GimmeVinyl 25th Oct 2020		TV Prisoner: Cell Block H (1979 - 1986)	I've also been found guilty of watching this programme.. as it was shown on the UHF channel 20 WXON Detroit. The title then was Prisoner: Cell Block H in the US. It's been decades since I've seen it. The character names I do remember.. but little else. I do remember an old geezer TV repair man coming in to fix the telly, and remarked it was missing a valve.. and one of the gals made an escape, and "borrowed" some bloke's EH Holden ute that lived nearby..
GimmeVinyl 25th Oct 2020		TV Special Squad (1984 - 1985)	I used to watch this late night on CBC.. CBET Windsor Channel 9 many years ago. I thought it was a pretty good program. I've read that it was comparable to a UK program called The Professionals.. as the two shows had the same producer.
GimmeVinyl 27th Jan 2020		TV Car 54, Where Are You? (1961 - 1963)	There’s a hold up in the Bronx, Brooklyn’s broken out in fights… There’s a traffic jam in Harlem that’s backed up to Jackson Heights… There’s a scout troop short a child, Khrushchev’s due at Idlewild… Car 54, where are you?

GimmeVinyl 8th Jan 2020		TV You Bet Your Life (1950 - 1961)	Brought to you by your DeSoto dealers.. Not only did Groucho make a pretty good living by this time, doing You Bet Your Life on both TV and radio.. Chrysler Corporation gave him 2 new DeSotos every year.. Contestant: "I work for the Thor Corporation, Groucho.." Groucho: "Oh? Who are they Thor at?"
GimmeVinyl 8th Jan 2020		TV The Tonight Show (1954 - Now)	Ok.. during 1962, between the time Jack Paar left the show, and Johnny Carson finally took the helm, one of the guest hosts that did several shows was Groucho Marx... Oh, I would have loved to have seen that...

GimmeVinyl 26th Dec 2019		TV Trapper John, M.D. (1979 - 1986)	Trying to remember.. but I believe that David Wayne was also in this... No, I'm thinking of a show titled House Calls.. that starred Wayne Rogers, Lynn Redgrave, and David Wayne.
GimmeVinyl 26th Dec 2019		TV Mission: Impossible (1966 - 1973)	I'd seen an early episode, where Briggs brings out an acetate record, turning at 78rpm, to get his recorded message.. and then the record self destructs in like 5 seconds.. Awesome theme song by Lalo Schifrin.. who also scored the music for the film Bullitt.

GimmeVinyl 25th Dec 2019		TV Ultraman (1972 - 1985)	My brother and I watched every single episode back in the mid 70s over WXON TV 20 Detroit. Using the Beta capsule, Hiyata becomes Ultraman! One thing that cracked me up is that the Science Patrol drove around in a American 1961 Chevrolet Corvair sedan...
GimmeVinyl 25th Dec 2019		TV Mister Ed (1958 - 1966)	Larry Keating played Roger Addison.. Kaye's husband and Wilbur Post's neighbor.

GimmeVinyl 25th Dec 2019		TV Leave It To Beaver [1957-1963] (1957 - 1963)	Just a little run down on the friends and neighbors of the Cleavers...Ken Osmund as Eddie Haskell.

GimmeVinyl 25th Dec 2019		TV The Beatles (Animated Series) (1965 - 1969)	I can't believe that this wasn't posted until today.. with so many of my fellow Beatles junkies here on 45worlds.. I was a little too young to remember if I'd seen it first run... But I remember it in syndication in the mid 70s on WXON channel 20 in Detroit. Watched every single one of them!
GimmeVinyl 24th Dec 2019		TV Star Trek (1966 - 1969)	My favorite episode? Hands down, A Piece Of The Action... Where Captain Kirk and Spock, dressed in 30s era suits and fedoras, get behind the wheel of a 1932 Cadillac V-12 cabriolet, and Kirk grinds the gears.. Spock erroneously calls it a "flivver", which usually refers to a Model T Ford. Shatner himself would have known better, as he drove a 4 speed 65 Corvette Stingray around this time. "Captain.. as a Starfleet officer, you are most proficient.. but as a taxi driver, you leave much to be desired. "
GimmeVinyl 24th Dec 2019		TV Green Acres (1965 - 1971)	Theme song by the great Vic Mizzy!
GimmeVinyl 24th Dec 2019		TV Lost In Space (1965 - 1968)	Oh? What about Angela Cartwright, on a 1961 episode of The Twilight Zone titled I Sing The Body Electric, as one of the children of David White (later Larry Tate from Bewitched)..
GimmeVinyl 24th Dec 2019		TV The Outer Limits (1963 - 1965)	I remember seeing this for the first time as a rerun on WKBD Channel 50 in the early 70s as a kid. The first episode, The Galaxy Being, with Cliff Robertson scared the hell out if me!!
GimmeVinyl 24th Dec 2019		TV Hogan's Heroes (1965 - 1971)	Hey.. what about the absolutely gorgeous Arlene Martel who played the French contact Tiger? You may also remember her as Spock's bride T'Pring on Star Trek, a Russian cosmonaut on I Dream Of Jeannie that almost made off with Jeannie and her bottle, and a female spy on The Monkees that was trying to recover spy film....
