DexterMiller 21st Jun 2020		TV Hawaii Five-O (1968 - 1980)	James "Danno" MacArthur left after the '78-'79 season. His character nickname was an "in-joke" nod to (then) long-time CBS West Coast programming executive Mike Dann.
DexterMiller 20th Jun 2020		TV Diff'rent Strokes (1978 - 1986)	The series ran on NBC from 1978-1985; with the final season being on ABC. Also, the role of "Maggie" was taken over from Dixie Carter by Mary Ann Mobley when the series changed networks (as Carter had been cast in the equally successful "Designing Women" sitcom at that point).
DexterMiller 11th Jun 2020		TV Scooby Doo Where Are You! (1969 - 1978)	The music during the second season (with the Bubblegum-sounding chase scenes) is the coolest out of the entire show's history. However, the band are different than the one which backed Marks in 1969. The session players in 1970 were: George "Austin Roberts" Robertson (vocals); Danny Janssen (writer/acoustic guitar/synthesizer); Bobby Hart (keyboards/backing vocals); Jerry Scheff (bass); Bob Crowder (drums...whom, also appeared in the animated Hardy Boys as the first television Black cartoon character; in the then-concurrent series Scooby Doo wound up winning the ratings war against!); and Sue Steward (writer/backing vocals). A LOT of the same personnel worked on Hanna-Barbera's "JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS" series, too, and assembled a novelty album for Capitol Records in 1970.
DexterMiller 11th Jun 2020		TV Dark Shadows (1966 - 1971)	The first 294 episodes are black and white.
