It's happened so many times over the years. I don't know if it's due to poor writing/show concepts, or that the star's mannerisms just happen to be best in small doses. <br /><br />In Paul Lynde's case he was practically born to play comedy and trying to see him do anything serious would be just plain strange. If he were alive today, I have no doubt he would have had a chance to do more for some cable show where he could go beyond network censors.<br /><br />magicdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755186050643383954noreply@blogger.com
