I was 9 and just loved "The Time Tunnel", because of James (Jimmy) Darren, who I had had a crush on from the first time I saw him as Moondoggie in "Gidget" and from his early 60's hit "Her Royal Majesty" (still have the 45). His teen mag pics were plastered on my bedroom wall. My brother, however, was a "Green Hornet" fan and still owns his Green Hornet lunchbox. To grow up in the 60's was certainly magical to all of us who were lucky enough to do so! So many wonderful TV and musical memories...

Because a lot of these channels are run by con artists who make you believe that having more channels will mean more quality programming, but, in effect, will dilute all that programming. On the other hand, it allows more actors to obtain employment, and even create new stars who might never have been known or accepted with only 3 channels

Not being a school night I remember watching most of those shows. Never missed the Green Hornet or The Wild, Wild West. I watched Time Tunnel and The Man From Uncle but some of those I caught up on during summer reruns. The WWW episode that night was the Second Season premiere episode, _The Night of the Eccentrics._ which was now filmed in color (not that we could tell). I never got into T.H.E. Cat but you can see at 7:57 that it was produced by Boris Sagal, father of Katey Sagal who played Peggy Bundy on _Married with Children,_ Leela on _Futurama_ and Gemma on _Sons of Anarchy_ among other roles.

I did watch THE Cat pretty regularly, as much for the music as for the plotting. It was scored by the same composer for another show that was taking me by storm - Lalo Schifrin, who also wrote the theme and most of the cues for Mission: Impossible. I also watched Time Tunnel, and remember particularly one night in January 1967 when the network broke in partway through to announce that a fire had broken out in a spacecraft being readied for flight, killing all 3 crewmen - the Apollo 1 disaster.

Years later worked in the comics biz and painted paperback books, I met Van Williams at various Comic Cons and painted him on the cover of Model and Toy Collector magazine and worked on the Green Hornet comics. We became good friends and would see him when he would visit relatives on the east coast. What a long strange trip it’s been!

My line-up for Friday night that season was The Wild, Wild West, Hogan's Heroes and Larado. Best night of television ever! Wild, Wild West was my favorite TV series as a kid. Love that theme song and animated opening! On the night showcased here the episode aired was "The Night of the Eccentrics," the first episode of the second season and the first aired in color (although I wouldn't see it that way for a couple of decades.) This show was something of a reunion; one of the villainous Eccentrics was played by Anthony Eisley, who a few years earlier had co-starred with Robert Conrad on Hawaiian Eye. Also, the leader of the Eccentrics was played by Victor Buono, who had guest starred on a number of episodes of Hawaiian Eye.And the director Robert Sparr had directed several episodes of that earlier series. A fun connection. As always, thanks for the nostalgic interlude, Fred!

Great stuff, Fred. I commented on your last video that I now find Batman unwatchable. Not so with The Green Hornet (also produced by William Dozier) for two reasons: One: Van Williams was adamant that the show NOT be campy like Batman. It was played straight. Two: Bruce Lee! Damn, he was cool. I remember the Ron Ely Tarzan well. I recently watched WWW in its entirety. The first two seasons were the best. Season 3 was missing the fantastic element, and season 4 was missing Ross Martin much of the time. I loved that jazzy version of The Man from Uncle theme. Time Tunnel is another Irwin Allen show that appealed to me then, but not now. I remember two things about Laredo: One, the guy with the funny voice, and two, the funny guitar theme.

You already know what I'm going to say: Kato, Illya... but also The Cat (Robert Loggia!) and Laredo, a big favorite of my brother and me. Come to think of it, I didn't really like The Time Tunnel but I loved Quantum Leap years later. Oh, my dear hologram Dean Stockwell and what a beautiful theme music. 🎶🎵🎶 All right, stop. Thanks, Fred. 💜🤟

My younger sister and I were obsessed with The Man From U.N.C.L.E. We created a club, complete with badges, handbook and codes. Oh, and ballpoint pen “communicators.” 😂. We thought Illya Kuryakin was cute. The Wild, Wild West was another favorite-I preferred Artemus Gordon to Jim West. Artie just seemed more fun. Wasn’t the theme song cool? I still like it.

The Green Hornet, Tarzan, and The Time Tunnel on the same night. I would not have gotten anything done if these shows were on today. Later on, I thought the best TV show ever would be if you combined the Six Million Dollar Man with the Time Tunnel!

I did not get into The Green Hornet as much as I did for Batman earlier that wonderful year (1966), but Van Williams made a memorable appearance as a former serious date (and Rob's one-time competition for) Laura Petrie in his guest star the previous year, on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" (5th season; Oct. 13, 1965), in "No Rice At My Wedding", playing 'Clark Rice'. William Dozier (Executive Producer) had hit-after-hit in that era with Batman (Jan. 1966), and then The Green Hornet in the Fall. "The Wild Wild West" (CBS) was my choice of shows instead of TGH. The imaginative, terrific animated James West character, decking the knife-wielding woman (at 3:55) was one of the highlights of that opening theme song. You would never see anything like that again on-screen (especially today) with the wild-eyed feminist anti-men crazies nowadays who would have a fit seeing even a cartoonish portrayal! But it was in self-defense, since she started the violence!

Van Williams and Bruce Lee get double exposure in this video (and on this particular night in 1966). First...as the stars of The Green Hornet. Then, as they made guest appearances on The Milton Berle Show. Wow. And, with Adam West (Batman) to boot. There was a big push to promote The Green Hornet show. The Green Hornet and Kato both famously appeared on the Batman TV show. And, Adam West and Burt Ward returned the favor. But, The Green Hornet only lasted one season. It never really caught on. Bruce Lee later went on to become a movie star in Hong Kong and in the U.S. And, after his untimely death in 1973, is now, of course, a martial arts and pop culture icon.
