A flickering light beckons. A voice calls you forth. There is a gentle tug of nostalgia ... you've just entered the Classic Television Zone.

Classic Television


Clint Eastwood(Rowdy Yates), ... as he appeared in Rawhide

 

Clint Eastwood(Rowdy Yates), ... as he appeared in Rawhide.
My only memory of the show during it's original run is seeing Rowdy Yates crawling towards or behind a collection of tents.
Considering that I was probably three or four at the time, I wouldn't advise die-hard fans to go flipping through their Rawhide episode guides looking for episodes where Clint crawled.
I think there's a Friends episode where Monica crawls(actually Monica grovels in 2x21 'The one with the bullies'), or was that the MASH episode where Frank grovels?(There are a few of those)

Did you know that one of the stars of the Rat Patrol was featured in the smash hit TITANIC? Guess who ... (Hans Gudegast AKA Eric Braedon)

Soon this area will feature a salute to classic shows of the past. From Get Smart, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, and Wonder Woman to The Rat Patrol. Just recently, I received e-mail from someone asking about Green Acres. They wanted to know what Mrs. Douglas' first name was. I suppose Mrs. didn't suffice. Well, here's Green Acres a site that'll answer most of your questions.

From Rawhide to Bonanza and on to The Wild Wild West


I enjoyed Enterprise,but am looking forward to seeing the latest incarnation of Kirk and crew in the new movie.

I showed the two part Batman(1966-68)episode with the Green Hornet to my students here in Indonesia.
They loved it.
The newest Galactica is excellent.


From Star Trek, and The Twilight Zone to The Incredible Hulk. From Batman, Superman to The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman. I'll try to include stills and as much information about the stars as possible. I'll be adding some info and links on W.K.R.P. in Cincinnati
Thanks for this link Angela.

Johnny was cool, in a weird kinda laid back way.
Herb and Les were 'obtuse and addled'.
Andy was cool in an oddly vulnerable way,and Bailey and Jennifer were different facets of the girl next door,the bombshell;the unattainable and the best friend. M.A.S.H. and

Cheers


as soon as I can find anything.

I miss M.A.S.H. Here was a show that was funny, sad, thought-provoking and sometimes whimsical.
Ah, good old Crab-Apple Cove, Maine ... or perhaps you prefer Ottumwa,Iowa. The most glaring flaw of the show's long history was its inability to develop Frank Burns beyond a mere simpering foil for Pierce and Trapper, and later for Hunnicut.
Margaret evolved nicely, as did Radarand Klinger. Hawkeye Pierce was an ongoing work-in-progress and as such was both the series' fulcrum and envelope-pusher.

 

I really enjoyed Cheers. The show was great, except that more than one character was under-developed or misused.

Family ties was an entertaining show with a cast of likable characters. Who was your favorite? And who the hell is Ubu?

I know almost nothing about the children's shows of the 60's and 70's ... anyone with knowledge is welcome to contribute.

I just found out that they're showing Babylon5 here in Indonesia. It had been on for about six months, ... then like reformation,it disappeared. It has now vanished again.

 

It had vanished for a time and now it's back. We hope the Power of Three can insure a long, entertaining run for Charmed


This is a great link for other current favorites.

  This will focus almost exclusively on American television, but I'm open to any suggestions/submissions.

I'm a big Green Hornet fan so you'll find that info here soon.

The Green Hornet and Kato

British Television
Does anyone have a Benny Hill link?
