I NEVER saw him do anything badly....not ever! Even when he made a turkey of a movie, he was wonderful. I recently enjoyed listening to his special on Hoppalong Cassidy and as always wished he did more. He did an episode of "Magnum, PI" that was, to me, the best episode the show ever had.

A made-for-TV movie he did back in the early 70's is typical of how brilliant he was. Someone over at IMDB had this to say and they were right on the money: "By chance I was able to see this movie on TV, while on vacation.At first I was interested in watching the 1970's TV movie icon Dennis Weaver in action. But this unassuming film took me by surprise. Yes, it seemed corny at first, but the sad plot and Weavers' fine acting was infectious. He is a master at playing the shafted straight shooter. Coupled with the country soundtrack and the dismal scenery you really felt for Lonnie and his plight, as he ran from one disaster to another searching for his two sons. A solid simple movie with a sound moral thread running through it."......Exactly right. BTW, the movie was "Rolling Man."

So sad..........just sad........ya' know?
