When Things Were Rotten
2 January 2006
It was 1975 and I was 11/12 years old when I first saw this program. This show was a comedic version of Robin Hood's adventures. It immediately became my favorite program and I watched it every week. Needless to say, I was very disappointed when it left the air. What is more amazing is that I have never seen it in syndication over the last 30 years. However, thanks to A&E and the internet, I have been able to re-watch this program this past weekend and really enjoyed it.

I remembered Dick Gautier as "Hymie" from "Get Smart", but I was surprised to recognize Bernie Kopell as "Seigfried" the second time seeing "WTWR". Frankly, reviewing IMDb's web page shows that many stars and guests from "WTWR" have done prominent work. 2 guests were regulars on "Barney Miller", Prince John was a regular on "Alias", and Dick van Patten appeared in "Robin Hood: Men in Tights". Dick Gautier has been doing voice work on prominent animated series. It's hard to believe he's about 74 years old now.

I would encourage anyone who misses this program to check all the actor links on IMDb for this show, and you will be surprised at what the "WTWR" cast has been up to; also, contact A&E and see if they will rebroadcast this show. It would be nice if they included updates on the cast.
