Like you, I also fell for Julian, though Room with a View was what did it for me. I haven't seen Warlock II yet.<br /><br />Labuanbajo, thanks for sharing that! How totally fun for such an old movie. In my photo tribute to Buster Crabbe, there is a pic of him in the shower, taken, I think, on the set of that movie. In any case, I think you are really going to like my next post...

Seeing Tom Selleck and Sam Elliott in the same post certainly raises my spirits!<br /><br />There's one thing, though Julian Sands is not my regular type o'guy, there is a 2 or 3 second scene of him (totally nude) in the B- film Warlock II, that would make anyone wear out their DVD (or VHS) player from the amount of replays. <br /><br />It's because of that scene that I rank Mr. Sands with some of my all time favorites.NotFelixUngerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04812102754911699275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-58498638180319475452012-04-19T07:26:00.122-04:002012-04-19T07:26:00.122-04:00Search for Beauty, a Buster Crabbe picture from 19...Search for Beauty, a Buster Crabbe picture from 1934:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDwpB2QXcjILabuanbajohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868669229565228124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-33619977546346099672012-04-19T01:34:43.631-04:002012-04-19T01:34:43.631-04:00I can't believe how in-depth your posts are, a...I can't believe how in-depth your posts are, and in a case like this I truly appreciate it!<br /><br />I'd like to add William Hurt's shower scene in <i>Altered States</i> to your lengthy list before I throw in the towel.Thombeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610129742797260253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-64305269652657745392012-04-18T23:56:05.651-04:002012-04-18T23:56:05.651-04:00Wow, reading this post had the uneasy effect of ha...Wow, reading this post had the uneasy effect of having me review my pervy past as a young man. Like when I would actually sit through a screening of terrible film like "The Legacy" twice just for the few seconds of seeing Sam Elliot walk to the shower (I hope today's kids realize how lucky they are with this Internet thing). And don't get me started on Julian Sands, whose backside is arguably as photogenic as his face. Thank goodness you included a few pics little of the dick-withering charms of Bruce Willis, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stand up now.Ken Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940648971296673233noreply@blogger.com
