Look What I Found

by Larry Brody

 

Just saw this on the AUTOMAN Facebook page.

Desi Arnaz, Heather McNair, and Automan himself, Chuck Wagner.

This is only three-fifths of the original AUTOMAN cast. Missing are Bob Lansing and Gerald S. O’Laughlin, who couldn’t make the reunion because they don’t breathe anymore.

Also not pictured are “Cursor,” Automan’s sidekick/tool (think the Doctor’s sonic screwdriver if it behaved like Harpo Marx), and the Autocar:

And, no, neither Cursor nor the Autocar ever breathed.

I did drive the Autocar around LA – just a little – and learned that if you wanted to pick up women, it was God’s Greatest Gift. But if all you wanted to do was look at them, forget it. They’d look back and come running, and I’d have to hit that accelerator and get my embarrassed self away.
