Cannon drove a big Lincoln. I always thought that was a great choice. William Conrad was great in the original radio series "Gunsmoke".
I used to love The Wild Wild West. Couldn't wait for it to come on every week And they would fill in those 4 squares during the show, awesome. Artemas (sp?) Gordon, etc... forget the main characters name Of course James West Episodes on YouTube. Looking for the train It was in Black & White we got a color television delivered and it was in Color, blew my mind. damn I am OLD
A Cannon episode featured some railroading a few nights ago. A bad guy employed a sinister railroad employee to identify high value loads and divert them to locations where the cargo could be stolen. Right. Here are some scenes, including the railroad's computer center with gear featuring hundreds of flashing lights and staffed with people wearing white lab coats. Check out the boxcar, with a full color banner to let the world know that valuable lading was inside.
Yes, that's the truth isn't it? Quinn Martin's The FBI also featured Ford vehicles. This was one of my favorite shows when I was young and unlike some other old programs, it never appears on TV. The CD collections cost a fortune.
Loved Cannon and The FBI. Yeah, strange the FBI isn't as available as other old programming. Hmmm. I still remember crooks forcing Frank Cannon to take poison. After he managed to get away from them, he downed a full bottle of milk to dilute it! Of course it worked. The show wasn't cancelled yet.
Mannix and The Fugitive often had trains in the shows, too. The Fugitive was Quinn Martin and so, had Fords in the show. Many '65 Galaxies or Customs. I had a '65 Galaxie 500 for a while. It had its idiosyncrasies but I liked that car. And yes, the flashing lights were a must on computers to show they were actually doing something, as if the noise wasn't enough. We had a system 36 at Telex and the printer had to have its sound-proof cover shut while operating to make it bearable to be in the room. Doug
Voyage To The Bottom of The Sea (an Irwin Allen production) also had plenty of panels with randomly flashing lights and repetitive beeping noises. If they only could have kept those sea monsters out of the missile room ... Mad Magazine did a parody of the series, calling it Voyage To See What's On The Bottom.
