Variety Shows...Dean Martin, Sonny and Cher, Andy Williams and I would never miss Laugh-In.

Daytime...All My Children, Dark Shadows

Weekly Series...Batman, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Gilligan's Island and I must admit The Partridge Family, Room 222, The Courtship of Eddie's Father, Julia, The Incredible Hulk. I also liked detective shows like Mannix, Cannon, The Mod Squad and I still watch Hawaii Five-O in reruns (had so many actors as guest stars).

Does anyone remember Sally Star, Chief Halftown, Pixanne, Lorenzo, Gene London, or Al Alberts (They may have been shows local to just Phiily).

No one mentioned The Men from UNCLE. One of the guys from that show is playing Ducky, the Doc in NCIS. How about Ozzie and Harriet? I hid the fact that I liked Ricky Nelson, the singer but as I aged, brings me back fond memories listening his songs. I don't think no one mentioned a western series I believe starring Steve McCqueen where he had a sawed off shot gun instead of a six shooter. Forgot the name of the show but loved it.

I think that was Wanted: Dead or Alive. Steve McQeen the king of cool.
The show lasted 3 years 1958-1961. 94 episodes.

Villagegolfer. You are absolutely right. It was indeed Wanted: Dead or Alive. Steve McQueen was cool like Cool Hand Luke and Paul Newman. You don't have to answer this but Steve McQueen was in a great war movie about Nazi concentration camp where he finally escapes on a motorcycle. My senior moment is getting worse. :shocked:

Steve McQueen in Wanted - Dead or Alive is my recollection.

Should have finished reading the whole thread. Sorry -A day late and a dollar short. :)

All my favorites have ben mentioned except for Barney Miller.

Great ensemble cast. A friend of mine mentioned Barney Miller to me and he said the guy who played Tessio in the Godfather was hilarious.

I thought he was pulling my leg so I watched and it became one of my favorites. Fish said to Barney that he needed the afternoon off. When Barney asked why, Fish said, " I have to go down to payroll and prove that I am still alive. :1rotfl:

Sorry Barb, That Girl was Marlo Thomas.

I may be wrong as usually I am but was "Taxi" mentioned? Another great ensemble cast. Jim Ignatowki, (Reverend Jim), used to crack me up.

It's nice to reminisce about the old television programs.

Great, iconic talented people.
