Aw...

RIP Jimmy/Jack. It is heartening that he got clean before dying though...

Anybody else remember this show?

(Wikipedia: "There were only seventeen episodes of this show, which ran from 1969 to 1970, but it was so successful that NBC kept it on the Saturday morning schedule for a full three seasons.") Then again, maybe you can't trust wikipedia. Another site shows the air dates as: On NBC, from 9/6/69 - 9/4/71; On ABC, from 9/16/72 - 9/1/74, being a Sunday morning show for the final year.

Looking back, it was bizarre growing up in the psychedelic shadow of the Boomers. But who knew? (and the ending scene music was sung by Mama Cass?)

In our recycled culture, looks like a movie remake is planned. Think I'll just keep my innocent Saturday morning memories though and skip it.
