Stopped in a library book sale this week and saw a woman grab Rawhide season 1 and a 1950's Dragnet box. They do exist!

I watched that episode of The Fugitive a few years ago, I'm surprised you didn't post any screencaps of Roy Thinnes in his vivid bandana print shirt for the immense female readership of this thread. Sometimes it does feel like we guys are getting drowned out here though, why only yesterday I...

Jeff, somehow I managed to watch both Valley of the Dinosaurs and Land of the Lost, with Korg 70,000 B.C. thrown in for good measure. Different schedules maybe, or one first run and one in reruns? Looking forward to your upcoming series of luscious screencaps of a female Sleestak. ;)

Run For Your Life - S2E5 "The Dark Beyond The Door". Paul helps his friend's wife (Delphi Lawrence) by looking into who her husband(Peter Graves) is sending a mysterious payment of $1000 a month to. With a few unforeseen developments, a sensitive performance by Michael Dunn, and Kent McCord...

Courtesy of YT, watching episodes of J.J. Starbuck - Dale Robertson series from the mid-1980’s, the first few episodes have kind of a Columbo format and then the feel begins to vary, one is a little A-Team, another a bit Highway to Heaven. So far I’m not sure I’d call it a great show but it is...

I'm not entirely sure I agree with this assessment Jeff. I can't help but imagine a world in which we got a Richard Boone Show style scenario with each week showcasing a TV remake of a different Cary Grant film with Astin in the Grant part. Episode 1: North By Northwest, with John Astin, Jamie...

Strike Force - “The John Killer”. This 1981 Robert Stack series is like Most Wanted with a lot more violence and a bit more of a claustrophic feel. Prisoner/Avengers/Man In A Suitcase veteran Don Chaffey directs this episode with a genuinely unsettling Ann Turkel as a Norman Bates on overdrive...

Most Wanted S1E21 "The Dutchman". Rip Torn is great as the recently released from prison criminal mastermind. Even within the limited confines of the script, it's apparent that he has established complex emotional relationships with a number of characters in the story, and would have been a...

Another great post Jeff and your description of the vehicles "gleefully soaring through the air" gave me a great early morning laugh. Recently came across this interview with Albert Salmi. It's labeled as being Kung Fu related but it actually seems to date from the Petrocelli era.

Target: The Corruptors! - S1 E16 "One For The Road". The Littlest Hobo - S1E1 "Blue Water Sailor" Run For Your Life - S3E10 "Tell It Like It Is" Dragnet 1967 S1E2 "The Big Explosion" Saber Of London - assorted episodes The Detectives - assorted episodes Along Came A Spider - 1970 TV movie...

Quinn Martin's Tales of the Unexpected - No Way Out. Bill Bixby as a Navy Man caught up in a storm at sea who wakes up in a hospital 25 years later. Enjoyable episode with a nice support turn by Robert Hogan, had a certain creepy undercurrent that made it play like an extended, slightly higher...

The Interns - The Casualty. Depressing episode directed by Richard Donner, drenched in early 70's pathos relevance. John Davidson checks in for what he thinks is a minor ailment. His sister Diana Hyland is an award winning journalist doing a feature on the hospital, and appears to be insane...

Great reviews and screencaps as always Jeff! I had a few episodes of Coronado 9 on a dvd-r 15-20 years ago and was glad to see the release of that series and State Trooper. Cameron's presence makes them eminently watchable. Always enjoyed Peter Haskell's guest shots back then, and watched a...

Another reason I miss living in Los Angeles https://www.cinema.ucla.edu/events/2023/08/26/honey-west-tv-private-eye-65

Planet of the Apes - "The Trap" One Step Beyond - "Night of April 14th" My Mother The Car - "What Makes Auntie Freeze?" Barnaby Jones - "The Challenge" The Fugitive - multiple episodes Get Smart - multiple 2nd season episodes Cannon - multiple 4th season episodes

My Three Sons - “The Prince” - Chip retains a haircut the rest of the family considers outlandish to join a windbreaker clad gang at school. Robbie offers him a green sweater valued at $12 in 1965 money. Ernie wouldn’t mind a little more soup. Steve confesses that when he was Chip’s age he wore...

I didn’t buy either of these but it was interesting to run across them yesterday.

My Three Sons s4e36 “Huckleberry Douglas” Daktari S1e2

Been taking a bit of a break but did watch 2 episodes of Danger Man and a Barnaby Jones this week.

Found a couple classic TV tie in paperbacks today.

Can’t go wrong with the Vashon trilogy, and a Reed Hadley binge is never a bad idea!

Now playing. Budget label Hawaii Five-0 cash in. Good version of the theme, has a driving immediacy, with a cheap electronic organ that sounds like something Sun Ra might have used, cool late 60’s guitar effects. 3 songs are in that vein (including a cover of Booker T & the MG’s “Time Is...

I can see that. I enjoy the series but couldn’t watch it every day.

Coronet Blue - Faces. Michael Alden stumbles across a photo of himself at a funeral and tries to find out what he was doing there. Turns out to be the funeral of a murdered girl. Was Alden somehow involved? With Hal Holbrook as a sympathetic newspaperman and Mitchell Ryan as a tormented D.A...

Physicians of yesteryear in Salvation Army today.

Came across this yesterday. I believe it was Randall who was talking about Fenady recently but my memory is terrible nowadays so forgive me if I’m misspeaking. The book is dedicated to Nick Adams, wish the cover art resembled him more.

Tonight’s TV related spin. Fantastic cool jazz treatments of some familiar themes.

I liked the Planet of the Apes series well enough when it was on but the animated version seemed to have more exciting stories. Haven’t seen it since then. Semi-related: Roddy McDowall’s home movies from the 60’s are on youtube and well worth watching, a lot of familiar faces in a casual setting.

Tonight’s listen. This budget label version of the Mission Impossible soundtrack is an enjoyable album, the title track is played at a more frantic tempo than Schafrin’s arrangement, opening up with some hammering piano chords bringing to mind a hopped up on amphetamines take on the Barnaby...
