52 years have passed already, and I was amazed how fast Jim McKay went from a Happy sports reporter to a hard nosed newsman when the terrorists attacked the Olympic village. However, I miss the ABC Tuesday and Wednesday movie of the week. I remember Kung Fu fondly, my parents liked Owen Marshal, the Rookies and The Streets of San Francisco for ABC’s new season. The Rookies premiere episode had allot of unintentional laughs as seen in today’s reality.😂! I wish Paul Lynne’s show and the Men series would have caught on. Also Temperatures Rising, although Scrubs did succeed years later, Clevon Little and cast looks like it should have been a win…ah well! Have a Great day!
Too bad ABC's version of the "wheel" (The Men) didn't work out. The Delphi Bureau didn't look too bad. I did laugh at them not even having any footage for Assignment: Vienna. Temperatures Rising feels very ahead of its time. Too bad they didn't stay with that format. Going up to a guy and saying "Are you married?" would get a different reaction today...
Love it good and Bad memories summer Olympics RIP to ALL who were killed 50 years ago. The Innocent Israelie Athletes and their families too who had to suffer and still are to this Day.
After Assignment Vienna failed, Robert Conrad had better luck in the 80's with Black Sheep Squadron on NBC. Alias Smith and Jones was an indicator that Westerns were on their way out in Prime Time. The show's poor performance might have been the cause of Peter Deuel committing suicide while the show was still on the schedule.
