Yes. Milner as a very young man before Adam 12. The show was the first TV show filmed entirely on location all over the US. Few episodes in fact take place on Route 66. A lot of young, before-they-were-famous actors like Robert Duval, James Caan, Robert Redford and Martin Sheen. Ran from 1960 to 1963. The travel in a C1 Corvette.
WKRP is on Hulu. Green Acres is not.
I think the wkrp has music dubbed in or out of it. Which is why there are no dvd's.
One of my favorite all time TV shows, Frank's Place, never made it to DVD for that exact reason. It was only one season and the music royalties made it cost prohibitive. That was the show Tim Reid did in 1987 after WKRP. Great writing and great characters. Also created by Hugh Wilson.
It was a restaurant in New Orleans. He inherited it when his Dad died. Was a professor in Boston, went to NO to sell it, and decided to stay and run it.
He's a flawed, sympathetic, downtrodden, heroic character. After all Rockford has experienced, he's still a romantic idealist at heart. I love the character.
Jim got injured quite a bit doing the show. He was treated badly during the series and told to get lost when the medical bills and disabilities started adding up. After a protracted legal wrangle he actually received a large settlement from the studio.
Yeah, I've read about that. Jim had bad knees from his Oklahoma days. You can see that when he's running during the show. Btw, the Firebirds were the base model but with the souped up, premium engine and suspension. Jim was an excellent driver (the movie Grand Prix).
A golf buddy Mike Post (Theme from Rockford Files, Magnam and quite a few others) was friends with Jim and only had good things to say. He'd second your thoughts on the real James Garner.
I looked up Shelley when I saw her in the episode. She's 73 now and hasn't aged well. I guess it's due to an illness she had. In 2000 she received a liver transplant.She's looking pretty good in the episode.
Shelley was on the series Coach with Craig Nelson in the early 90's. I am surprised she is 73 because back then, she appeared to be around 40.
Born January 19, 1944 in Santa Monica. Coincidentally, I think Santa Monica is where Rockford's trailer was parked, or supposed to be parked, near the pier.
Mike Post was the best at what he did. Some great show themes. He was a neighbor in La Costa, although I never met him.
Yeah, and every time he opened the door there were two guys waiting to beat him up.
Didn't want the Malibu elites to be offended by the slumming Santa Monica referenceExcuuuuuuse me.
I didn't know that Malibu had such a trashy beach area. And I was about to buy property there.Didn't want the Malibu elites to be offended by the slumming Santa Monica reference
