God, I used to watch that when I was home with two babies. RIP.
Didn't he also play Philip Marlowe?
Cap'n Bob, as I recall, he was a very good Marlowe. Of all the screen Marlowes, I thought he and James Garner were closest in appearance and style to Chandler's conception.
Carey also did a guest-star turn as Archie Bunker's macho buddy Steve in an episode of ALL IN THE FAMILY in which Archie rails against homosexuals. "They ain't real men like Steve here," Archie blusters. There's a pause, and Carey says with perfect timing, "Archie, there's something I never told you or the other guys ... I'm gay."
