How many people remember the shows The Magician or Longstreet? A few others I remember are Toma and The Night Stalker.


Any others?



Cat

I only remember Night Stalker  :-\\

I vaguely remember 'The Magician' (Bill Bixby in pre-Hulk days)...which used to be shoved on the box on a Sunday afternoon - I couldn't have been no more than eight or nine...!

The others? Totally alien to me...

I don't remember any of these, the one forgotten show that comes to mind for me is California Fever, we had a thread on it not ago :)

one that I vaguely remember was Angie starring Robert Hays.  I remember Doris Roberts was on this show

i used to like "the courtship of eddies father" also with bill bixby, brandon cruz and a chinese lady who always said"yes mr. eddies father"..the song was cool too..if i can find it i will buy it or download it..any help with this?? it was called "people let me tell you bout my best friend"..

It was sung by Harry Nilsson (Best Friends).  Yeah, one of the best shows.  I liked Uncle Norman and Bill Bixby's secretary, Tina

Remember the San Pedro Beach Bums?  (Football, you bet)  Or Holmes and Yoyo (about a robot cop (played by John Schuck),
Also used to watch Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot, along with Ultraman.

Then of course there was "Chmielewski Funtime".  ;D

I watched Kukla, Fran & Ollie when I was young.(I hear ya laughin') Remember "Movin' On"? "Courtship of Eddie's Father" isn't really forgotten, it's on ALTV every Sunday evening.
I remember "The Magician" & "Nightstalker"(it's on Sci-Fi once in a while). Was the narrator guy in Nightstalker" the same guy from "A Christmas Story"? Haven't watched the new "Nightstalker".

Remember the San Pedro Beach Bums? 


yep! around the same time as The Saint  :)

a favourite western of mine was Alias Smith and Jones. i think tvland puts it on when they have one of their theme weekends.

Bustin Loose was one a have a vague memory of, also Harvey Korman had a short lived one.

Mr T and Tina

i believe Pat Morita (Arnold from Happy Days) was the star of this show.

a favorite of mine that i hardly ever anyone mention anymore is "family affair." had the wise-cracking butler and everything. cute as a button!

http://www.timvp.com/familyaf.jpg

there was also "night gallery." loved that one. it was on late so i'd have to engage in some trickery to watch it. oo! the one with the guy in the house, he kills somebody or something, some painter, and then the paintings in the house change to show the dead guy coming out of his grave and stalking up the house to get undead, zombified revenge! so self-referential, so spooky. i didn't sleep for a week.

i remember a lot of these only showed in texas. in washington they didn't show them.

vis-a-vis kukla fran and ollie -- on DC20, though, they had for a while a 50s retro thing in the 80s; two hours of dobie gillis and the patty duke show and stuff like that. pretty cool, i'd never had any exposure to those shows.

I remember Night Gallery. There was also Dark Shadows. I watched Alias Smith and Jones reruns a lot in the late 70's. Kung Fu was another one. Many parodies made from Grasshopper and Master.

There was another show called Turnabout with Sharon Gless and John Schuck.  It was the same "plot" as Freaky Friday only it was a husband and wife who switched bodies.


FYI: Longstreet was a detective series where the main character was blind. Toma was the "insperation" for Baretta.


BTW, I do remember Kula, Fran, and Ollie.

that sounds interesting! was it real progressive? or goofy, like that i love lucy where lucy and ricky trade roles, only to discover at the end that the Man is meant to be the Breadwinner and the Woman meant to be the Homemaker? ack, i hate that one.

:D who remembers My Favorite Martian? I loved that show.

can you elaborate on "altv"...???what does it stand for?i want to see if i can get it on directv so i can watch courtship of eddies father..

can you elaborate on "altv"...???what does it stand for?i want to see if i can get it on directv so i can watch courtship of eddies father..

It's American Life Television. Previously it was GTV(Good Life Television). They show 60's & 70's shows mostly. To name a few: Chico & the Man, Welcome Back Kotter, The Courtship of Eddie's Father, Combat, Gallant Men, Maverick, Kung Fu, I Spy, Man From Uncle/Girl From Uncle, Bronco &many others(Gee, I may have named some forgotten TV shows just now  :D ). They have a website. I'm sure you can find availability info there.
I have a large backyard dish and ALTV is a free digital channel with a subscription to any channel or package.

i want to see if i can get it on directv so i can watch courtship of eddies father..

I checked the ALTV, actually ALN now(the website is http://www.goodtv.com/ )and noticed they list the satellites used for broadcast. I then looked these up at lyngsat to see which digital format they used. I don't think they use the DirectTV or DishNetwork format, which I believe is powervu.
All may not be lost though. You may be able to pick up a cheap MPEG free-to-air receiver and a used dish and watch ALN on that. This may require a little bit of learning on your part since MPEGs can be hard to get a clear signal on depending on where you live.

ok throwback :D:

I miss that show.

I remember

James At 15...The second series was called James At 16. One episode, well the one I remember most, had James, a photographer, taking a photo at a football game that showed the winning team scoring a try that won the game. James zoomed in on the picture and proved that the try was not legal as the ball was over the sideline, or something to that effect.

I LOVED James at 15/16.  Yeah, yeah, I had a major thing for Lance Kerwin. I also remember "Mind Your Language".  They did a similar show here in the States called "What a Country" with Yakov Smirnoff but I didn't think it was as good as the orginal (and didn't last too long either). A couple of other British shows I remember are Goode Neighbors and Butterflies.

Cat


Do you mean The Good Life, Cat?  A couple who grow their own veg and keep animals in their back garden much to the amazement of their posh nieghbours?  The BBC is currently repeating it (again)

Butterflies is another classic

Here's one for the Canadians ...

CIRCUS starring Cal Dodd and Sherisse Lawrence.  It was a Circus variety show that ran on CTV from 1978-1985.  At the end of each show, Cal and Sherisse would sing a song  :)

The original hosts of this show were Cherrill & Robbie Rae, best known as the husband and wife disco group The Raes

I miss CBC programming. Is Royal Canadian Air Farce still on?

Yeah, that's it. I did a little research and they did rename it Good Neighbors here in the states. Why? Your guess is as good as mine.




Cat

Does anybody remember a summer replacement show called "Bridget Loves Bernie"?  ::)  I liked that show a lot.  I think it aired in the summer of '73.

A couple of its stars had notable acting careers.

It might not be considered "politically correct" these days  :-\\

Actually we are both wrong-it was The Frantics.


LAST WILL AND TEMPERAMENT

performed by the Frantics


LAWYER: As executor of Mr. Muldoon's estate, I have been empowered to read
Mr. Muldoon's Last Will and Testament.

HEDGE: Well, get on with it! The bars open soon.

JENNY: Oh, poor Arthur! Waah!

HANK: There, there Jenny!

RALSTON: How predictably boring.

MRS. MULROY: I never worked for a kinder man.

LAWYER: If we are all seated, I shall proceed with the reading.

RALSTON: I knew it.

HEDGE: Hah, hah, hah, hah.

LAWYER: I, Arthur Durham Muldoon, being of sound mind and body --

HEDGE: That's a laugh! Hah, hah, hah, hah...

LAWYER: -- do hereby divide up my considerable estate as follows: To my
overly emotional sister Jenny --

JENNY: Waahh!

HANK: Jenny, darling, he's talking about us.

LAWYER: -- who grubbed with her husband Hank, grubbed for everything they
could get from me and then shed crocodile tears when I needed sympathy; to
Jenny I leave... a boot to the head.

HEDGE: Hah, hah, hah, hah!

JENNY: A what ? (THUMP!) Ow!

HANK: Jenny, are you okay?

LAWYER: And another boot to her wimpy husband Hank.

HANK: (THUMP!) Ow!

LAWYER: Ah, but still, you are my sister. You have both admired my Rolls
Royce, and since I no longer need it --

JENNY: Oh, dear Arthur, he's too kind!

LAWYER: -- I bequeath... another boot to the head.

JENNY: What? (THUMP!) Ow!

HEDGE: Hah, hah, hah, hah!

LAWYER: And another one for the wimp.

HANK: (THUMP!) Ow!

LAWYER: Next, to my alcoholic brother --

HEDGE: Hey, I don't want no boot to the head.

LAWYER: -- to dear Hedge, who has never worked a day in his drunken life --

HEDGE: I'm covering up my head!

LAWYER: -- I leave my wine cellar and three crates of my finest whiskey.

HEDGE: Really?

LAWYER: And a boot to the head.

HEDGE: (THUMP!) Oh!

LAWYER: And another for Jenny and the wimp.

JENNY: (THUMP!) Uh!

HANK: (THUMP!) Ow!

LAWYER: Next, to my know-it-all nephew, Ralston --

RALSTON: This is so predictable.

LAWYER: I leave a boot to the head.

RALSTON: (THUMP!) Uh! I knew it.

LAWYER: And one for Jenny and the wimp.

JENNY: (THUMP!) Ow!

HANK: (THUMP!) Oh!

LAWYER: This takes care of family obligations. And now, to Mrs. Mulroy --

MRS. MULROY: Oh, ah, I don't want nuthin'.

LAWYER: -- who took care of me faithfully these many many years, who cared,
made me laugh, brought me tea --

MRS. MULROY: Oh, I didn't mind.

LAWYER: To Mrs. Mulroy, I bequeath... a boot to the head.

MRS. MULROY: (THUMP!) Oh!

LAWYER: And one for Jenny and the wimp.

JENNY: (THUMP!) Ah!

HANK: (THUMP!) Oh!

LAWYER: And so, to my cat Mittens, I leave my entire, vast... boot to the
head.

MITTENS: (THUMP!) Mroooow!

LAWYER: And finally, to my lawyer, who has helped me on this will, I leave
not a boot to the head, but a rabid Tasmanian Devil TO BE PLACED IN HIS
TROUSERS??? (growling...) Uhh! Huh! Huh! Huh! (panicking...) And, and, and
I leave my entire estate of ten million dollars to the people of Calgary so
they can afford to move somewhere decent

They did a follow-up

PART I : THE LESSON


MASTER: Approach student, close the circle at the feet of the master. You
have come to me asking that I be your guide along the path of Tae Kwon
Leap. But, be warned: To learn its ways, you must learn the ways of your
own soul. Let us meditate on this wisdom now. So: Ohhhhmmmmm...

STUDENT1 (Ed Gruberman): Uh, sir! Sir! (Oo!, Oo!) Sir!

MASTER: Who disturbs our meditation, as a pebble disturbs the stillness of
the pond?

EG: Me! Ed Gruberman!

MASTER: E-Ed Gruberman.

EG: Yeah, uh, no disrespect or nuthin', but, uh, how long is this gonna take?

MASTER: Tae Kwon Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading
forever towards the horizon.

EG: So like, what, an hour or so?

MASTER: No, no, we have not even begun upon the path. Ed Gruberman, you
must learn patience.

EG: Yeah yeah yeah, patience. How long will that take?

MASTER: Time has no meaning. To a true student, a year is as a day.

EG: A YEAR??? I wanna beat people up right now! I got the pajamas! Yah
yah yah hwoom!

MASTER: 'Beat people up'...

EG: Yeah! Just show me all those nifty moves so I can start trashing
bozos! That's all I came here for! YO ASTA STA STA!!! Pretty good, ey?

MASTER: The only use of Tae Kwon Leap is self-defense. Do you know who
said that? Ki Lo Ni, the great teacher.

EG: Yeah? Well the best defense is a good offense, you know who said
that? Mel, the cook on 'Alice'.

MASTER: Tae Kwon Leap is the wine of purity, not the vinegar of
hostility. Meditate upon this truth with us. Ohmmmmmm.....

EG: Listen, shrimp! Now are you gonna show me some fancy moves, or am I
gonna start wipin' the walls with you?

MASTER: Ed Gruberman, you fail to grasp Tae Kwon Leap. Approach me that
you might see.

EG: All right! Finally some action!

MASTER: Observe closely, class. Boot to the Head! (SH-ZOOMP!)

EG (drunkenly): Owww! You booted me in the head!

MASTER: You are lucky, Ed Gruberman. Few novices experience so much of
Tae Kwon Leap so soon.

EG (quietly, to himself): Ow, oh, my head!

MASTER: Now we continue. Ohhhmmmmm...

EG: Hey! I wasn't ready! Come and get me now shorty, hah? Come on, are
ya chicken?

MASTER: Boot to the head! (SH-ZOOMP!)

EG (again, drunkenly): Oww! Okay, now I'm ready, okay, now, come on, try it
now.

MASTER: Boot to the head! (SH-ZOOMP!)

EG: Mind if I just lie down here for a minute?

MASTER: Now class, we shall return to our..

STUDENT2: Master?

MASTER: It is wrong to tip the vessel of knowledge, student.

STUDENT2: Many apologies, master. But I feel Ed Gruberman is not wholly wrong.

MASTER: What do you mean?

STUDENT2: I want to boot some head, too.

MASTER: Have you learned nothing from the lesson of Ed Gruberman?

STUDENT2: Yes, master. I have learned two things. First, that anger
is a weapon only to one's opponent.

MASTER: Very good.

STUDENT2: And secondly, get in the first shot. Boot to the head. (SH-ZOOMP!)

MASTER: You missed.

STUDENT2: Yeah. Well...

MASTER: You too shall be honored to learn a lesson...

STUDENT2: You don't have to, you know. I gotta be going...

MASTER: Boot to the head! (SH-ZOOMP!)

STUDENT2 (agonizing pain): Oyyy oy oyyyy.... Oh....

MASTER: Can anyone tell us what lesson has been learned here?

STUDENT3: Yes, master. Not a single one of us could defeat you.

MASTER: You gain wisdom, child.

STUDENT3: So we'll hafta gang up on ya! Get 'im guys!

(Master throws many Boot-to-the-head's and SH-ZOOMP's, and people are groaning
in pain)

MASTER: And now class, let us rejoin the mind to the body and gaze into
the heart of the candle of meditation.

UNISON: Ohhhmmmm....

MASTER: Very good, class.



PART II : THE SONG


Yi yi yai yi....

People smoking in bed!
People voting Republican,
Give them a boot to the head!

Boot to the Head! Yah, yah...
Boot to the Head! Yah, yah...

Boot to the Head! Yah yah yah.. yah. yah yah yah...

Mechanics who can't fix a car,
Politicians who can't think!
The salesman who won't leave me alone,
The waiter who forgot my drink!

(Refrain)
Boot to the head! Yah, yah..
Boot to the head! Yah, yah..
Boot to the head! Yah, yah..
BOOT TO THE HEAD



Cat

Are you talking about the comedy troupe that does "Boot to the Head"?


No Cat, are you thinking of "Army Career" instead? "Boot to The Head" is also known as "Ti Kwan Leap". Royal Canadian Air Farce is a political satire show which would be too politically incorrect to run in the states. I used to watch it when CBC broadcasted in anolog.

That was Kids in the Hall

Actually, it was The Frantics . Kids In The Hall did "I'm squishing your head".

Ooops, I was a nanosecond too late on posting  ;D

I think I have heard some of the Royal Canadian Air Farce stuff and always got them confused with the Frantics. I think they did "Dial 1 for help" and several other skits. Dr. Demento plays them a lot.

Anyone else remember (I think)  The Guns of Will Sonnett  With Dack Rambo and Walter Brennan  w.

Tammy, Ghost and Mrs. Muire, Shoestring and Manimal. Please remind me who played as Tammy, Det. Shoestring, the Ghost, Mrs Muire and the guy on Manimal. Glad that you still remember 'Laverne and Shirley' and 'Cum-Cum.'
Kum-Kum(as it is written in Indonesia) is a Japanese cartoon. Kum-Kum is my favourite after the Flintstones (both are prehistoric animated)
