Like most everyone else, I was too young to clearly remember this show. What I do remember is that the show contained male tenderness (seldom on display on the small screen), that the leading men were not tough guys (although they were tough), and that the thoughtfulness in the storytelling thrilled me. Unconsciously, IAMW became my measuring stick for the quality of television. Not many shows have measured up.
As important as the scripts were, I remember being so impressed with the four "men" who formed the cast. Glenn Corbett was my personal role model, but I remember being so taken with Ted Bessell that I became a That Girl watcher because he was on the show. I never understood what drove him to do "Me and the Chimp," even though I watched it.
The integrity of the four leads encouraged me to become the person I am today, and I wish I had the opportunity to visit that houseboat again,
