The sad part about watching this is that during this time period, if Robert had just been able to meet a normal, stable, good woman who loved him, he never would've gotten involved with the pig Bonnie. That one decision, one mistake, ruined his entire life. It's so scary how letting one person into your life can cause so much damage.

I just watched a video from Robert Blake on youtube called, " I Ain't Dead Yet "! " " Stay tuned " ! Something like that, where during the video , as he is looking through old photographs, he showed a picture of a young lady, I think he said was 27, or so, that he was engaged to. Unfortunately, she died from an aneurysm ! Looking at her picture, and that of this Bonnie, to me, I could see a resemblance. So perhaps that is where the attraction was born ? But you are correct, terrible circumstances !

What I really like about him is that he is down to earth, and what you see is what you get. I do feel sorry for him in what he went through as a child. Why he got involved with Bonnie I will never know. I am sure he could have had many women. He seems so happy here. In later interviews he is so angry.

I watched this the night that it aired. I was 27 and didn't have to be to work until late in the morning. So I could always stay up for this. I never forgot Blake's comment about how doing a TV series was like screwing gorilla. Lol! - I was a naive kid growing up.and I always thought actors LOVED doing their series. Funny , after Baretta he did a short lived NBC series called "H... Town". Cery short loved qnd I don't think k he did another series after that. I think back on it and yes, he did 'In Cold Blood' another film called, 'Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here" plus a really forgotten movie I own called, "Electra Glide In Blue" , where he plays an Arizona mororcycle highway patrolman but it's truly bizarre. So he went into a series. He's not the only actor to ever do this but they usually wait until they're older and the movie offers aren't there. Lastly , I think with rbpassing of actor Dwayne Hickman, Blake is the last living "Our Gang / Little Rascals" child actor alive.

I was a big fan of Blake after seeing Electra Glide in Blue (1973), and I miss Tom too. Working afternoons later in life, it was time to invite Tom into my home for his late, late show after work. He was on point yet so casual about it and always talked with his crew like he was in some sort of long standing, on-going personal joke between them that anyone could 'get in on'. I was just a young man back then, but always thought Tom was underappreciated and underrated, yet he always seemed to be genuinely happy to be doing what he was doing. He was very well informed, had no pretense and made his interviews seem so easy. In short, a real class act. Try watching a 'modern' equivalent in the likes of Jimmy Quibble and Jimmy Fail-on. :/

Born Michael James Gubitosi September 18, 1933 (age 86) Nutley, New Jersey, U.S. This was just 24 short years ago, I must have been around 34 years old when this aired. In the early 80s, I'd watch Tom after working the afternoon shift. Even back then, Tom seemed underappreciated and underrated, but I am not sure he'd want it any other way. Working the late shift always appealed to me as well, it's the same work without all the brass walking around, its ensuing politics, packed parking lots and bustling crowds. By the time this interview aired, I was far too busy with work and kids to watch the Late, Late Show anymore. Like a wise friend once shared with me, having had a child years before myself. He said 'Matt, let me tell you that once you have kids, they really mark time for you have kids, the days are long and the years are short'. He wasn't kidding. So much has changed. Now, we're in the auto-tune era of entertainment. There are so few thoughtful interviews anymore, it's all staged and scripted photo-ops at the lowest common denominator; no class just ass. Tom is gone now, 13 years ago this July, 2020. It's a gentle reminder to take some time and do things for yourself now, while you can, even if you have to 'steal the time', because it is so fleeting and passes before one even realizes it-until we finally stop, look back and realize... that thing that seems so close or fresh actually happened 20 or 30 years ago. That once dear, old friend in the back of our minds, the one that we're surely going to see again, once things settle down a bit, and once they do "we'll get together then..." only to find out that they had passed years prior. It's when you realize that those living in your heart, significant old friends, neighbors, teachers, co-workers, bosses that had such an impact on our lives or at least that portion of it, so fondly remembered (or not) have retired or passed years ago and if they are still kicking, probably often they would have little or no recollection of it as it related to you specifically. The flip side is realizing that whatever bone of contention we may also have had that was so critically important at the time, has since faded into obscurity. "I can't even remember what that fight was about" puts things into perspective. Take time for yourself if you don't already. Strive to be kind. even when the other doesn't deserve it. You probably won't remember it in five years anyway. But you will remember taking the time to do something for yourself and for others that was outside of the mesmerizing routine. Do it now, before looking back and realizing it's too late now.
