Explore Old TV & Radio Series: Space Patrol & UFO

[Ivan Seeking]

I forgot that you said it was when you were a kid. Might be too early for me, depending upon what stage of kidness you were in. If it was pre-65, I hadn't moved from here down to the Detroit/Windsor area, so had no exposure to Yank media. If it was after that, I probably did know about it and just can't remember.

I would say that 1965-69 is about right for the time that I started in on this stuff, but my dad's books and records all looked old by then. Of course, when you're a kid, anything as old as you is old, so who knows? But they may have been released quite a bit earlier than '65. I do remember them advertising this stuff on TV up through the early 70's though.

With that, audience, Mr Playbody will now pee for us.

Baseball game radio announcer [approx]: I was just watching this young couple below us here, in the stands. They seem to be newlyweds who are cheering for opposite teams. I've noticed that he kisses her on the strikes, and she kisses him on the balls.

The bad news: There was five car pile up on the I-5 this morning. Seven people were killed; three seriously.

Oh, don't get started man. You know it can't end well.

Alright, but just one...

Weather girl somewhere south of me:
"And Helena got six inches during the night."
Loud snickers from off-camera. Girl looks puzzled for a second, then blushes.
"Helena Montana, that is, got six inches of snow during the night... you guys...!"
Fast crossfade to commercial.

Rats! That's the only other one I could remember, and I wasn't sure enough of the exact wording to quote it.

Okay, I'm getting off of that now. I'm sure they'll be popping up now and then anyhow. There was one show that I loved (in fact, my folks extended my bedtime to 10:00 once a week so that I could watch it), and nobody else had ever heard of it. As soon as I got my net access I looked it up and there are a couple of hundred links about it. I didn't really check any of them out because I saw that some guy might have the episodes for sale and I want to watch them all before I read anything. Anyhow, it was called 'Coronet Blue' with Frank Converse starring. Unfortunately, it's one of the kind that needed to be resolved and apparently never was. I don't think it even lasted a whole season. I can't wait to see it again.

I also just now thought of another really good one: "The Bearcats" with Rod Taylor and a blond guy that I'm not sure of (like David Soul or Ken Howard, but I don't think that it was either). And speaking of Ken Howard: 'Manhunter'. And 'Stingray'–the Nick Mancuso version, not the puppets. How about the original live-action Spider-Man with Nicholas Hammond and Ellen Brie? It sucked, but it was better than no Spidey at all. There was a series based upon the 'Paper Moon' movie for a while. (Also 'The Paper Chase', but that's a whole 'nother kettle o' fish.) Speaking of which: 'Flipper'...
Are you starting to get the idea of how my mind works? Sometimes I just weird myself out. (I think that it's hereditary; my mother always gets Rue McClannahan and Madeleine Kahn mixed up because of Madeleine Rue. )

Okay, time to let somebody else talk for a while.
