The Papist And Mikolbe And Anyone Born Before 1976 Thread (2)

I did not know that that show (Fantasty Journey) existed until just now.

You can actually watch the pilot movie on youtube. I used to watch the show every Thursday night on NBC as a kid. It only lasted a few months before it got cancelled, but for some reason I liked it. It was probably simply that I was starved for sci fi programming.

The only show that was listed in the promo that had any success was Centennial, but it was planned as a 12 part miniseries, and so it could not rescue NBC's dismal schedule.

 

I loved Michener's book, Centennial, but I wasn't as impressed with the miniseries when it came out.

 

BUT I found it on youtube a whie back, and it really is EXCELELNT, and it is fun watching the cameo roles by some of the then-big names.. and future big names....

 

Of course, one has to be open to a LONG story.... literally beginning with the rocks, lands, native peoples, etc....

I especially liked this episode, with the introduction of a character with his roots in Amish country:

No. You never know when you will have a big party and run out of coasters. :|

And the coasters would be the hot topic.

I liked Hogan's heroes. Did you know that John Bannor, who played "shultzie" and the actor who played LeBeau were concentration camp survivors? Werner Klemperer was jewish and only agreed to take the part if all of "klink's" schemes failed.

Yep. As long as the Nazis come off as idiots, then the Jewish actors were happy. :)

My favorite scene in the Hogan's Heroes video I posted is the second one. With the following exchange:

 

Klink: Those two men will be released over my dead body.

Hogan: It's a deal.

 

I just love the way that Hogan says, "It's a deal."

I never cared for Hogan's Heroes. Might be b/c Star Trek was on at the same time.

I never watched much of HH either until much later because I was a toddler when it went off the air. I never got (until much later) that it was about the Allies getting the better of the Nazis. I always thought of it as a "boy show." My brother liked to do imitations from it, though. But I never knew what the heck he was talking about.

I have vague memories of watching the last couple of years of Hogan's Heroes on the CBS network, but I saw most of the episodes when it went into local rerun syndication. I loved Schultz. He was my favorite character on the show.
