One-Year Wonders
There's a fun thread going on at rec.arts.tv about one-season-only television series that people liked. Some folks remembered a few of my favorites--Voyagers!, the 1975 incarnation of Ellery Queen, Hot l Baltimore, Tales of the Gold Monkey, Bring 'Em Back Alive--and I tossed a few more in: He and She, Faraday and Company, The Snoop Sisters, My World and Welcome to It. Lordy! Someone even mentioned Search--anyone remember this one? Security agents travel around the world looking for valuable items or seeking out industrial spies while being constantly monitored at a control center via miniaturized equipment (years before wireless minicams in homes became feasible). Stars were Hugh O'Brien, Tony Franciosa, and Doug McClure, supporting cast including the inimitable Burgess Meredith.
A bit rough but comprehensive Search site. TV Party's take on Search. Hmmm. No one's brought up Shadow Chasers yet, I see. |
