TV shows that only you seem to remember?

[darkstar]

67 yrs here, but no one my age in friends circle seems to recall a show called Coronet Blue from 1967. Kind of existential a la The Prisoner as far as tone with some Bourne Identity in there for the plot.

[Bok_Tukalo]

1. It's Your Move

Jason Bateman as a mischievous kid. I loved it. But I was very young.

[BOSSHOG]

2. Crime Story. Late 80s

I really liked it. Didn’t last long. Doesn’t ring a bell with many.

Dennis Farina, crusty old cop

[Wiz Imp]

14. Was very good but not that obscure. It lasted 2 full seasons. 44 episodes.

[boonecreek]

31. Dennis Farina was an actual Chicago cop.

Detective in the burglary detail.

[BOSSHOG]

33. He looked like a Detective

For real and a Cop on TV.

[boonecreek]

37. He also played

Det. Joe Fontana for a few seasons on "Law & Order.

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. I remember that.

It didn't last long.

My entry is a program called Beacon Hill.

[darkstar]

41. Cool!

You are the first person I’ve met…IRL or otherwise…that recalls it.

What’s Beacon Hill about?

[greatauntoftriplets]

43. It was set about 100 years ago, and was about a wealthy Boston family.

It was something of a soap opera, and didn't last long. I enjoyed it.

[Sneederbunk]

4. Rescue 8

[lastlib]

5. Sledge Hammer

"Trust me--I know what I'm doing..."

[Leghorn21]

9. YESSSS!!!

“A mind is a terrible thing to waste people with”

YESSSS TO SLEDGE HAMMER!!!!

[catbyte]

10. I LOVE that show.

Full episodes are free on YouTube.

[FM123]

6. Grand

It was on the air about thirty some years ago (maybe only one season?) I think I used to watch it by myself because no one in my family can remember it. Oh, and I loved the theme song too.

I believe it went like this....

Let me ask a question
You can make a guess
Who holds the keys to your happiness?
Is your life up to you
Or does fate have it planned?
Don't think too much
Just do it
Do it grand.

[dweller]

7. Harry O

Just realized it plays at 3am on a local station
First they show The Fugitive , followed by Harry O
I may wake up or not to watch .. my sleep has been disturbed since Jan 20th

😐




✌🏻

[Harker]

27. With Anthony Zerbe. n/t

[livetohike]

8. Honey West 1965-1966.

[IcyPeas]

16. Oh yes, I remember Honey West -- I remember that actress.

[lapfog_1]

11. The Delphi Bureau

mostly because when that show was on I could relate... I had a sort of photographic memory... not like in the show but different.

I used the read the Encyclopedia Britannica for fun... and memorized it.

And I once played an exhibition game of chess ( 8 opponents simultaneously )... blindfolded.

A useful talent... which I wish I still had.

[darkstar]

46. What's the show all about?

I gather it involves someone with a photographic memory, but does it also contain an element of prediction (Delphi) making?

[lapfog_1]

48. The star plays a sort of Federal super agent... capable of associating a lot of facts

quickly ( with the visual clue for the audience of diagrams and micro-fiche photos of figures, etc ) to figure out the crime.

Very often the star, Lawrence Luckinbill, would be chased by the bad guys and use his "power" to get out of some dire situation ( MacGyver like ) because he once read a technical manual about a wheat thresher or something.

[ProfessorGAC]

12. I Remember Coronet Blue

Had a cool jazzy/rockish theme song.
As a kid I thought Frank Converse was cool.
My dad liked it too, and was upset when the series was canceled before the mystery was unraveled.

[darkstar]

42. Right on.

You and greataunofteiplets above are the only folks I’ve run into who recall it whatsoever and it sounds like you maybe even watched it some.

And yes, the theme song was super groovy.

[Wiz Imp]

13. Hot L Baltimore

[Wiz Imp]

15. "Richie Brockelman, Private Eye"

Spinoff from "The Rockford Files". Was actually one of the first shows created by Steven Bochco. Lasted all of 5 episodes.

[darkstar]

44. I can't say for sure I ever watched this

but I remember the character from The RF. He had something of a catch line, right? “The thing of it is is….”

[Wiz Imp]

47. You're right about the catch line! I forgot about that myself.

It was so long ago, I honestly don't know how many episodes of the show I saw but I know I did watch it some because I liked the character from the Rockford Files. I liked him because he was not a typical 70's TV detective. He was apparently in 2 episodes of the Rockford Files - both 2 hour episodes.

[aka-chmeee]

17. Johnny Jupiter

Starred Wright King...Mid 50's IIRC.

[ms liberty]

18. The Charmings, a half-hour sitcom

Judy Parfitt as the Wicked Stepmother (WM) Paul Winfield was The Mirror, Christopher Rich was Prince Charming.

The premise was that some magical spell concocted and miscast by the WM made them all fall asleep for a thousand years. They all woke up in 80's suburban America. Fish out of water scenarios ensue. Chris Rich was always really good at the charming heartthrob doofus role, and when did Judy Parfitt not chew up a scene? It was fun, and an original premise, two things I really love in a TV show.

I think it went one season.

The Charmings https://g.co/kgs/qdPsT3z

[Earl_from_PA]

19. I have 3

When's Things Were Rotten. A Mel Brooks take on Robin Hood.

Quark. Richard Benjamin as a sanitation engineer in space.

Duckman. Animated PI Fowl. Not meant for children.

[surrealAmerican]

20. I, for one, remember all three of those.

We perhaps have similar tastes.

Duckman was a particular favorite of mine.

[Earl_from_PA]

24. All three represent

My sense of humor.

It's a shame only Duckman lasted more than one season...

[Wiz Imp]

23. I was going to mention 2 of those!

[Earl_from_PA]

25. Thanks for that

The Robin Hood episode were the merry man asked for his last meal to be, " a big bowl of broth, with a fork", still makes me laugh...

[boonecreek]

34. I thought Quark was hilarious.

With Henry Silva as the Darth Vader type. There was an episode with
an entity called the "Source", voiced by Hans Conreid. When asked if
the Source is dangerous the Silva character replies "only if it's on your side".

[Mad_Dem_X]

66. I remember Duckman!

Funny show!

[surrealAmerican]

21. Pat Paulson's Half a Comedy Hour

This may have been a "summer replacement" series. I loved it as a kid.

[RazorbackExpat]

50. I remember him sitting in a huge chair in his promos

My mom would never let me watch the actual show, just like Rowan and Martin

[electric_blue68]

22. For a long I didn't know any one who'd seen either ....

Gerold McBoingBoing - a cartoon where the little kid only "spoke" in various sounds to his parents and...

I forget the actual name of it but a animation where this ?soldier helps a witch who tells him to go into a hole in a tree where he ends up in a long hallway with doors.

He opens up 3 doors where there's a guard dog on a treasure chest. Each one the dog itself, the chest, and the dogs' eyes get bigger and bigger! Each chest filed w coins; copper, then silver, finally gold.

Finally a friend of my sister's who became my friend remembered them. 👍

[Niagara]

26. Our House and Father Murphy

[Frasier Balzov]

28. Frank Converse reminds me of Simon Baker.

[The Madcap]

29. The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley

Saturday morning cartoon. Included the illustrious Count Floyd trying to scare the audience of kids.

[displacedvermoter]

30. Bourbon Street Beat

Private eye show ala Hawaiian Eye and 77 Sunset Strip, set in New Orleans.

[BOSSHOG]

35. Wow

Don’t remember that one but New Orleans and Bourbon Street are awesome places for visuals and crime. Never could figure out why CBS cut NCIS New Orleans.

[doc03]

32. Boston Blackie

?si=nZRQx6TwkJyHWuS8

[Mad_Dem_X]

65. My parents had a dog that they named Boston Blackie

Boss, for short.

[boonecreek]

36. How about the"People's Choice"?

With Jackie Cooper, Patricia Breslin and a Basset hound named Cleo who
shared her thoughts with the viewers.

[OldBaldy1701E]

38. Hey Vern, It's Ernest!

Space Academy...

Davey and Goliath...

Mantis...

The Ghost Busters...

[Aristus]

39. "Hot Hero Sandwich".

A Saturday morning sketch-and musical-number show for teens and young adults. It ran from about 1979 to 1981 or so. The sketches tackled issues important to young adults intelligently and with a great deal of humor and empathy.

They also aired celebrity interviews that were a cut above the usual “I’m just here to promote my latest project” fare.

The show was so good, our parents watched it with us.

I was devastated when it when it went off the air.

[Intractable]

40. The Starlost

&list=PLmAyiwH3Lpit9Aaud3XyzGMDNzkrOp0x5

Loved it as a kid. But it's sheer sci-fi trash.

[RazorbackExpat]

54. It's About Time... 1966

Astronauts travel back in time to the Stone Age

[Harker]

58. It's about time, it's about space...

it's about the human race.

[RazorbackExpat]

60. From the same folks who brought you Gilligan's Island

Starring Imogene Coca as a cave woman

[Harker]

64. "Your Show of Shows", with Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca was my mom's favorite.

Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks had a hand in it, too.

[RazorbackExpat]

55. Mickey Finn's music show

Summer of 1966

[GiqueCee]

56. Here's an obscure one for ya...

... "The Man and the Challenge". It starred George Nader, and had a lot of the latest science of the times integral to the plots.

[nuxvomica]

70. Supertrain

Love-Boat style subplots on an atomic-powered train that could cross the country in 36 hours. At it's time, it was the costliest episodic series ever made.

[nuxvomica]

71. "My World and Welcome to It" (1969)

William Windom played a cartoonist based on James Thurber in a sitcom that interweaved animated Thurber cartoons with the live action, which was often surreal. I loved this show, which was cancelled in the first season but managed to sweep the Emmy Awards.

72. Ark II - a post-apocalyptic 70s kid's show with a cool Winnebago and a talking chimp.

Friends & Lovers - a swing and a miss from Mary Tyler Moore's production company, about a double bass player in Boston...starring Paul Sands.
