Looking over this list, I see there is plenty to work with for several essays celebrating the contributions of Mr. Albert to our vision of the TV Universe.

Give me time, folks. I'd like to do right by his memory because I've always admired him for his work and passions outside of show business.

In the meantime, for a very nice tribute and obituary for Eddie Albert, please visit a Blogger comrade in TV Land at:
