A Personal Tribute to "Route 66"

Paying triubte to the 1960-64 CBS Television series that symbolized the restlessness of youth at the start of the Kennedy administration.

[@PauloFreireJr]

I'm still thinking on my 7-10 years old with my Mother, my brother and my Father at home, that all already gone and in peace with God.......Felling now those moments, watching Route 66 or listening the touch of the Music Theme .......I travel on time to the past enjoying again those happy days with my family and taking control of the friday's nigth like you...............Thank you again.......now I'm 70 in 2023 Special Thanks to my Great Grandmother Sarah Ellis Bankstone from Brookhaven, Mississippi...........my Grandmother Andrelina and my Father.......brining me back to Jax now on Florida....Forever Tribute to Route 66

[@edwardbaker5608]

I was eight when I started watching this show. I didn’t understand the plots, but God did I love that Corvette. I never got over this love affair and being a country boy raised on a dairy farm in Virginia, owning a Corvette was just a dream. However, I had the.best dad you could ever want and in 1969, just days before my 17th birthday, he bought me a 1959, 4 speed with a non original 327. I had it for about 6 years and finally had to part with it. I married, taught school, and still the itch remained. But in 2002, I bought the c3 vert and it was just a great car. Then in 2016, I bought a new C7 coupe. But nothing will ever replace that feeling when I arrived at my high school parking in 1969, with my dream car. Remember, wanted kisses are always better than had ones.

[@MrRonnieG]

Having the shoots on location was, for me, the best part about the show. Back in the late 50's and 60's my folks and I would travel from the suburbs of L.A. to Indiana to visit our family and we traveled on Route 66 all the way until St. Louis before breaking off and turning east. I have such great memories of our time on The Mother Road and watching Route 66 was always fun because I was able to pick out numerous places that the show took he guys. I was 17 when the show ended in '64.

[@michaelmartinez1345]

What a great show this was!!! KZbin and classic tv video channels still have these episodes available... Great storyline, great acting, cool cars and scenery and high quality... Truely a lost art.. The Narrater did a great job with this segment...

[@douglasthompson9482]

I loved the show. If Barbara Eden was my wife I too would put down roots.

[@johnohanian8615]

Still watching Marty milner, and George maharis, beginning, season 2, as a 7 year old; then watching in reruns mid 1960s thru 1970s. Filmed on locations, added realism. Now, it's 2021, still enjoying this classic on dvd. Great music score, camera work, direction, and fine acting by the cast. The Corvette used in the show became my dream hot rod car, age 7. I did eventually did buy, 1965 Corvette Stingray, v8 engine, 4 on the floor convertible, and years later , 1973 Stingray, t-tops, 454 engine, and automatic.

[@TheyCallMeGroucho]

Well, well done. Stirling Silliphant, Nelson Riddle's piece, a vette, the open road...how could you go wrong? Thanks for the creativity Onamkwah! Larry, Taiwan

[@sistershane100]

loved aharis and Milner-a great team and actors-and made this show believable! Actually traveled Rte 66..and i remember the song.."Get your kicks-on Rte 66!"

[@joegausch]

The absolute best time in America! The sky was the limit!! God I wish I was in my prime then!!!

[@Lindylou1947]

Great video. Brought back great memories. I had the good fortune to see some of the filming of the Thin Red Line when they were in Philadelphia. I sat across the street from the Marriott Motor Hotel on City Line Avenue and watched the filming. My mother worked for the licensing dept for the city, so I knew where some of the filming was done. What a thrill. Since it was my favorite show, it is something I will never forget. Thanks for the tribute. You did a great job.

[@Janadu]

I was 8 years old and this show was when I first fell in love -- with Martin Milner.....and that crush continued to grow during Adam 12.....

[@cvette79blue]

I was 9 when the show started. It spawned a whole generation of future Corvette drivers. I started watching in 63. My first Corvette was a 63, and 4 Corvettes and 3 Mid Years later, I'm back in a 63.The show was the birth of the American Dream. Thank you for the Tribute. R.I.P. Martin Millner, Glenn Corbett and best wishes to George Maharis. And to all connected with with the show I say thank you for forming our lives at such a young age.

[@gadsdonflag4289]

I'm with you on all of that you said. I think the Corvette was the 3rd actor in the show and it guided me in the direction of owning 10 Corvettes over the past 40 years! Matter of fact.....I've got one sitting in my garage right now. ;-)

[@geraldstephens6612]

Route 66 was considered one of best TV dramas done. Influenced lots of other shows & other media.

[@gadsdonflag4289]

And Corvette buyers!!!

[@lrlforfun]

I had a dark blue 64 Corvette in 72 and drifted for a while. It kind of took over me. I was pretty young at the time and pretty jittery at that. It wasn't too much fun alone either. Had I had a girlfriend....maybe different? Drifting today would be so risky doing what I did. Today Route 66 isn't the main drag and the Corvette that I had is a high priced toy for.......let's not go there. I will always enjoy the show and someday perhaps there will be re-runs on some cable channel.

[@DWhytePA]

I recently drove my 1966 Mustang from NJ to my new home in PA and at times during the 198 miles I played the theme from Route 66 and Nelson Riddle music. Thanks for this great piece about a great show that I also watched as a kid the same age as you...while my mom snoozed away... :)

[@gray7863]

Tod and Buzz were my hero's back when my parents let me stay up late on Friday nights and I am sure are the reason for my life long love of fast cars .....thanks guys .

[@Snoopy7666]

I grew up with this show, too...I was about 11 when it first aired... I fell in love with Corvettes and never lost the passion... I am not arguing with the narrator on this point, cause I cannot prove or verify it...but what I recall about the "new Corvette every season" was that Todd's father was alive and had provided for him to have a new car every year to pursue his "wanderlust" with a pal and kind of "find himself", so to speak... I don't remember anything about his going to Yale and whether or not he quit after three years or graduated... but I didn't recall that his Dad was dead, and I do seem to remember that he got a new Corvette every year thanks to his Dad. My Dad gave me a new 1966 Sting Ray roadster when I was a senior in High School, so I can relate a little to that story line ... but the show was off the air by the time that occurred. I do credit the show with sparking my passion for Corvettes, though... This is a nice tribute film... and it answered for me the question of why George Maharis left the show at the third season...Glenn Corbett was a good replacement... Somehow looking back it's hard to picture Maharis as a hard knocks street kid... Everybody that watched the show noticed a new Corvette every season, and with Chevy being the sponsor, they assumed it was something of a not-too-subtle marketing pitch from the sponsor. 'Seems odd that there wouldn't have been some sort of an explanation for the new car every year written in to the story - did they really think no one would notice? In any event... a good job by all involved in the tribute. BRAVO!

[@kentkraft5898]

As a young boy the show had a big influence on me. I fell in love with Corvettes , still have my 64 convertible and a passion for road trips

[@TubeGunner]

This is a nice little tribute. 66 was a cool show. They tooled around the country in that 'Vette, and everything about the show was top notch. I liked it better with Maharis, but I liked it noetheless. It wasn't long before Milner traded in the 'Vette for an LAPD B&W. :)

[@THOMASOAKMAN]

This show was made back when tv, was actually TV. and not that Reality TV BS. I watched the 4 seasons of this show on a dvd collection box, and thought that show was the best. and this is coming from a person whose 15. Me. Great Video man.

[@vixapphire]

Great video, man! I have the two seasons that are on DVD, having been a road tripper and done the Route from Chicago to LA and back no fewer than 15 times over the past nearly-20 years... Seeing this show last year when I got the DVDs blew me away... and made me want to go buy an XLR-V, quit my life and head out on the road! ps. my mom used to watch this show first-run in Germany as a kid, and dreamt of how great the USA must be, years before moving here. TV as USA's best ambassador.

[@michaelsmith1094]

Gosh I haven't heard this forever. Love the music, and I now want to hear 77 sunset strip.

[@MamaJacqueroo]

Thank you. I was too young to really know what the show was about but the theme song has played over and over in my mind for the majority of my life and it still resounds with pleasant memories of my childhood.

[@kingscastle1010]

WONDERFUL tribute. I was so pleased to find the music, which brings back some great memories. This piece is really a timeless classic. Thank you.

[@larrysepicmovies5044]

They should have paid to use the Route 66 song from 1946. Much better.

[@HECTOR33174]

This was absolutely great, thank you man ! Here in Uruguay I saw all seasons aired , I was only 10, and watch it with my father. Air TV channels recently began issuing programss and series. Route 66 adventure in paradise , Bat Masterson , law and order , dragnet , cheyenne, patrol roads, Aquanauts , maverick , daniel boone and many more. Now I'm 64 and enjoy very much this tributte. Thanks again. 2/27, 2015

[@axiomist1076]

Greatest show in the early 60s. Watched it, starting in 60, at 13. Couldn't wait till the next episode every week.

[@davidcouch6514]

I was 6 when the show started and the drama went right over my head. Just two guys in perpetually ironed shirts and slacks in a cool car. I was shocked when I watched some episodes on YT; getting beat up, almost hanged, etc.

[@rcnelson]

What a time it was to be alive in America.

[@Fruth37]

I was born in 1954 and was a bit too young to really get it then. I watched it while it was on the air, but remember it in reruns years later. I love shows like this and The Fugitive and Perry Mason, et al. Thanks, Dean!

[@bobholtzmann]

Thanks on the background information. I've enjoyed lots of great episodes of this show, including a couple made in my home, St. Louis. One of them showed a very young Alan Alda playing a doctor in a hospital, many years before MASH. My favorite shows feature guest stars Julie Newmar and especially Tuesday Weld in the episode "Love Is A Skinny Kid". There is an unusual episode filmed in Dallas shown in 1963, mere weeks before the President's assassination, and has scenes at the Dallas Police Station where Oswald was held and interrogated. Needless to say, this show is a treasure of our nation's 1960s history.

[@justpassinthruonR66]

@Onamkwah @ Just think @Isaac.P. Pearson ...THANK YOU for this tribute and to the two others whose comments I appreciated. I grew up watching route 66. (the small 'r' is correct). Born in 1950, I watched these episodes growing up and LOVED them. Back then, I only watched them for views of the Corvette and didn't understand the deep human topics. I didn't like all the fist-fights (still don't). Later on, I appreciated all the searching of meanings in life, absolutely 'genious'! I've had 6 Corvettes because of this show and credit this show and my love of cars for giving me a working (to get cars) ethic and endured tough jobs which gave me a work-history which, in time, got me into GM and a 32.2 year career. I've driven Route 66 many times, once recently in my 1961 'Jewel-Blue' Corvette (with the coves the same colour,...all correct for the Corvette used that year, before they went to Fawn-Beige middle of '62). From my own research: GM supplied a couple of special 4 car transport trucks. One carried 4 new Corvettes of that year's production. George was given a new black '62 Corvette from GM. Martin preferred a station wagon and was given that. Martin was a family man and many times had his wife and children with him in the many travels during filming across the US AND Canada. I met Martin Milner at a Toronto Auto Show back in 1977 and got his autograph. I intended to drive my '63 Corvette roadster down to Chicago where he was appearing a while before his dehibilitating stroke but could not get the time off work. I never got the chance again. I'm long retired, sold off my Corvettes due to replaced hips but I did drive them all over North America and have the memories and photos to prove. I'd encourage everyone to drive Route 66 even now! Neat places abound all along it. Don't expect to find any beautiful women needing help (I was actually disappointed this didn't happen to me the 1st time I drove it back in 1972)!!! but also, I didn't get into any fist-fights or even meet any disagreeable people in all my travels along it. Life for me now is GREAT. I've found the love of family (a daughter who is a nurse, a grandaughter now and another one on the way), a loving wife of 27 years and the love of a couple of dogs, a Golden doodle named Molly, a Berna doodle named Teddy and two cats named Lilly and Reble. I create stories about the travels I've done for Old Autos, a Canadian Automotive Enthusiast publication which gives me purpose. I also believe a 'Loving Higher Power' has guided me along my life's journey, including my interest in route 66, which has led me to a contentment and satifaction in life I could not have believed possible.

[@jerrykolosinsky4615]

One heck of a show it really inspired me. My dream really came true l m a gear head i owned 2 corvettes in my life i had to sell them over the yrs to support my every day living i really had fun in the day today they even took the dream of real americana of us away what a shame got to travel that road before i croak

[@normagee47]

Thank you for this.....I love that you caiptured the program so vividly! I loved the music and the actors as I was just 13 when the series began. As a teenager, I had such a crush on George Maharis :) Aside from that, it was such a great program and to an impressionable 13 year old, seemed so cool and romantic to be on the road.

[@frankstelt]

Nice summation of the show itself, which I never saw as a kid. Was always most familiar with the Nelson Riddle theme music, which got me interested in the show.

[@kingscastle1010]

Thank you very much for creating this tribute. From time to time while I was growing up, I would think of this theme song but could not remember the name and as such, had a hard time finding it. It was not until my son introduced me to youtube that I was able to locate it. Your tribute is on my 'Favourite's List'.

[@cheryltroutman2752]

Loved the tribute to one of my all-time favorite shows.

[@maynardcat]

Very nice tribute to the Route 66 series, one of my all time favorites. I stay up Sunday night til 3 AM watching this series, which is on once a week Sunday night, or actually Monday morning. I wish they would at least put in from mid-night til 1 AM, but I don't miss it no matter how late it is shown.

[@theopoliusivory9463]

I love this show I am binge watching it now.

[@duncanstone8758]

My family lived in Page, Arizona from 1959 to 1966 and I remember them filming two first season episodes (Layout at Glen Canyon and The Beryllium Eater) at Page in 1960. It was a great series.

[@jaurena47]

Thanks for sharing, great memories

[@pbrucpaul]

I think Nelson Riddle's orchestra did a terrific job providing the theme and series music.

[@citywide44]

Only a two seater.......hmmm............with Barbara Eden......have a pleasant bus ride, Glenn.

[@johnturnbull3361]

Fantastic keep them all coming,youre doing a great job

[@consv]

Get major nostalgia listening to this.

[@romiemiller7876]

I did take off after the Army. The show inspired me, and I spent almost 10 years traveling over most of the Us. Most of it was not on Rt.66. But the highway is right outside my apt. complex now. That wasn't planned though. It just worked out that way.

[@jamescalifornia2964]

Very cool 👍

[@MOSHMIRP]

buen trabajo, gracias. Ruta 66 mi favorita serie, en Peru, mis hermanos y yo nunca nos perdiamos esta serie los domingos, hermosisimo george Maharis y lindo martin Milner, ahora estos actores estan en sus ochenta y gracias a Dios todavia los tenemos.

[@DJKhrome]

If you start from I-55 going south from Chicago, you'll see brown historical signs saying that this was the original Route 66. You'll see the same on I-44 going thru Joplin, MO & Tulsa, OK , and on I-40 starting in Oklahoms City through to San Bernadino,CA

[@JollyRamey]

Good film! I sort of remember the show but haven't seen it since first run, so. . . So Milner marries and settles down to middle class life and becomes a cop. I could see how this would disappoint a 10 year old boy. Riddle Rules, thanks for playing the hi-fi recording of the fabulous theme.

[@daleandrews9356]

On my comment earlier, I couldn't remember the name of the artist of their iconic theme song, Nelson Riddle! Thanks for reminding me. I was a fan as well.

[@PennPearson]

I completely understand why you and so many other people liked that show. Even to me, as a boy in my early teens, the show had a deep appeal. The wandering life through small-town America, the gritty realism of the stories about common people in the heartland - it appealed to me strongly. Later, I was reminded of the show and was immersed in the same atmosphere when I joined the Army and served as a paratrooper at Ft. Bragg. There was something very appealing about the drama of the lives on that army post, sort of like the characters in "Route 66" and in the book, "From Here to Eternity". It's hard to explain but you probably know what I mean. Anyway, that show was a big influence in my life for the way it showed me that small lives can have great drama and important themes.

[@PennPearson]

@Just think When I was in the Army, decades after your father, I heard that in the 1950s, airborne school had been very demanding, physically - much more so than in the late seventies, when I went through it as a young man. Although it was easier for us, we had only one guy in our class who was in his thirties - a captain - and he didn't make it all the way. The instructors pulled him out of the last run, after lunch on the last day, before the last qualifying jump. He'd made it all the way through until then, but that last run went on and on, and the instructors watched us carefully as they ran alongside our formation, to pull out anyone who limped, even slightly. He did and they wouldn't let him jump that afternoon. I guess he had to start all over again. The point is that, at 36 your father must have been both very determined and in extremely good shape, to make it through jump school as it was in the fifties. He has my respect. And I remember training in those pine woods at Ft. Bragg, where you had played many years before. I remember how hot they were in the summer. There never seemed to be any breeze in them. Do you remember what your father's MOS was? Mine was infantry - 11B.

[@PennPearson]

@Just think Your father must have been a very interesting person, with that Hell's Kitchen/Jewish background and all that traveling in the military. I'm sure he acquired a wealth of stories. Speaking of which, you refer in your comment to images that would be good in writing about your childhood in that family. You've aroused my curiosity about that, party because I spent 33 years in Korea and Japan, first in the Army, then in the Agency and finally as a teacher. I liked Japan, but loved Korea, where I had the most rewarding relationships of my life, with a wife and many friends. Koreans are wonderful, brilliant, interesting people. As for that date, it's one that I remember well, as I guess everyone alive then will. Your birthday, too! Strangely enough, my thirteenth was the day before yours and my older brother's seventeenth was the day after yours. Corps of Engineers. Important and difficult work. And they had to have some brains, unlike in my MOS. I think you must have some very interesting stories to tell.

[@PennPearson]

@Just think I just finished breakfast and during it, I kept thinking about your expression, "glorious" to describe the car trips with your parents. I could imagine how much fun they were. You might enjoy writing about your childhood and your interesting parents. It's sort of sad, really. We go through life accumulating fascinating stories, and then we die and they're lost. I have many, but I'm not a good storyteller and my stories are all about East Asia. Nobody here in the Philadelphia suburbs is interested or cares about them, or maybe I'm just not a good narrator. You seem to be. You alluded to several things that, expanded on, could be elements in a very interesting short story or movie script.

[@PennPearson]

@Just think Aha! So you do have creative ability. I thought so. I can imagine those Jewish celebrations at Ft. Bragg and how much fun they must have been, sort of like Christmases at our house and at relatives' houses. Architecture. I went to school with Vincent Kling's son. Their house, designed by Mr. Kling, was fascinating. I still remember it, because of the contrast it presented with all the other houses in these suburbs. They were big, old, and dark. His house was in the Frank Lloyd Wright style - clean lines, big windows and minimalist furnishings. I loved it and have always remembered it. My older brother and I have decided to clean the gutters at my house and then at his, which will of course take hours. I'll send the deposit this afternoon..😄👍

[@PennPearson]

@Just think I have to comment before my brother arrives. It's remarkable that you mentioned that show where Linc was first introduced ("Fifry Miles from Home"), as the Special Forces NCO, because it's one of my two all-time favorite television shows, along with "Walking Distance" (Twilight Zone). I remember, as I watched the Lincoln Case character, thinking "That's the kind of person I want to be like." His stoical persona, combined with the depth of his feelings, as reflected in his dialogue with his mother near the end, seemed to reflect the kind of character that I admired and emulated. You might remember that he'd had a profound experience in Vietnam, one that had shaped his feelings about war and I guess, Asians. I had experiences like that, too. But Route 66 had many moving character portrayals like that. And it had great acting that conveyed very well the depth of those characters. Even Corbett's acting, which some might say is a bit wooden, is actually very authentic and is his way of coping with what he's been through. Then, as the show progresses, he reveals more and more of the richness of his character. That episode is a masterpiece and deeply affected me, even as a child. I've watched it many times since then.

[@jackiebell9345]

Thanks, that was great. This show inspired me to travel on my own after high school in the late 60's. But then many of us Boomers were out there, searching. ..All across the nation Such a strange vibration People in motion There's a whole generation With a new explanation People in motion

Last Friday KYTV Springfield Mo. did an awesome Route 66 Tribute. Oddly enough KY3 is an NBC station and not on Route 66; but properly on what was Route 60-166 KOLR 10 CBS also located in Springfield Mo. is on YY-Division St. which was on Route 66 back in the 1920's until Route 66 was later moved to Kearney St.. This is an awesome tribute to The Mother Road.

I loved this show as a kid of 9, I wanted a Corvette since I saw this one, only took me till I was 50 to get one a 76 stingray l82, now I have the money just need is a buddy and it's route 66 time

Watched it as a kid too. I didn’t remember the final 2 part episode. Seems at that age I didn’t pay much attention to the girls, only the corvettes. My AF pilot Dad had a vette. I had an HO vette then, and still have but!

Interestingly ,I lived in hell's kitchen on east 99th street in NYC. in an apartment I found on the bulletin board at the American academy of dramatic arts. I. Didn't get my own series, only extra work in four major motion pictures, but it's the memories that count, for me it is anyway. I wonder what East 99th Street looks like now ?

[@THOMASOAKMAN]

@tobian84 Thanks bud! I'm always questioning my generations future, to be honest my generation scares me with how many people wouldn't be able to sit down and watch something like this, ya know? Talent and intelligent also tends to help, eh? It was a fantastic series, ashame tv stars today would struggle to reproduce such a show. That's one of a few things that make me wish I was born back then, you got to see it all when it was actually cool. Take care, Oakman.

[@borusa32]

There's a lot to be said for leaving things up in the air-we never see the Jupiter 2 get back to earth or Alpha Centauri, Sam never leaps home and it may have been better if we imagine that those boys are still out there on the highway.

[@sparkystours]

A very haunting song and show

[@debrasimms716]

PS: George Maharis should have been given his raise! Imagine what they'd be making if they shot this today? I'm thinking in the million per episode area?

@makemydammdaypunk The car was pale blue in the first season and beige in seasons 2-4. They thought beige showed better in black and white. Personally, I can't see a difference. Most people seem to think the car was red, though.

[@andersport]

Thanks for the memories. i really watched the series because of the car. But I likesd the story lines as well.

[@rtraffanti]

Onamkwah, overall, this is a very good video of one of my all-time FAVORITE shows ever ! HOWEVER (caps for emphasis only), evidently, you did NOT watch all the shows. Tod did NOT graduate from Yale...yes, he attended, but did NOT graduate, according to the last episode of Season 2 ({2-32} "From An Enchantress Fleeing") Tod mentions that he "ended his studies after his third year in 1960 and did not finish". Please change your narrative.

[@axiomist1076]

Rita Taddeucci Raffanti You actually learn that in the first 3 eps. I just happen to be watching the series right now. I have the first year. It's there that Buz tells somebody that his buddy did three years in Yale. Greatest show I watched back in the early 60s (and there were plenty of great shows back then : Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Ozzie and Harriet , One Step Beyond). Golden age of TV. =)

[@markfortin421]

Although it may be inaccurate...the story I heard many years ago is: The Corvette is not the property of the film company but was supplied by General Motors, who sourced it from the nearest Chevy dealer who had one. If the next filming location was out of that dealers region, the car was turned in a a new one was found. That's why, the '61 had Dayton Straight wire wheels and wide whitewalls, and in one episode Todd sells them to pay off a gambling debt. In actuality, they switched cars (but you don't know that) Todd tells Buzz they have to wait till Tuesday for new steel wheels to be shipped in, but you never see the car up on blocks...?!?! And in one '62 episode, the car has chromed wheels, but the next episode it doesn't? ✌😁

[@justpassinthruonR66]

GM supplied a couple of special 4 car transport trucks. One carried 4 new Corvettes of that year's production. George was given a new black '62 Corvette from GM. Martin preferred a station wagon and was given that. Martin was a family man and many times had his wife and children with him in the many travels during filming across the US AND Canada.

[@PauloFreireJr]
