I was only 11 when the Magician aired, I did see the Incredible Hulk, but found it to be somewhat rather frightening. It was a sad day when Bill died, but his legacy lives on in the wonderful series he made and starred in. Rest in Peace Bill, on what would be your 88th birthday on 21st November, Happy Heavenly Birthday, you're still loved and thought about every day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799060793812204452.post-64239238806409320692022-06-11T19:51:23.196-04:002022-06-11T19:51:23.196-04:00Bill Bixby was one of the most likable and appeali...Bill Bixby was one of the most likable and appealing actors on TV. I thought The Courtship of Eddie's Father was a groundbreaking show that really focused on a dad's relationship with his son, and putting him first above all others. So sad about his real life son, and his early death to cancer. I wish we would have had the chance to let him know how appreciated he was.RFarmiloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14706401053620571488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799060793812204452.post-32939941937019474002019-08-14T23:51:24.858-04:002019-08-14T23:51:24.858-04:00I really enjoyed watching The Courtship of Eddie&#...I really enjoyed watching The Courtship of Eddie's Father as a child. I loved seeing the loving relationship they shared.

Courtship is now available on Warner Archive Instant and the show is worth revisiting, Rick. Sometimes it takes several tries to warm up to a series but this one is a gem..especially the first season.The Metzinger Sistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10728879307994086409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799060793812204452.post-50355039278924825102017-06-18T18:41:47.722-04:002017-06-18T18:41:47.722-04:00I also am a Bill Bixby fan (though I never cared f...I also am a Bill Bixby fan (though I never cared for COURTSHIP OF EDDIE'S FATHER).

They both loved Christopher and I can imagine them being really good parents to the boy. Bill simply died too soon. If you have a subscription to Warner Archive be sure to watch some of the episodes, it was such a wonderful series.

I recall when these tragedies occurred, and Bill's battle with cancer. Sometimes we remember these dreadful times in life, but no life is entirely gloomy. There is love and there are happy times, and Christopher's life, however brief, was a happy time, and The Courtship of Eddie's Father was a happy time that continues.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.com
