Has Cool McCool been mentioned?
One obscure favorite was Strange Report, starring Anthony Quayle as Adam Strange.
“Criminologist Adam Strange, formerly an inspector at Scotland Yard, investigates unusual cases with the aid of Hamlyn Gynt, a Rhodes scholar from Duluth, Minnesota, and Evelyn McLean, an artist and model, in swinging 60s London.”
It lasted all of one season.
Then there was No Soap, Radio, which I remember mostly because of a gag where a teenaged character sneaks away from home one night leaving a basketball under the covers in his bed to help simulate a sleeping figure; his mom pulls back the covers, sees the basketball, and screams (there ensue frantic efforts to find a way to turn Basketball Head back into her son). An odd show, also short-lived.
With the luminous Courteney Cox in the prime of her youth. Sigh.
TEENY Little Super Guy! On a clear plastic glass, not a shot glass.
“Oh, yeaaaaah!”
Some of us geezers also remember Jet Jackson
Its delight was that it was a syndicated rerun of Captain Midnight. But because Ovaltine didn’t pick up the reruns, they changed the name of the lead character. Everytime some character would say the hero’s name, you would hear “Jet Jackson,” but would see the character’s lips forml “Captain Midnight.”
The sidekick, Ichabod Mudd, remained, of course, Icky Mudd.
Heh. I was probably 21 at the time, sick in bed, and the only thing worth watching on TV with no cable was the Zoobles.
Alias Smith and Jones and When Things Were Rotten are almost before my time, but I remember liking them.
I loved Thundarr the Barbarian, Misfits of Science and Wonderbug. I remember their theme songs and/or opening narrations.
I liked Kidd Video, but there were way too few episodes.
I’ve never seen **Groovy Goolies **or Milton the Monster, but I know songs from them, because they were included in a collection of Halloween-themed music that I downloaded a couple years ago. Also, The Toadies performed “Goolie Get-Together” on an album of covers of songs from cartoons.
**Mathnet **started out as a segment on Square One TV, I think.
I remember the Schmoo mainly from the crossover show, Fred and Barney Meet the Schmoo.
Not mentioned yet:
Open All Night: A sitcom about a quirky family that runs a convenience store. I think Tracey Walter had a recurring part, but I may be confusing it with Best of the West, from the same year. I definitely remember that the son would stand with his hand tucked into his armpit, like a chicken wing.
Sid & Marty Kroft could do no wrong: Far Out Space Nuts (with Bob Denver), Land of the Lost (which I have all on DVD), The Lost Saucer (with Ruth Buzzi and Jim Nabors), Sigmund and the Seamonsters, Dr. Shrinker (both with Billy Barty), and my favorite, Electra Woman & Dyna Girl.
Wonderbug and EW&DG both had episodes where the car and EW turned ‘evil’ due to mind control and I was fascinated by them. Even though I was only 7 at the time, I kept hoping that Electra Woman would be forced to take off her clothes along with Dyna Girl.
YES! I think I saw 2 episodes. The kids at school had fun saying “Football, you bet!”
The same period also saw Mr. T and Tina, a poor show that Pat Morita shouldn’t have been involved in. We started calling one of our teachers Mr. T because of that show.
There was also a series about a cop who takes on a robot partner, Holmes and Yoyo.
I used to watch “Tales of the Wizard of Oz” and the “Adventures of Pinocchio”. They were on together on Saturday mornings when I was a kid in the 70s.
Okay, I’ve asked this before, but here goes. Does ANYONE remember a show on Canadian TV in the mid Sixties that was live action and set in Medevial times? It was sort of like Robin Hood but I don’t think it actually was Robin Hood.
Okay - get outta my head. I used to think that too - and I’m a girl!
My other show was Barbapapa - which I can only find non-english clips for except this one - Barbapapa
I loved Wonderbuggy best when it was Schlep - and I loved how the girl always had the smart idea, but no one would listen to her - then the dumb white guy would say the exact same thing - and that’s what they would do.
I also loved Isis and there was a show about a family that kind of looked like a tricked out RV turned in to a moonwalker . . .which is so vague.
I also loved Boston-based 70s tv - like The Uncle Gus show, Jabberwocky, and 3 2 1 Contact with episodes of The Bloodhound Gang
3-2-1 Contact was national. I remember watching it in Altoona, PA. Like Zoom, it was produced by WGBH but wasn’t exclusive to that station.
Ivanhoe? (With Roger Moore) Ivanhoe (TV Series 1958–1959) - IMDb
William Tell? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0158441/
Can you remember anything about it?
That would be Ark II.
Perhaps the Ivanhoe. I sort of remember something about a horn.Thanks!
Although WGBH did (and still does) produce a lot of PBS programming, 3-2-1 Contact was produced by the also-prolific Children’s Television Workshop.
I remember these also. Heck, I can still sing you the theme song from the Wizard of Oz show. I’m not sure if that’s something to be proud of, though.
Whoops! In my defense, it’s been at least 20 years… 
When I saw “Jet Jackson,” I was about to be like, come on, really? That one was on when I was in high school.
I stand corrected.
