Every young man's dream: hop in a classic Baby Tbird with a buddy & roam across America, taking jobs wherever you find them! Make money--meet pretty girls... Who could ask for more?
Martin Milner & George Maharis star in this classic early 60's series as our 2 adventurers--I was 9 when I watched the show (on CBS?) Friday nights. The show attracted great guest stars, and deviated from the norm by having them die off tragically quite frequently (if it was a female, usually the funeral was 10 minutes after the character agreed to marry one of the boys!).
In the 2nd season, here are 2 great examples: The boys meet an older African-American lady who once sang with a jazz sextet. She has cardiac problems--would the boys find the scattered band members & bring them to the house for 1 final jam session? The band includes a character played by Coleman Hawkins, the great Tenor Sax player.
Next, the pair encounter a kid strung-out on heroin (played marvelously by a young Robert Duvall). Will they help him get cleaned up? It means postponing dates with some real babes! Sure, they will try, even if the chances for success are poor.
These 2 will go out of their way to help a whole bevy of people with unique problems. That was the niche of the show--they might never be family men, but they do care about others. Sometimes, they disagree, but they stay friends anyway. No bad language or skin. Each guy can land a hardy punch when challenged by an outsider. Now available on Prime TV via Amazon (cd format also available).
