@eoe,
Yep, I loved that show! I watched it after I broke up with a boyfriend who was a musician, and I wasn't totally over him at the time, and imagined that he and I would be like Molly and (? Moss?) 20 years down the line.

And of course 20 years down the line is right about now. Gulp. (Not about him but about how old that seemed at the time....)

@sozobe,
OMG. Blair Brown was 40 when the show started. And I'm gonna be 40 in a few months.

Excuse me, I need to go have a midlife crisis.

You're funny Soz! Laughing

All That Glitters. A little late night show where women ruled and men were subservient. If I'm not mistaken, Lois Nettleton played a transsexual. Once a man, then a woman.

@edgarblythe,
"Hen-REEEEEE?! Henry ALDRICH!"

"Coming, Mother!"

Believe it or not, The $64,000 Question is where we got Dr. Joyce Brothers from. She was a contestant. Also the Payola scandal was exposed due to an investigation of this and other games shows (see movie 'Quiz Show') in that day.

@eoe,
I recall Hullabaloo and Shindig! On Shindig often times Bobby Sherman and Paul Revere and the Raiders appeared on those shows. I just learned that, believe it or not, actress Teri Gar was a regular Shindig dancer.

"The series house band, the Shin-diggers (later renamed the Shindogs), featured a young Glen Campbell, Joey Cooper, Chuck Blackwell (drums), Billy Preston, James Burton, Delaney Bramlett, Larry Knechtel (on bass) and pianist Leon Russell.

The Blossoms, an all-female vocal group featuring Darlene Love, backed up many of the performers and were occasionally featured in spotlight performances. The Wellingtons were a trio of male singers who performed on their own and as backup singers. Donna Loren, Jackie DeShannon and Bobby Sherman were also regular vocalists on the series."

Yeah. Joyce was chosen to lose by the producers of the show. But either she did not know that, or else she rebelled. They asked ever more obscure questions, but she got every one right until they were forced to declare her a winner. I could be wrong, but, I believe her topic was boxing.

@edgarblythe,
Yuppers! Mickey Dolenz (then known as Mickey Braddock), who later became one of the singing stars of the Monkees, drummed and played a mean tambourine.

@edgarblythe,
I didn't see them mentioned, so nice job. I loved Knight Rider (KITT 2000?)
. Wasn't that David Hasselhoff's first series?

How about the post-Civil War New Orleans western serials Yancy Derringer? It starred Jock Mahoney, on a riverboat, Jock went on to star as one of the movie Tarzans.

How about Mr. Lucky? I know that it was a Cary Grant movie, but this was the one that was a tv-series in early '60s. I recall the side-kick was Ross Martin, whose character was called Andamo.

Speaking of another series of Ross Martin's:
Ross went on to become a movie actor and co-star of Wild Wild West with Robert Conrad. Wild Wild West, was sort of a 1860s-1870s James Bond..repleat with innovative-for-the-times inventions as props and daring escapes.

Not that anyone has forgotten.

@dyslexia,
sort of recall that.

Oh, hoiw about Captain Midnight. Starrred Richard Webb, who had a sidekick who was played by actor Sid Melton. Character's name was Ichabod Mudd (with 2 Ds). I recall the sponsor was Ovaltine.


Then there was tv-series Sargeant Preston of the Yukon and his dog Yukon King? "Well, King, this case is closed." Anyone recall that?

I'm not gonna read this whole damned thread to find out if anyone else mentioned it, but . . .

It's about time
It's about space
About strange people
In the strangest place . . .

The "cavewoman" and "caveman" in the background are Imogene Coca and Joe E. Ross. This was done by the same crew that did Gilligan's Island.

@Ragman,
The guy that played Yancy Derringer also played what - The Range Rider? Kid's show.

Mr Lucky was by the same people that presented Peter Gunne and even had lots of Henry Mancini's music in it.

I don't know who played Sgt Preston on TV. On the radio, it was Brace Beamer, who also was The Lone Ranger. Incidentally, the Lone Ranger had a nephew named Dan Reid. Dan was the father or grandfather of a 20th Century character on a different program. Anybody recall -?
