I am an early 50's who barely remembered 12 O'Clock except that it was a favorite show along with "Combat" as many others have reiterated. I haven't seen an episode in over 30 years. Recently I got a DVD set of the entire series and I agree with the reviewer it's been great TV. I must not have been old enough at the time to watch it on Friday night at 10:00. To my recollection that was the same night that Johnny Quest, and the Flintstones, and then later on the Green Hornet.
But when the series moved to Monday nights, maybe after Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, I do remember watching it faithfully. Then Tuesday's it was Combat.
Rewatching the series again... I love the old air-to-air, but as I think about it, it does have an ability to romanticize war. But the scripting has been great... And Lansing has been great during the first season.
I'm about into the first episode of the second season where they kill him off. Paul Burke was who I remembered in the jump seat and he's who I remembered most from the show. I'm looking forward to the rest of the episodes, but I am going to miss Savage. Each storyline had some interesting moral to them usually, and although 60's style is somewhat overacted... I have found them to be high entertainment.
