I am 81 yrs. I loved the series when it was on, and love the reruns today. Thanks for posting.

[@codyhilton1750]

The greatest theme ever, sends chills up your spine. A Martin Milner fan too.

[@EdouardMillan-zy8gd]

The Route 66 theme by Nelson Riddle was my favorite tune of the early 60s. Martin and George will be forever remembered for their great acting.

[@tonymazzola1821]

I enjoyed watching this show when first broadcast but the episodes were way over my adolescent head. Years later I picked up the boxed set and found the episode: “Walk with the Serpent” filmed in Boston’s North End (where we lived) my dad and I stood by in a crowd watching the camera crew film this section of the episode in the park where Paul Revere’s statue is located. I was a young boy watching as this was taking place then once the scene was over I remembered everyone in the crowd applauding the actors for their performance not realizing this was being filmed for TV. I was too young to know if the major actors were there but remember it was a big deal due to the crowd that was there. Watching the episode today reminded me how much the neighborhood I grew up in has changed.

Note - Milner's name on Adam -12 was Pete Malloy! I've only seen episodes when The Decades Channel played a binge of it. One key point they seemed to not care about in continuity was the Corvette Martin Milner drove! In the early episodes it was noted that the car "was the last thing his father gave him" and then for some reason Chevrolet decided to change the car model to an upgraded model year!

[@ctranger]

Correct. Chevrolet, a major sponsor of the series, saw Route 66 as a major vehicle (pardon the lame pun) in promoting the newest Corvette every model year.

[@darlenelang3681]

I remember Route 66. I used to watch it. I enjoyed it. And loved both characters who played against Martin Milner . Dang those were the best years of my life. Thank you for jostling my memories again. You are good at that. That's why I love your stories 😊

Always enjoyed this show..Liked all the actors but that car had a star of its own!!Great scripts, and the song" Get your kicks on Route 66" was written by Bobby Troupe fellow actor on Emergency!!From Lancaster Pa!!Thanks 4 the info

[@slchambers1]

Get your kicks on Route 66. This and Them Came Bronson were my favorites from the by gone era. The reason I bought Harley throughout my life. Still own one and still ride.

[@johnkemper3451]

[@bobfincher1767]

The Mountain Road was filmed just east of Mesa Arizona

[@windronner1]

That show seemed so advanced for its time. 👍

[@FactsVerse]

We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Who is your favorite cast member?

[@conniecrawford5231]

One of the biggest “urban legends” is that the Corvette was red! Actually, Chevrolet gave the series several new models of their new Corvettes since the series’ popularity increased the number of sales! The cars were usually beige or light colors as these colors photographed much better in b/w than red would have! The screen Corvette was NEVER red!

[@FactsVerse]

Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?

[@reginaldcraig8979]

It was Pete Malloy!

[@alfonsorodriguez6437]

I loved the show when I was a pre teen and in my early teens. Always liked Milner and Maharis. Corbett's presence in the show the show was not long enough to make a lasting impression. Adam 12 was a very good show but is was a routine type show and did not have much violence in it, mostly cops carrying on with a routine job that at times could get dangerous.

[@Intnl01]

I was a huge fan of Route 66 and I related equally to both original characters. Didn't like it much when George Maharis left. His energy was greatly missed. There was no replacement for him.

[@rosiesparkman7668]

I’ve been a Huge fan of Martin Milner and Adam 12. I’ve always wanted to meet him and I got to do so in Dallas,Tx at a fan greet. He’s charming and very friendly. Not to mention very handsome And sexy❤️

[@jeffcarlson3269]

Wow George Maharis lived to be 95? I should be so lucky. This documentary claimed he was born in 1928. And died in 2023 from his long time ailment Hepatitus. Can I have some of that as well?

[@yasjuker9759]

I love route 66

[@Bleh_Cat389]

wonder what happened, rest in peace.

[@FactsVerse]

[@joefarmer4465]

The show started when I was 6 yrs old. I remember seeing it on our TV, but I didn't understand anything by cartoons.

[@michaelbdoherty]

JOSEPH??? seriously do your research.

[@Funkydood]

. It was a great disappointment to find out that Maharis was a homosexual.
