I am obsessed with MeTV

Tom Tryon was gay, btw. And, yes, he was very hot

didn't Tom Tyron become an author?

R2, yes

I wouldn't mind having Tom Tryon tryon my tom.

"[T]his guy," OP? THIS GUY?! He's Tom Tryon!

Wasn't Tom Tryon in a relationship with some B-lister?

I'm sorry R5. I had never heard of him before. -OP

TT.....hubba hubba .....

He was with Cal Culver for awhile

Tom Tyron wrote The Other about twin brothers. Both the book and the film were really good.

I love the late night (or early morning) line-up of Mannix, Cannon & Barnaby Jones. Most nights I wake up around 2:00 am, and a cocktail or two with those shows puts me back to sleep.

My ex was in a relationship with Tom before we got together. He said that Tom was extremely handsome, wildly screwed up, and into such kinky sex that my ex couldn't take it and left him.

I watched Adam-12 all the way through a couple of years ago. So much fun to see LA in those days. I worked with a young guy who was an exact double of Kent McCord, I had such a crush on him, but he was half my age and married.

[quote] And that Kent McCord could get it every day.

I preferred Martin Milner. I’ve only seen Adam-12 and Route 66 in reruns, but my he was cute.

Yum! #forearmporn

I sometimes watch the old Perry Mason episodes on MeTV. I feel they hold up well. It's also fun seeing some of the talented old-time TV actors.

Due his work schedule, my boyfriend watches Cannon Fat Detective about 2-3 times a week. It's on in the middle of the night here. If I'm still up I usually find something to goof on it.

Tom, who was once married to a woman and in a relationship with porn star Casey Donovan, died just over 30 years ago to the day. He died from stomach cancer, which was allegedly linked to his being HIV positive.

And yes, both the book and movie version (1972) of The Other are quite good.

Tom Tryon also wrote Harvest Home, which is a really good book as well. (The TV movie version with Bette Davis is comparatively a bit of a stinker.)

His third novel Lady isn't bad either.

All three were best sellers and were even bigger when released in paperback.

In a way, he was Stephen King before there was a Stephen King.

MeTV is on everyday in my house. I never miss Adam 12 and have seen just about every episode more than once by now. You’re not gonna convince me that Malloy wasn’t in love with Reed.

Otto Preminger terrorized and bullied Tom Tryon during the filming of The Cardinal to the point that Tryon eventually left acting altogether.

And yes, he was once the boyfriend of gay porn actor Casey Donovan.
