RERUN: Bruce Boxleitner | The Scarecrow And Mrs. King Years, Part 2
<i>“Katie and I, our relationship could be a little exciting -- I had to watch my step, I had to toe the line. I had to behave myself or I’d get taken to the principal’s office... And she was the principal.”</i> -- Bruce Boxleitner<br /><b><br />REWIND EPISODE: </b>The 80s TV Ladies - Sharon and Susan - are both moving! More details in our next episode. Meanwhile, please enjoy a few of our favorite episodes on repeat - consider it early summer rerun season. Let us know what you think about Bruce, Lee Stetson, and Scarecrow and Mrs. King. We think it's one of the most adorable interviews with Bruce Boxleitner ever. :)<br /><br />In Part Two of their conversation, Bruce reflects on the differences between doing TV then and now, his relationship with Kate Jackson -- and how the long hours can sometimes turn your co-stars into your family…<br /><br />Bruce Boxleitner’s television career started way back in 1973 with an appearance on <i>The Mary Tyler Moore Show</i> and he has since appeared in over 100 films and TV shows including <i>Gunsmoke, Baretta, Police Woman, Hawaii 5-0, Babylon 5, Crossing Jordan, Commander in Chief, American Dad, Cold Case, Heroes, Chuck, NCIS, Supergirl, The Orville, When Calls The Heart, How The West Was Won, Bring ‘Em Back Alive, The Gambler </i>and <i>Tron.</i><br /><b><br />THE PART 2 CONVERSATION</b><br /><ul><li>THE UGLY SIDE OF LEE STETSON: When Lee slaps Amanda in “Burn Out” (S2; EP.21) What was going on? -- “Kate said, “Hit me.” It was no fun. I didn’t enjoy doing it at all.”</li><li>ON THE JAZZ: In Europe, Mel Stuart -- a saxophonist -- fell in with some local jazz musicians and ended up sitting-in in clubs all over Munich.</li><li>DOUBLE TROUBLE: Bruce finds out the strange reason his stunt double Gary Davis did the pilot’s helicopter stunts with no safety cable!</li><li>On doing network TV: “This is where I come off sounding like a grumpy old man, but in my day, we had fun. Nobody is having fun anymore. Because we have cell phones on the set, everyone’s on their cell phone. No one’s talking.”</li><li>WHO CAN TURN THE WORLD ON WITH HIS SMILE? Bruce got his first gig on The Mary Tyler Moore Show because the producer owed his agent a favor.</li><li>On doing a streaming series: “I’m doing a series now -- six episodes. They call that a series? I call it a two-parter.”</li><li>Bruce gets a surprise walking onto the Gunsmoke set when he discovers the entire town is built inside a soundstage.</li><li>On filming pilots: “George Clooney says he’s the king of the unsold pilots. Well, buddy, I’m the runner-up!”</li><li>While shooting The Orville, Bruce finds out that the biggest SMK fan… is Seth McFarlane!</li><li>How do you marry Lee and Amanda?
