(IMO) - "Route 66" had some real potential to be quite an entertaining TV show, but, unfortunately, it just didn't live up to its initial promise.
Not only did I think that Martin Milner and George Maharis were both too old for their parts - But, as their characters of Tod Stiles and Buz Murdock they just weren't convincing as being buddies, either.
With this TV series now being 60 years old I really did try to cut it some slack - But, for the most part, I found "Route 66" to be just average entertainment and nothing more than that.
