This was a family favorite when it originally aired, but watching it present day is absolutely amazing because of the seemingly never ending list of guest stars that appeared in the series. A few years ago when OTA digital sub channel Decades made it's debut, The Fugitive was one of the series...

What Liberace wants in a woman? A man.

Yes! This was a good one, and I also thought Carlson did a good job as Philbrick. As a young student I used to love the practice drills, crawling around on the floor under the desks, antagonizing the girls, making the teacher chase us around. Big fun!

Indeed, ole Lonesome George was a very funny man. A great example was when he appeared as a guest on The Tonight Show, following Bob Hope and Dean Martin. A classic.

Born in Honolulu in 1901, Clarissa Haili started as a performer singing at her local church, and in spite of her mother's objections began appearing in clubs singing and doing the hulu in the 1930's. She met Harry Owens, who got her to change her name to Hilo Hattie, and got her into the movies...

Another favorite of mine was Whirlybirds, a syndicated action series from Desilu Productions. It started Kenneth Tobey, of The Thing From Another World fame, and future spaghetti western star Craig Hill, as helicopter pilots for hire anywhere in the Western US. It aired in 1957, 58, 59, with a...

But only the lower alien workers models had that defect. The deluxe models could manipulate their little finger.

Here's a second vote for The Invaders, a sci-fi thriller on ABC that was a 17 episode midseason replacement in January 1968 and received a 26 episode full season pickup for fall 1968. It caught me immediately with the opening, which was basically identical to another outstanding Quinn Martin...

George Burns and Jack Benny, absolutely. Bob Hope not so much. Carson was known for disliking Hope for a number of reasons. Hope was held in high esteem at NBC because of the years and years of radio and TV programs that made NBC tons of money; as Carson's star rose and Hope's slipped, Carson...
