I am watching Route 66 the old tv show, what a cool show.

[texanwitch]

I don't remember the show, a little to young to have really liked it.

Was the show really popular, I do like the plots on the show.

The guys are nice to look at.

It is on MeTV, not on cable.

1. It was popular with my older brother, who modeled himself on Kookie from 77 Sunset Strip.

IIRC one of the guys in R66 was the senior cop on Adam-12.

2. Todd was on Adam-12.

I like the car, and traveling around the country.

I like the scenery, most of that is gone now.

Good show.

15. Martin Milner

Good actor and always seems genuine.

There is a bit of the old 66 still in Arizona. West of Flagstaff, north of I-40, west to Kingman. Just two lane blacktop heading into the sunset.

18. Interesting bit from his wiki page:

During the filming of Route 66, Milner became concerned about his lack of time spent at home with his young family. He outfitted a Chevrolet Corvair Greenbriar wagon for himself, his wife Judy, his young children (Andrew was not yet born), the family housekeeper and the family dog, so that he could have his home life on the road, and so that his children would have the presence of their father. He was relatively unconcerned about the effect of this nomadic life on Molly and Stuart, who were too young to notice much difference. As for his eldest, Amy, Milner felt that the travel would enhance her ability to make friends wherever she went.

13. For you brother.

3. Yes, the show was very popular in its day

Listen to the dialogue. It's far more complex and intelligent that what you hear on TV today.

[texanwitch]

6. Excellent show, very adult.

I may have watched the show but it would have went over my head.

I think Netflix has the dvd's.

[cyberswede]

4. Great show!

I watched it in reruns on Nick at Night during college in the 80s. I loved the clothes and the music. You'll probably see lots of famous stars before they were famous - Barbara Eden, Martin Sheen, Suzanne Pleshette, etc.

[texanwitch]

7. That is a great picture.

The guys just drove around and had jobs for a short time.

I don't know if you could do that now.

I have watched about 8 episodes so far, lots of soon to famous actors.

5. It harkens back to a time before freeways...

when you actually had to pass through towns and villages along the way.

Driving somewhere has become a lot like flying there, just closer to the ground.

8. Au'pair in Oregon City:

11. Nina Foch. The lady in the Minnie Pearl hat. And the theme song.

Brings back memories.
The kid running away.
The face is very familiar, but I can't recall his name.
Ah...a very young Jim Hutton?

[texanwitch]

12. I think the kid was Robert Walkers kid, looks like him.

I just saw Robert Walker on a old movie.

9. It was one of my favorite shows.

It was very popular.

Route 66 and 77 Sunset Street were great!

14. It is a great song, too.

The original:
Nat King Cole

A cover version by the Rolling Stones

[Honeycombe8]

19. Yeah, man. I'm diggin' it. That's cool, slick.

Seriously, I only remember the song. Never saw the show, that I recall. But I've seen clips and pics.

[sendero]

16. One of my all time favorites..

... and I love the Nelson Riddle theme music also.

you can get the whole series on DVD for about $60. Awesome.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

17. Hell yes

I used to also enjoy "77 Sunset Strip," another atmosphere-soaked show from the same era.

MeTV is GREAT...Sunday mornings I always watch Honey West and Laurel & Hardy.

20. A great show!

I'm not sure if I just have fond memories of this program
at that time, or if television was better then.

This episode in particular sticks with me:
