Actor Sidney Noel Rideau, better known to generations of New Orleanians as Dr. Morgus the Magnificent, a well-meaning mad scientist who presided over televised horror films, died of natural causes on Thursday morning at Christwood Retirement Community in Covington, according to his daughter Natalie Rideau. He was 90 years old.

Oh man, lot of memories watching him on a antenna TV with my dad so long ago. Rest in peace to all the old guys who are gone.

Another loss from the age of innocence. Our Boy Scout troop was actually part of one of the Morgus episodes. Rarely missed him on Saturdays. Each episode built to the final spot that was usually fall off the chair funny.

I even remember watching him when I was a wee lad and I'm mid-30s.
