Storch received an Emmy Award nomination for his work on the series. While the show only lasted for two seasons, it developed quite a following and ran for years in syndication.

who tries to save the fading vessel from the scrap yard.
In addition to acting on screen, Storch had a healthy career lending his voice to animated projects. He began as the voice of Koko the Clown in the early 1960s and later could be heard on episodes of
The Brady Kids and
Scooby Doo and
Scrappy Doo in the 1970s.
Success on Broadway
In the next decade, Storch returned to Broadway. He appeared in a 1983 revival of the musical Porgy and Bess. Taking on a more substantial role, Storch joined the cast of the 1986 version of the classic comedy Arsenic and Old Lace with Polly Holliday, Tony Roberts, Jean Stapleton, and Abe Vigoda. In 2001, Storch joined the cast of Annie Get Your Gun with Reba McEntire in the lead role as the famous female sharpshooter. While playing Chief Sitting Bull on a touring production of the show, he told Entertainment Weekly how his TV past sometimes caught up to him. "Even when I would come out under feathers, you'd hear people yelling from the balcony, 'Aaaaa-garn, where's F Troop?" It's embarrassing, but it's flattering."More recently, Storch played the chief of police in the revival comedy Sly Fox in 2004. He also appeared in two films around this time, Bittersweet Place (2005) and Funny Valentine (2005) with Anthony Michael Hall.
Storch was married to his wife Norma for more than 40 years. The two had been through the highs and lows of his career together with her often acting as his manager. She died of cancer in 2003. The couple had one daughter together who they had given up for adoption long before they married. Storch also has a stepdaughter and stepson.
