Mark Hardy Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 ooh, ooh... how about this one? BTW, might I just mention that I was a big fan of Gigantor, Ultraman (the early ones, when the good guys inexplicably drove around Tokyo in a Corvair), and (let us not forget) Astro-Boy and Tobor, the Eighth Man!

picky Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Ah, 'F-Troop'. I always had a crush on Melody Patterson ("Wrangler Jane"). She was only 15 when the show began. I was about the same age at the time. {sigh} Quote
Jeff Matthews Posted February 7, 2006 Author Posted February 7, 2006 I always like this one, too. Quote
Jeff Matthews Posted February 7, 2006 Author Posted February 7, 2006 Anyone remember "The Rifleman?" Quote
Tom Adams Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Anyone wanna take a shot at this show? Although I didn't watch it during it's hey-day, I saw many re-runs. Quote
Mark Hardy Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Is the one with the old Cessna 310 "Sky King"? The other one is some sort of "Little Rascals"/"Our Gang" thingy, it appears... "Barney Miller" was a great show, as was "WKRP"... but they're of a different era, no? Quote
oscarsear Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Jamie Farr, Max Klinger on MASH, broke into entertainment as an indian on F-Troop. If he'd not gotten that initial role he said he was going to give up his lengthy acting quest. Quote
Mighty Favog Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 "Barney Miller" was a great show, as was "WKRP"... but they're of a different era, no? Not like anyone cares but I get this question alot. There has never been (in Cincinnati anyway) a station with those call letters. Ther are two that are close (WKRC-AM and WKRQ-FM) but the show was supposed to be patterned after WKRC; although I fail to see the similarity. Quote
oscarsear Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Boom3........ A+ It ran from 57 thru 60...then apparently crashed[] Quote
Jeff Matthews Posted February 7, 2006 Author Posted February 7, 2006 It's amazing the things that are almost forgetten. Quote
Jeff Matthews Posted February 7, 2006 Author Posted February 7, 2006 Or, Marcus Welby, MD. Now, who remembers that one? That was a favorite. That and the next one.... Quote
Jeff Matthews Posted February 7, 2006 Author Posted February 7, 2006 How about Barnaby Jones? Now whatever has happened to TV? Quote
Jeff Matthews Posted February 7, 2006 Author Posted February 7, 2006 Back in nursery school, all the kids would rush to find a spot around the TV when the "Sasquatch" episodes played.... Quote
garymd Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Watched a lot of cartoons as a kid, this one is fairly obscure: OMG!! Gigantor. One of my all-time favorites! How about Sinbad The Sailor with Salty the Parrot by his side? Beeny & Cecil? Hercules, hero of song and story......with the strength of ten ordinary men. Quote
garymd Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Anyone remember Ranger Howl? I think he was local to the DC area. I was scheduled to be on the show but had to go to a funeral that weekend in NY. I still have not forgiven my parents. Quote
Jeff Matthews Posted February 7, 2006 Author Posted February 7, 2006 Gary, post pics. You can Google images of these oldies. Also, I just have to do this since I have an unrestrained urge! Your handle just shouts out to me every time: Garymd-ana, Garymd-ana, Gary-Garymd-ana, My home....... sweet...... home.......!!!!! [] Thank you! Thank you! Thank you very much! Thank you! And you!!! Thank you! [] Quote
