Man, his show was a major part of my childhood and introduced me to a lot of classic ( and not so classic) SF and horror, including Zombies of the Stratosphere starring a young Leonard Nimoy.

Rest in Peace Bob.

KTVU (Oakland) actually got some interview footage with him a few years ago when they were celebrating their 50th anniversary.

Enjoyed Wilkins when I was in high school. Good personal guide to camp and schlock.

R.I.P. ... and don't come back as a zombie. The irony would lost on a lost of folks ...
