Remember any?

[dukehjsteve]

Lots of familiar names, but I remember none of them ! Must have all been super short run bombs .

[kuha]

Very interesting....even though I can't say I recall any of these. On the second (I think) one, it's obvious that the theme song is a version of "Take Five" even before Dave Brubeck's name comes up...

Ah yes, the 60s, my prime TV-addiction years. I'm amazed at how many of those that I have zero recollection of (had to be VERY short-lived). But some of those were hit shows that I watched: THE Cat, Hawk, Burke's Law, and then there's my favorite character actor from back then, Robert Lansing. Who can answer this trivia question: what famous historical character did he play in Chuck Connor's show (before The Rifleman), Branded?

Don't know the answer, but Connors (sp) starred in "The Rifleman" before he did "Branded."

I'll take a wild ass guess and say US Grant.

T.H.E Cat was unusual as a half-hour drama show in the 1960's. The only other one that comes to mind was N.Y.P.D. Of course, in the late 1950's there was Perter Gunn.

And the two professionals sports he played were ...?

And in one of them he was famous for something we all thought only began to occur in the mid-70s/early 80s ... ?

Conners played both professional baseball and basketball. For the Celtics? Did he dunk?

[lonewolf]

Do not remember any of those shows. Recognized names of some actors and a couple of the themes songs kinda jiggled my music memory.

[jhc68]

Same here.... a couple of songs were familiar but I couldn't have associated them with the series names. And I only recalled about half the series titles. And I watched A LOT of TV!

I loved that show. Robert Loggia oozed style and suave. Action, intrigue, and gorgeous, usually dark-eyed, babes! [There was a gypsy cultural tie-in.]

Used to come on right before "The Avengers"--Friday or Saturday evenings, if (admittedly faulty) memory serves.

Anyone besides me remember what "T.H.E" stood for? Hint: It was the character's name, and he always said it--a' la Bond, a movie contemporary nearly all of these character's were patterned after--at the end of the teaser.
