Faint memories

After the demise of Star Trek, which was the first TV show I remember waiting every week to watch, I think there were millions of people waiting to get more William Shatner. Then came the Barbary Coast. I remember when this show was on but I was very surprised when I saw it listed as 1975, I thought it was on a lot earlier than that. Shatner was some kind of primitive secret agent. I remember Shatner wearing disguises like dressing up as a Jeremiah Johnson type of frontiersman. Then on one episode I remember him announcing he was going away for a few weeks on special assignment or something like that. I don't think he ever came back. Either that or the show went off the air. I am still waiting for him to come back 30 years later. I still have that same thought after all this time: "When is he coming back?". I guess the answer is never.
