re: Agreed . . .
I enjoyed the twist in his short-lived series, "Nichols" (1971-1972), too -- and with, of all people, Superman's own Margot Kidder. Anyway, he plays the sheriff, named Nichols, and he dies in about the middle of the series -- to be replaced by his twin brother who investigates his death.
One weird, very well done western comedy,
