He was the best and a great buy to talk to.

@Jenniferkate I am assuming you meant to say 35 seconds... you are right, it's in bad taste.

will miss him watch every show of his

36 seconds of tribute. Pretty pathetic KTVU. So much for your Bay Area heritage.
The man gave years of service to channel 2, and that's the best they could do.

Loved his show.

@jackskeets1 I agree.

@clintbronson5 Just that short paragraph you wrote brings back so many memories of those Really Great Days! Bud, You Rock!

I was allowed to stay up Saturday nights to watch Creature Feature as a 15-year-old, probably because my mom thought Wilkins was so eccentric. The cigar and glasses, as well as his monotone not-so-excited voice, were likely the keys to his success. He also was painfully honest about some of the dud movies they ran. But he also introduced me to the classics (Universal horror movies of the 1930s).

@jackskeets1 Wow....DISAPPOINTING!!! Somerville even mispronounced his name! So little for someone who gave us so much sittin' in front of the TV at 11:30 at night hoping that mom & dad didn't send us to bed. Shame on you KTVU - you undoubtedly spent more airtime regurgitating garbage about the 'Octo-mom'.... and I'll bet she never smoked a cigar in her life, let alone watch 'Attack of the Mushroom People'! God bless you Bob.... in this age of 'reality TV', you are and will be sorely missed!!!

Bob was the best...It was more fun to watch him then the movies...
35 seconds...
RIP Bob. We will remember you longer than that.

Gee KTVU, thanks for spending thirty five minutes to a beloved KTVU personality. I'm so glad you spent five minutes on the switch to digital. Whew, you all have your priorities!
