BBC's version of Emile Zola's Nana starring Katherine Schofield. It aired in the late 1960's and 70's and no tapes or even images from the series seem to exist.

Sgt.Preston of The Yukon (he had a dog name King). I used to dream of moving to the Yukon.

Then was there Captain Nice with William Daniels before he a car voice was (Knight Rider) or a "cheerful" Doctor Mark Craig on St.Elsewhere, and then that school thingy he did.

To jespah, I remember Wonderama, did like it not, did not watch it much either, it was the choice made by others.

To Roberta, I remember Ted Mack and the commercials Geritol and Sominex, perk you up and then put you to sleep. Along statement made with by Mack
"round and round she goes and where she stops nobody knows"...that still me makes think of the round circle thing on the coin box of the NYC busses, which used to go round and round until the coins had all slid through (and tallied up maybe? Where did the go coins during rush hour? I saw token turnstyles emptied never a coin box.).

After school shows, like Annie Oakley and Wild Bill Hickock. Wild Bill was played by Guy Madison. Can't recall who played Annie.

@edgarblythe,
I remember a show that even I don't remember. I like sharp writing. Well, so do a lot of people, but I used to follow, somewhat, script writing. There was a show that probably was on in the late seventies or early eighties, when I was crazy busy.
I'm not sure if it was a pilot or a 13-seg series, but I only saw a little of it. The subject was marriage. Well, this is old hat, except the show was very sharp. I can't remember the show name, nor the writer. Gaaaa. The show didn't last, with some of the best writing I'd ever heard.

So, I'll call it the marriage show.



Not the same writer, but -

Anyone else follow Frederic Raphael? He wrote Two for the Road, but also Glittering Prizes, a brit show I loved and no one else has ever heard of.

One of the dumbest shows ever to be on TV - IMHO

There is a reason it only lasted one season.

Remember both. I remember that Karen Valentine was in Room 222 in the late 60's.

Anyone remember Whirlybirds?
Television arrived pretty late in the piece in Oz. So received a lot of the US stuff that was years old. This is one of the earliest programs (along with the Mickey Mouse Club, Zorro, The Cisco Kid etc, I can remember.)

Topper and his ghost friends was pretty good.
The Deputy often featured Henry Fonda, but most episodes starred Allen Case.
I thought Bosom Buddies sucked, but it did launch Tom Hanks' career.

@ossobuco,
Speaking of sharp writing, "Frank's Place" with Tim Reid was some of the sharpest, and I loved every minute of it. As good as that sports show...Sports Night? With Bill Macy's wife, the actress on "Desperate Housewives"? Arg.

@mysteryman,
We lived for Room 222, but I think it was daytime re-runs.

Love American Style was the cameo show of it's day...I swear, I think every living celebrity appeared on that show!

Shows that are remembered but I enjoyed at the time and believe obscure today:

The Mothers in Law with Eve Arden
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir with Charles Nelson Rielly

@Intrepid,
That was either just enough before my time that it was out of re-runs in my youth, or it was on ABC...a network we didn't get. I have seen an episode here and there. I associate it with the beatnik " So I Married an Axe Murderer" in my brain's never ending quest for 'sames'.
