Tom Bosley died today. I will always remember him as Father Dowling in the Father Dowling Mysteries. I do remember him in Happy Days, but that was a series I only got to see in re-runs.
Here’s a snippet from a Slice Of Sci-Fi article:
Actor Tom Bosley passed away today at the age of 83. The actor passed away at a Palm Springs-area hospital after a “brief battle” with lung cancer his agent tells E! NewsE!
Bosley had a long career in Hollywood, with cameos on a variety of shows including “The Love Boat” and “That 70s Show.” He starred in “The Father DowlingFather Dowling Mysteries” in the mid 80s for ABC.
I remember in the 80’s, my sister and would sit on the couch and watch The Father Dowling Mysteries. I liked the episode where there was a murderer who was using ice bullets. It was somewhat effective because it left little trace. As I grew up, I realized that this is silly.
Come to think of it, it is unusual for a priest and a nun to run around solving murder mysteries. I’m sure the Catholic church frowned upon this TV series.
Thank you, Tom Bosley, for the good memories.
