My father was a milkman, my mother did Tupperware parties. I sat in front of the TV with my TV dinner on my TV tray. I had such a crush on those guys. I was 10, too.

I was just a 10 year old kid when this show was on in the 60's. I watched it every Friday night. Now as an adult I can appreciate just how good the writing was on this show. Also, the theme music was the best ever.

A great show from my childhood - I used to watch it with my mother who I think had a crush of George Maharis! What happened to him - watching these again I'm very impressed with him - great charisma! Just watched the first episode of Season 1 and I can remember watching it and being a bit scared by it - very dark. I don't think 6 year olds nowadays would sit still long enough to be engaged like I was when I was a kid!

I get such a warm feeling inside of me whenever I hear the musical theme.

So they were taking a stab at the John Birchers. The girl was pretty.

All in all, there will never be another show like Route 66. It was an anthology, filmed on location all over the USA. Legacy TV !!!

I remember watching the show but now I enjoy it more now.

Amazingly relevant. Thank you for posting this great episode. I was in high school and watched Route 66 faithfully. I still have a crush on George Maharis.

Many thanks for posting. I'd never heard of the series until tonight, I'm 71 so I remember a lot of US shows that were on TV here in the UK but not this one. Nelson Riddle original music and theme tune, which, now I'm reminded rings a distant bell.

Timeless.

As a teen during last yrs of show, I was Dreaming of "Going thru the Gears" in a 360 hp Vette !!

Love this perfect picture. I remember watching Route 66 with a black + white tv w/ rabbit ears in hilly San Francisco.

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job of scenery.. Intriguing weekly episodes describing problematic situations. That. get resolved involving the (66) travelers. Vaguely remember those ( 60's ) episodes/good for viewer's to be able to see those episodes one again-!!!😉. Wishing viewers a safe/healthy/prosperous (2024)🌈🎉💵😉.
