CineMaven Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 "CeneMaven and Miss Goddess: I too liked Mr. Novak. Do you remember the Jackie & Gayle novelty song 'Why Can?t My Teachers All Look Like Mr. Novak Instead of Like Mr. Ed?' I guess they meant all the male teachers..." I don't remember this song. But I have a vague memory of baseball type cards for Ben Casey and Dr. Kildare. By the by, not ONE of my teachers looked like the gorgeous James Franciscus. But my gym teacher, Mr. Holmes looked like Troy Donahue. All the girls loved doing jumping jacks for him. Robert Conrad was not in Medical Center, Chad Everett and Tyne Daly?s father, James, were. I bring it up in case it is or comes out; this might help if you want to get it." I was a fan of "Medical Center." Again, at school the next day (I think the show came on Monday nites) we talked about how cute Chad Everett was...his leather jackets and tight tight pants. His acting???? "I did not have TV in the early 70?s; when I finally did the first show that came on was Owen Marshall. I stayed with it through all his revolving door assistants. Arthur Hill was magnificent." Another Arthur Hill fan. Wasn't he great? I can't stress enough how much I loved his speaking voice. Edited by: CineMaven on Mar 25, 2010 6:30 PM...You remember Jackie and Gayle??? OMG.

patful Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 *Mr. Novak* ??? I guess I didn't spend enough time in front of the tube. Don't ask for my favorite episodes, but *Get Smart* was tops, I had each episode memorized. I haven't seen it since 1980. I still watch *Bonanza* , and can tell anyone that dares watching it with me what will happen next. Link to post Share on other sites
jamesjazzguitar Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Get Smart is one of my top TV shows and I also have seen every show. When the new movie about Get Smart came out around 2 years ago a station here in the So Cal area had the TV show on back to back for about a year. It is still one but at 2:00 am or something. Anything with Mel Brooks and Buck Henry behind it has to be funny. Link to post Share on other sites
patful Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I was so fanatical about *Get Smart* that I searched for a Sunbeam Tiger, Karmann Ghia, and Opel GT for my first car. No luck. Link to post Share on other sites

LuckyDan Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 >. I'll never look at the Professor the same. Say---did they ever reveal his character's name on the show or was he always just "The Professor"?? Roy Hinkley. The Skipper's was Jonas Grumby, and Mary Ann's last name was Summers. "Lovie" Howell's first name was Eunice. http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/nonames.asp Link to post Share on other sites

movieman1957 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 It is funny you put those two together. There is an old Alan Sherman song about singular and plurals. And one of the lines is "And when Ben Casey meets Kildare that's called a "Paradox." Link to post Share on other sites

DougieB Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 "American Bandstand" had all the teen idols lip-synching to Top 40 hits, but if you wanted your rock 'n' roll, "The Ed Sullivan Show" was the only place to turn to for many years. You had to sit through all the plate-spinners and puppets, etc. to get to the good stuff, but the live rock bands and singers were something to behold. My aunt was visiting and managed to talk our parents out of letting us watch Elvis, but my first looks at The Beatles, The Stones, James Brown, etc. all came courtesy of Ed. "Shindig" and "Hullabaloo", which came along in the mid-sixties, were both agressively "groovy", but both featured some awesome acts. Link to post Share on other sites
CineMaven Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Heyyyyyyyyyyy Jose Jiminez!!! There's a place for Topo Gigio in tv history. Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 A group of us went down to the American Bandstand studios in Philly once to try to get on the show. We couldn't get on. The riff-raff could only get in if a lot of the regulars didn't show up..........I agree that Sullivan was required rock and roll viewing for the "youngsters". Link to post Share on other sites
DougieB Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Reminds me of when Tracy auditioned for 'The Corny Collins Show": "The Council will now meet in secret, debate your character flaws, and arrive at a decision." Sorry, C.M., didn't mean to slight Topo or Jose. Ed provided a great showcase for comedians too. I remember Nichols and May especially.

MissGoddess Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 > > Thanks very much for the recommendations. I think the earliest seasons are available on IMDB so I am going to have to check these out when I have the time. > And just so you know, all the DVD seasons are available to view on Hulu.com > Oh and speaking of *I Love Lucy* episodes while I do love the classic chocolate factory & Lucy does a commercial episode, my favorite I Love Lucy ep is from the 2nd season when she finds out she is pregnant and tries to tell Ricky but keeps failings in her attempt. I think this type of storyline has been done quite often but this was probably the first and I just love how Lucy finally gets to tell Ricky with him singing that sweet song in the nightclub for a Father that turns out to be him. There was a part where Desi was really emotional (since Lucille Ball really was pregnant) and the band members had to shot out one of Desi's lines to remind him. Anyways I just think it's one of the sweetest moments on Television. OH, me too! I almost listed that one as my favorite, too, because it's really moving and sweet. I named the other because I love seeing Lucy and Desi perform their "Cuban Pete" routine which they did on the road together. Very sexy! Chick Chicky Boom! Link to post Share on other sites

DownGoesFrazier Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I guess Topo Gigio's career really went into the toilet when the Sullivan show was cancelled. Also Myron Cohen's. Link to post Share on other sites
