I like them all, but John Astin is definitely the most underrated of the three. That guy could make me laugh just by raising his eyebrows. Unfortunately, he was on a show that many now consider cheesy. Thus, he suffers the same fate (unless he's OK with it) as Bob Denver, Alan Hale Jr, Fred Gwynne, Al Lewis, Jonathin Harris, Forrest Tucker, Larry Storch and many other suburb comic performers who were much better than the shows that they're most closely associated with. Hey, not all funny people end up on Dick Van Dyke or Mary Tyler Moore Show.
