MilesArcher Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 That's correct, Lawrence. It was her first TV series and her face was never seen. You're up next, Lawrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Next: This syndicated TV series lasted 2 seasons and 78 episodes. The main character was based on a real-life person involved in the justice system. Many guest-stars went on to fame, including Leonard Nimoy who appears as a young gang member in one episode, and Mary Tyler Moore in another episode, where she is accused of slipping secrets to the Commies!

LawrenceA Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 This beloved stand-up comedian has starred in numerous TV series. Two were huge hits, lasting for several seasons, and are still being shown in rerun syndication to this day. However, neither won the Emmy for Best Comedy series.

No, this guy had many shows on TV, often with some variation of his name in the title. The ones that were big hits were in the 70's and 80's, while the one that won the Emmy was in the 60's. He's still alive, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 It's got to be Bob Newhart. The first one, "The Bob Newhart Show" was not a sitcom, but was more of a variety show. The second, "The Bob Newhart Show" was the sitcom where he played a psychologist. The third, "Newhart" was the sitcom where he played a Vermont innkeeper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 There was a 60's comedy series about a poor beach combing family that lived in a community where they were in constant conflict with the upper crust rich folks of the local yacht club. The family's other sources of income included running chartered fishing tours and selling fish-on-a stick. Can you name the series and at least one of the stars?

MilesArcher Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 That's the one, DGF. Here is a real short clip of the opening credits: It also featured a pre-Laugh-In Judy Carne as John Dehner's daughter, who is in love with Sam Bailey's son, played by Les Brown Jr, the son of the band leader. Clint Howard had played a kid with a sandwich and no dialogue on "The Andy Griffith Show". Here he actually speaks. Sterling Holloway actually was living on Balboa Island when this series was filmed. It only lasted one season. It's your turn now, DGF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 That one was an easy one for me, DGF. My father had his own dance band when I was a kid, Unfortunately, I inherited no musical ability, but I did grow up listening to lots of Big Band music. Now, another TV series where poor folks live among the rich aired in the 60's. This time, the poor family had been wealthy, but they lost their fortune. They are supported by the state and still try to live as if they were wealthy in their Long Island community. Can you name the series and the female star?

The Pruitts of Southampton-- I don't know how in the world I remember this one because it didn't last a whole season, I think. I probably remembered it because Phyllis Diller was the star and I really liked her stand up. But I never bothered to watch this show. I think it was on ABC. Phyllis didn't really fit into the situation comedy format very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 You are correct, Princess. I agree that Phyllis was better doing stand-up comedy and as a guest on talk shows. Here is a short clip of the show's opening. You may have noticed old movie pros Reginald Gardner and Grady Sutton as cast regulars. The show was kind of a reverse twist on "The Beverly Hillbillies", where now a rich family becomes poor and they have trouble adapting. Good job, Princess. It's your turn now.
