Explore Old TV & Radio Series: Space Patrol & UFO

[Ivan Seeking]

Oh yes, the Time Tunnel was absolutely a favorite; Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea as well. Wow, I haven't thought of some of these shows in decades...Wagon Train.

Now here's a real long shot: Hobo Kelly anyone? Or, whew...Sheriff John? Sheriff John wished me a happy bday on TV. I even got to stay home from kindergarten that day so I could watch.

 

[Danger]

I liked Gumby and Pokey? Was his name really Pokey?

Not exactly; they had to alter it slightly for television.

 

[Danger]

Here's a good one "The Time Tunnel". I don't think I missed a single episode. It was canceled after the first season.

I thought that it went 2 seasons, but maybe it just seemed like it because they used to make more episodes per season than they do now. Yeah... I loved it. I still have here somewhere a Viewmaster (remember them?) 3-disk set for the 'Titanic' episode. Along with an original Star Trek and a Land of the Giants. (Even at that tender age, Deanna Lund was pretty much the only reason that I watched it.) I think that I have a model of the LotG shuttle too.

I would suspect that those were locally produced shows? Sure never heard of them up here. We had Colonel Lunar in Calgary.

And leave us not forget the Cheese Whiz and firecrackers!

I figured you'd get it, but I wasn't sure if you've lived there that long.


I bet Ivan's Sheriff John never did that!

When I was a kid we had a show called Waldo Kitty which absolutely no one I have ever met seems to have heard of. I am quite sure I hallucinated it. I popped a lot of Ritalin in those days, so it could have been a side effect.

Can't recall if I've ever seen it or not, but I have heard of it. Always figured it was some misbegotten nephew of Fritz the Cat or something.

I still consider cheese whiz a fine food product..served with fava beans and a good Chianti ...

I thought the Ghoul's use of it was perverse and disgusting, but you eat it?!

AHA! It WAS real!

Thank you, google.

I clicked on that just for a second. Now that I've seen the whole title, I remember that it was a kid/spoof version of Danny Kaye's 'The Secret Lives of Walter Mitty'. I still can't recall if I ever saw it, though.

Wow, the internet is so cool! MIH inspired me. I really thought this stuff would be long lost.

Nope. Sorry...

ummm Danger ever see Silents of the Lambs?

 

[Danger]

ummm Danger ever see Silents of the Lambs?

Nope... but I'm pretty sure that I can spell it.

Seriously though... no I haven't. I know that this will sound ridiculously out of character, but I try to avoid watching shows that I expect to be unpleasant. I don't mind gore and whatnot, but psychological horror (if that's a proper term for the genre) puts me right off.
Now that you've brought it up, though, I seem to remember something about the beans and Chianti from a quote or something. It's not something that stuck in my head. I guess I'm just culturally deprived.

Funny but my sister brought this up tonight: Do we have any Northern Exposure fans? I think Rick's death and funeral is right up there with WKRP's turkey drop as one of the funniest TV plots ever written.

Now that I have seen!

We have the DVD! Perhaps we should have Norther Exposure party!

Integral, can I come? please, please? I'll fly up. I LOVED Northern Exposure. I miss it so much.

They quit carrying it on a channel that I can get after the first season. Never saw the one you're talking about. For hilarious episodes, though, leave us not forget the death of Chuckles the Clown on MTM, and the Barney Miller episode with the hash brownies.

Sounds like a good time, maybe Ivan can throw on a steak or 5 and a big pot of that Kona coffee, Apple Martinis for those that prefer.

Route 66; Hawaiian Eye; Honey West (I still want a pet ocelot); Surfside 6; Man (+ spinoff Girl) From U.N.C.L.E.; The Invaders; The Immortal; original Outer Limits & Twilight Zone; The Rifleman; The Real McCoys; Bearcats... okay, I'm going to give somebody else a chance here, but I remember lots more.

Great! I am coming up this summer. Ivan's dead deer should have finished decomposing by then.

I would just avoid any smoked venison jerky he tries to serve you.

We're on! MIH, I'll pick up an extra steak. And I promise, no deer meat...but you have to eat your broccoli

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Oh gosh, I have to mention this...astronuc

With all due respect, which they certainly deserve these days, our local National Gaurd unit is F Troop!

I would comment on so many shows mentioned that it would be too embarassing to admit that I've watched them all. but yes, Barney miller, Chuckles on MTM, and we must mention the surprise series finale to the second Newhart show. That was good.

 

[Janus]

Okay, does anyone remember these:

My Living Doll
My Mother the Car
Mr. Fantastic
Captain Wonderful

The Prisoner - Patrick McGuen
Dark Shadows

I wonder if the titles were altered for NA release. The versions of both 'The Prisoner' and its prequel 'Secret Agent' credited him as Patrick McGoohan. (Incidentally, Johnny Rivers' excellent song 'Secret Agent Man' was the title song for that show.)
Dark Shadows was the only soap that I've ever watched in my life (except for 'Soap' of course, which was a parody of soaps). I only watched it because the characters were vampires. I didn't know that it was a soap at the time.

How about Tom Terrrific; Beanie and Cecil; Kukla, Fran & Ollie; Howdy Doodie; The Friendly Giant (okay, that's a Canuk thing)...
