Oh, Boris Karloff was so good at his craft. He's been gone almost 50 years and few people can spook the absolute crap out of you as he did.

[@GaryAa56]

Absolutely, there'll never be another Karloff, Pice, or Lorre ever agan.

[@FIREBRAND38]

What a great surprise at the end, Fred! _Secret Agent_ starring Patrick McGoohan as John Drake. I used to watch reruns of Thriller as a kid since it aired in two seasons from 1960-62. One of the things that struck me with Karloff as host, he didn't play it like Rod Serling in _The Twilight Zone_ but, rather as someone in the same world as the story. There was one episode where he was giving his intro to that night's story and there was a thunderclap that made him as the host turn and look around as though he was really startled. As you can tell, he really made an impression.

[@FredFlix]

And, as I'm sure you know, Firebrand, Karloff also starred in some of the episodes. How interesting it would have been if Serling had done that with TZ, although they would almost certainly have been comedic episodes.

[@GaryAa56]

Makes me feel young Fred. Some of there I remember and some I don't, I was born in'56. Boris Karloffs Thriller was actually creeping me out, like when I was scared as a Kid.

[@FredFlix]

Gary, I'll never forget the Grim Reaper episode, which really scared me when I was 7. The ending still does!

[@luisreyes1963]

A rare promotional film offering Thriller for syndication. More rare finds from the past. Thanks, FredFlix. 😁

Nice selection Fred. Earl Holliman in Hotel De Paree, eh? You usually dig up at least one I never heard of. I believe Earl's still with us. Thanks Fred!

[@Nezmund]

I remember "Karen". It was canceled after only a few episodes. I had a crush on the star, Debbie Watson.

[@dougbrowne9890]

Earl Holliman. One sheriff that wouldn't scare a baby. And "The Duke" was the Man! Great stuff Fred, but I have come to expect it. I will try not to become complacent. 😅😏

[@FredFlix]

I trust you won't, Doug.

[@fromthesidelines]

"SECRET AGENT" Sponsor I.D. (1966)

[@simplysteve68]

Thanks for this trip of our lives Flashback Fred! Hard to believe with the way ppl are so sensitive now, that there was a show called "Karen", wasn't it about Karen Valentine? It definitely would have to be retitled, to placate those who call other women 'Karens' today! Lol

[@TheJonaco]

"Karen" was a teenage sitcom circa '64. The Beach Boys did the theme song.

[@ernestcruz6316]

The Karen shown here aired in 1964 and starred Debbie Watson, who later starred in Tammy.

[@FredFlix]

Looks like others answered your question, Steve.

[@lucano57]

Nice work Fred.

[@FredFlix]

Thanks, lucano.

[@marthawelch4289]

But no picture of Patrick MacGoohan as Secret Agent Man? I had a big crush on him starting with "The Scarecrow of Romney Ridge" on The Walt Disney Show which was never in the wonderful world of color in my home. My mom liked the theme song to Secret Agent Man, sung by the great Johnny Rivers. But she always thought that the title of the song and the show was "Secret Asian Man".

[@RobertR3750]

Love the look back, Fred. It's a funny thing about Thriller. I tried watching several episodes of it on MeTV, and there was no supernatural content at all. It seemed rather dull to me. They must have changed the emphasis in later episodes. Never tasted Ovaltine. It was always Nestle's Quick, usually chocolate, but I also loved strawberry.

[@FredFlix]

I think Thriller alternated crime with supernatural every other week or so, Robert, but I don't think that approach worked.

Well, LRP, though I appreciate your interest, there are no new Day in the Life episodes planned. But if I do post another you can donate what you will after the fact.

[@Agwings1960]

AAWWW yes the 1970's, when everybody smoked cigarettes

[@ootenyafoo6935]

Too bad you can't appreciate the "good old days" when you were living through them.

Sad but true.

[@goldstandardaviation1667]

Earl Holliman was a vegetarian and animal lover. Contrary to the cigarette commercial he never smoked and lived to 95 yo.

Great stuff! But that Ovaltine was a hoot. Can’t believe they could hype that stuff as nutritious
