RIP Chuck McCann

It was a bummer to find out Chuck passed via a tweet from Joel Hodgson. He made a lasting impression on me through the Sid & Marty Kroft show Far Out Space Nuts which he co-starred with Bob Denver. Little did I know, Chuck wrote three episodes of the Saturday morning kid show. Afterwards, he was very recognizable in all the weekly programs I’d see him in, namely “serious” programs like The Rockford Files.

Voice work is where he really shined. He was Sonny the bird who went cuckoo for Co-Co Puffs, Oliver Hardy (plus he portrayed him live) and the Amoeba Boys on The Powerpuff Girls. His imdb.com credits have Chuck listed for numerous video games as well.

Farewell Chuck. Thanks for all the joy and delight you provided on Saturday mornings while I was growing up in the Seventies.
