Old TV series quiz

[Reece]

Who can guess what series this was taken?
I used to watch it when I was a boy, so it's old:

[Onkel Neal]

F Troop

[Osmium Steele]

Lol, F-Troop was my first impression as well, but the insignia is all wrong.

Looks like a "futuristic" space show. Not sure I've ever watched it. Don't think it is american.

Come to think of it, the lightning bolt could make it a later Space Patrol episode?

Edit: NVM, it is Rocky Jones, Space Ranger. Before even my time. http://psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/weapons/86.gif

[nikimcbee]

F Troop

So in other words, what you're saying is; "you're old?":D

[Sailor Steve]

Funny, I don't remember Rocky Jones, but I do remember Commando Cody.

[Buddahaid]

It's American and I think it was 'Space Patrol'. It ran in the years just before I was born.

I don't know. I just wrote a couple of glowing reviews at Amazon for the 1943 Batman and 1948 Superman serials. Tacky? Yes. Cheesy? Without a doubt. That said, there was a simple earnestness about them that just tickles me. So innocent, yet so willing to try to be serious with what little they had to work with. I love 'em. :sunny:

Oh most definitely...I remember the space ships depicted 'inflight' travelling along a horizontal wire that was clearly visible and with what looked like sparkler fireworks emitting supposed tail pipe 'flames' :DL

Weren't the special effects Amazeing in those days. They threw budget costs to the wind. :O:

What is most worrying today is that you believed it was pretty close to real at the first time of viewing :DL

[vienna]

My, my...

By the above criteria of age, I must be fully ancient...

I remember watching television in my Irish grandparent's home in San Francisco. My family didn't yet have a set so l would watch my grandparent's set which had a black and white picture. The set was in a cabinet that stood about waist high and the screen was flat on the top and bottom and rounded on the left and right edge. I remember watching the "Mickey Mouse Club", "Crusader Rabbit", the original Jack LaLanne exercise shows, short 15 minute programs with performers like gospel singer Mahailia Jackson, and, on Friday nights, the Gillete boxing matches ("Look Sharp!, Feel Sharp!, Be Sharp!"). The above picture reminds me of a serial that ran on TV in the 1950's titled "Captain Midnight". Does aayone remember that show. Jet Jackson had a sidekick who would always say "The name's Mudd, Ichabod Mudd, two 'D's'"...


EDIT:

"Captain Midnight" also went by the title "Jet Jackson"...

[Buddahaid]

What is most worrying today is that you believed it was pretty close to real at the first time of viewing :DL

No less realistic than most modern films really. Spaceflight depicted more like atmospheric flight and the roar of the engines in a vacuum. :stare:

[FIREWALL]

The actor is familiar and played in alot of "B" movies back then but, in a million years can't place his name,much less the series name. :DL

[Reece]

Yes Rocky Jones Space Ranger was correct, and to think I used to watch it!
This one probably easier, brings back some memories:

Now how about the bonus question: Which TV program showed the first interracial kiss on American TV? :D

[Platapus]

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h244/Reecehk/quiz4.gif

Well that looks like Kenneth Tobey on the Right. Can the TV series be "the Whirlybirds? 1957-1960?

[Reece]

Yes you got that right Platapus, but I still dont know yours!
But I'm not giving up, I will get some help!:timeout:

[Jimbuna]

Most excellent :yeah:

Now how about the bonus question: Which TV program showed the first interracial kiss on American TV? :D

The first interracial kiss on American network television was in the "Star Trek" episode entitled "Plato's Stepchildren," which aired on November 22, 1968, when Captain Kirk (William Shatner) kissed Lieutenant Uhura (Nichelle Nichols). Some stations in the South (U.S.) originally refused to air the episode.

[Jimbuna]

incorrect Jim::hmmm:

Come on then....what was earlier? :DL

[Gerald]

Is this an "age related" quiz, :D

[Jimbuna]

Okay...I'll go with this:

December 11, 1967
NBC airs the TV special Movin' With Nancy, in which she shares a kiss with Sammy David Jr., albeit it looks like a cheek kiss next to the mouth (go to about 4:50 in this clip to see Nancy and Sammy smooch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgdBpxEf4U0)).

See 4:55 :03:

[Growler]

Might it be I Love Lucy?

[Herr-Berbunch]

Is this an "age related" quiz, :D

That's why I'm saying nothing. :D

[Platapus]

Correct

The first interracial kiss on US television took place when Sammy Davis Jr and Nancy Sinatra kissed briefly on the variety program"Movin with Nancy"in December 1967.

The Shatner/Nichols kiss happened 22 Nov 68 almost a year after the Davis/Sinatra kiss.

[Platapus]

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h244/Reecehk/quiz5.jpg


Would that be Peter Graves in Whiplash?

[FIREWALL]

Might it be I Love Lucy?

When did she first kiss Ricky on TV. :haha:

[Reece]

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h244/Reecehk/quiz5.jpg


Would that be Peter Graves in Whiplash?
The actor is correct but the series was actually Fury, I had forgotten Whiplash, I wish they would make a new series, seems westerns are a thing of the past!:cry:

[Reece]

Now this TV show I loved but didn't last long and as far as I know is not available on DVD:

That's Tor Johnson :yeah::yeah:

That being Tor Johnson on the right and Wally Cox on the left, would this be "The Adventures of Hiram Holliday"?

[Platapus]

The actor is correct but the series was actually Fury, I had forgotten Whiplash, I wish they would make a new series, seems westerns are a thing of the past!:cry:

Wow, never heard of Fury. Great Trivia.

So he went from Fury right into Whiplash. Cool! :)

Here is yet another show, remember the dinner bell?

Dangit Jim, you beat me to it!!

Any fan of Ed Wood and Plan 9 From Outer Space knows Tor Johnson!

Any fan of MST3K knows Tor Johnson!

Fixed that for more modern audiences.:D

[RickC Sniper]

Just curious. Was Walter Brennan EVER young?

Love this thread:up:

[Platapus]

What was the first American TV show broadcast in color? I qualified it for American shows but I think it is also the first in the world, but definitely the first in America.

Extra points for the first TV series to be broadcast in color. :D

And TV show means a commercial broadcast show, not an experiment or a demonstration.

OKAY! I was looking for older Walter Brennan stuff and I stumbled on this little gem that I had never seen. John Wayne doing comedy with Red Skelton. Classic!

[Jimbuna]

Thank you.......most enjoyable and an early John Wayne I couldn't have imagined existed :DL

[Reece]

Not really.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NjAeGcohbE
Now that is an old film Steve, regarding The Real McCoys I laughed at how Richard Crenna was a co star to Walter Brennan!:yep:

[RickC Sniper]

Not so old, but easily my favorite clip of Brennan...doing an impersonation of J. Wayne, and clearly enjoyed by Dean Martin.

Tournament of Roses Parade on January 1, 1954

Very good answer but not correct. The 1954 broadcast you posted was the first Coast to Coast color broadcast. But not the first broadcast. However, I think I will steal your answer for another trivia question at work. :salute:

10 Oct 1949 the Kukla, Fran, and Ollie show was broadcast using the RCA Dot-Sequential Color System Camera

22 November 1953 The Colgate Comedy Hour with Donald O'Conner is the first commercial NTSC color program.

23 December 1953 NBC transmitted the first commercial TV program on color film, on "Dragnet". The episode was "the Big Little Jesus".

8 July 1954 First TV network color series -- "The Marriage," a situation comedy with Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn

[Madox58]

The 'little fingers' could not move and were bent at a weird angle is the key clue.

All four people in the above two photos went on to be major stars of Tv or movies; so far, you've got only one star and one series...

That Episode was called "Two".

Geeze, we had a lot of good TV westerns in that era. Now we get 3 Law and Order shows and 3 or is it 4 CSI's? :nope:

[RickC Sniper]

What lead actor on a TV show was a major league baseball player for the championship 1949 Dodgers whose roster included Jackie Robinson, Gil Hodges, Pee Wee Reese, Duke Snyder and Roy Campanella. They lost the world series to the Yankees in 5 games. He also played for the Cubs.

He played basketball for the Boston Celtics. He was the first NBA player to ever shatter a backboard. (The glass had not been installed correctly) He was drafted by the Chicago Bears but never suited up for them.
During WWII he enlisted in the army spent most of the war as a tank-warfare instructor, stationed at Camp Campbell, Kentucky.

Don't cheat....that would be too easy.

[Jimbuna]

[RickC Sniper]

I am impressed. I'd have needed some hints.

[Madox58]

[Jimbuna]

I was a big fan of the western series The Rifleman and I remember his profile being in the press :smug:

[Madox58]

I find it strange that the English watched American Shows
and Americans watched English shows!
Monty Python was a bigger hit in the U.S. was it not?
Infact? Most people here around me can quote nearly every single episode
of Monty Python at a snap!
:haha:

[Jimbuna]

I'm not sure if it was bigger and better received but you must take into account the much larger audience in North America.

EDIT: Remember Hill St. Blues?

Now that was my all time favourite but was never recorded onto disc as far as I could tell.

This one shouldn't prove too difficult

[Osmium Steele]

Adam 12.

And the name of Adam 12's sister show?

[Jimbuna]

Nice one :up:

Dragnet or New Adam 12? :hmmm:

[Garion]

Dragnet?

Cheers

Garion

[Garion]

Bah, Jim beat me to it... must be the time difference t'ween Norf and Souf:D

Cheers

Garion

[Osmium Steele]

Nope, not Dragnet.

Hint: The sister show was developed after Adam 12 started shooting in color. The principal actors crossed-over to each others shows for cameos. A few of them even dated each other on the show.

[Sailor Steve]

Emergeny, starring bandleader/songwriter Bobby Troupe (Route 66 [the song, not the show]), his wife, singer Julie London (producer Jack Webb's ex) and a couple of young guys whose names I don't remember.

Dragnet was the daddy of the other two.

[Jimbuna]

So do I get half a point? :DL

[Reece]

I only vaguely remember watching this series, very old:

[Jimbuna]

No clue at all?

[Osmium Steele]

Kudos Steve! And yes Buna, you can have a point, or a pint. Whichever you prefer.

[Reece]

This clue should give it away::yep:

I'll go for the pint thanks :03:

Could it possibly be "Hawaiian Eye"?...

[Jimbuna]

Yep, that's the one :yeah:

It possibly could be. What gave it away, Robert Conrad or Connie Stevens?

[Jimbuna]

Another one and probably extremely easy:

No wonder I couldn't guess it, never watched it! but I knew I'd seen the actor's mug before!:yep: (Robert Conrad)
Obviously you never watched Brave Eagle, when I saw it it must have been re-runs since it was produced in 1955!

Actually, it was a guess (hence, the 'possibly'); I vaguely recognized the girl (couldn't remember her name) and just took a shot at it. I'm trying not to look up any answers to the questions; I like a bit of a challenge...

BTW, was Connie's character name "Cricket" by any chance?...


Here's a series I remember from my youth:


http://t2buck.com/images/cooper289.jpg


What was the name of the series, the name of the male star in the photo, and the name of the dog (who was the real star of the show)?...

...Just found out today is Barbara Eden's birthday! She is 77 years old.

[Reece]

Yes she was a beauty:yep:... and Tony... had none!!:dead:

Conrad starred in several series, but his most famous is certainly this one.

I grew up in the '50s, but I've never even heard of Brave Eagle!

[Reece]

Yes The Wild Wild West, I vaguely remember him going from place to place in his private train IIRC.:hmmm: I could be getting mixed up with another show!:oops:

The People's Choice, Jackie Cooper, Cleo the Basset Hound.

Another one before my time, but my father remembered it. Had to look up the dog's name though.

[Osmium Steele]

That's an early Captain Kangaroo.

Not his first foray into children's television. He was the original Clarabell the Clown on The Howdy Doody Show.

Jim Backus (Mr Magoo voice IIRC) and Joan Davis!:O:

[Fish In The Water]

^^^ And here I thought Thurston Howell the third was born old... :D :O:

[Reece]

http://www.arktimes.com/images/blogimages/2011/03/10/1299775446-thurston-howell-iii.jpg
I resemble that remark!

[Osmium Steele]

And the name of the series was I Married Joan.

Now, the other two are going to be tougher...

Is photo #3 The Gale Storm Show? It definitely looks like Gale Storm, but I don't remember anything like that in My Little Margie.

[vienna]

Right show and star; but. can you name the other person in the photo (who was one of the great character actors of film and television)?...

[Osmium Steele]

Is #2 Ann Sothern? If so, that would make it either the Ann Sothern Show or Susie. Originally titled Private Secretary.

I'm beginning to think I watched WAY too much tv as a kid.

[vienna]

#2 is indeed Ann Sothern and the show was the "Ann Sothern Show"... :yeah:

I, too, have come to realize I watched (and, more remarkably, remember) far more TV than I once thought. At least the shows (and stars) were memorable; that can't be said for a lot of the shows in recent years...

[Jimbuna]

Well #3 is a young Judie Garland but I don't recognise the show.

[vienna]

Sorry, Jimbuna, it is not Judy Garland; Osmium Steele gave the correct answer a couple of posts above (Gale Storm Show)...

[Reece]

Here is another of those old shows I watched as a youngster:
This might be hard!:O:
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h244/Reecehk/quiz11a.jpg

[Sailor Steve]

Is that John Forsythe? Bachelor Father?

[Reece]

:yeah: You are correct, here is another memorable pic:

[Sailor Steve]

I couldn't find an actual shot from the show with both lead actors, but this was a favorite of mine, partly because my stepmother's uncle was head prop man on the show and I got to watch an episode being filmed and meet both the stars.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a325/SailorSteve/picture.jpg

[Reece]

You lucky sn*t (whoops, typo, should have been a "o"!!:oops:
Our age is showing a bit!!:D

[Jimbuna]

Sorry, Jimbuna, it is not Judy Garland; Osmium Steele gave the correct answer a couple of posts above (Gale Storm Show)...

I'm amazed....I think she's her double then :DL

[Osmium Steele]

Not without cheating. I do remember she started in silent film and was renowned for her sad eyes. Did her last name start with a Z?
(Just thinking out loud here)

Edit: I just cheated. I knew one of her names started with a Z. http://psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/Useful%20Smilies/pancake.gif

[Osmium Steele]

Steve, I'd heard of that show, though I had never seen it, but any fan of 60 - 70s american TV knows those two actors. I'll let someone else answer a few. :oops:

Yes, indeed, one of her names started with a Z; besides her sad eyes, she was also reknowned for her ability to play up flustered and/or confused characters and for her trademark utterance "Oh, my, Oh dear..."
