Bob1Dog-
There were a few Corvettes used in the series. From Wikipedia: Quote:
George Maharis reported in a 1986 Nick at Nite interview that people often ask about "the red Corvette." According to Maharis, the Corvette was never red. (The misconception may stem from the box illustration on the official board game, released by Transogram in 1962, which showed Tod and Buz in a red-colored model.) It was light blue the first season (in which a 1960 Corvette appeared in the pilot episode, and a '61 Corvette was used in all subsequent first-season episodes), and Fawn Beige for the second season (on a '62) - although in the episode "To Walk with the Serpent" it is described as green - and Saddle Tan (on '63 and '64 Corvette Sting Rays) for the third and fourth seasons. Those colors were chosen to photograph well in black and white, but the show's cinematographer complained that the powder blue car reflected too much light. The Corvette was replaced with a newer model annually by series' sponsor Chevrolet but the show itself never mentioned or explained the technicality, though the series' travels apparently took them through St. Louis, (where Corvettes were then assembled). The model update made a particular splash in the third season, when the new Corvette Sting Ray introduced the then-revolutionary design change of headlights that rotated into the hoodline when not in use. Virtually every car and truck driven by each episode's characters, and used in street scenes, were different variations of Chevrolets. Chevrolet also supplied the trucks that transported the show's company, and a Corvair Greenbrier van for Milner and his family. Yet, George Maharis claimed in a radio interview, Chevrolet never allowed Milner nor Maharis to use the Corvette other than in film shooting. Maharis thought it may have been for insurance reasons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_66_%28TV_series%29#Car Apparently you can get MeTV in Delaware on WBAL. Again from Wikipedia: Quote:
As of 2013, Me-TV had current or pending affiliation agreements with television stations in over 147 television markets in 46 states, covering approximately 89% of the United States, making Me-TV the largest subchannel network by population reach percentage (a distinction once held by sister network This TV); of these affiliates, several stations have carried the network as a formal primary channel affiliation and two are general entertainment stations that air select Me-TV programs on a tape-delayed basis.[13][14] Me-TV currently does not have affiliates either within or overlapping any part of three states: Alaska, New Jersey and Vermont; Baltimore, Maryland affiliate WBAL-TV (whose signal overlaps the northwestern three-quarters of the state) serves as the network's de facto Delaware affiliate as Me-TV is not available on a station licensed within the state. More details, including programming at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me-TV |

Thanks Bob, great story about the 'vettes. Back then, to me they all looked the same till the Stingray came along. We don't get WBAL on our Direct TV, at least that I'm aware of yet but will look a little closer.

I just came back in here after a short time away and am I ever impressed with some of the names listed! Any of those shows with a theme song you can sing, I am probably singing it to my grandson now when he is here. Gilligan's Island, Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, etc. were all on my list. Lost in Space was a must do, as was The Monkees, F-Troop, Combat, Hogan's Heros, and the NBC Mystery Movie, which could be Columbo, McMillan & Wife, or McCloud (Hec Ramsey came later). My first dove act done to music began with the Mystery Movie theme by Henry Mancini.

I had to be like 6 years old or somthing, but I spotted my first cartoon editing mistake. It was on Felix the Cat. Rock Bottom the mean dog went to answer his phone. He took his ever present cigar out of his mouth and announced "Rock Bottom speaking." but he was holding his cigar in his hand as another one magically appeared in his mouth.
There are many "object" continuity mistakes in cartoons, but that was my first, and I was young enough to wonder why he needed two cigars, or wonder where one went a moment later when it dissapeared from his hand.

We got an extra scout troop in there somehow.
Guess what networks shows "Car 54 Where Are You? late every Saturday night (actually early Sunday morning), followed by "Sgt Bilko" and "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis?" |
