I used to watch that series. It only ran for two seasons. Reilly was funny, but came across as fussy. He sometimes fancied himself as a romantic interest for Hope Lange, who generally was dismissive of him. Mulhare's character disliked him intensely and always refused to believe that Reilly's character might be his nephew or some sort of descendant.
Reilly did a lot of TV, sit-coms as well as game shows. He was very funny, but never offensive or blatant like Paul Lynde (who also employed a gay schtick) frequently was. |
