He followed this by playing Tony Blake in The Magician (1973-74): his character has been imprisoned for a crime he did not commit and comes out of jail with a pledge to use his talents as an illusionist and escapologist to help people and prevent crime. In 1969 came Bixby's part as Tom Corbett in The Courtship of Eddie's Father, which ran for three years and won him an Emmy Award nomination.
