I love this show when I was a kid I was nine years old when I first started watching it and that was 60 years ago I haven't seen the show in 50 years man does it take me back
@@edhaffey5045 Even though you posted your comment awhile ago, I hope you found the other episodes. The best way to see all of the episodes and view them in order is to go to my channel and see the playlists. There is a playlist for each season.
This show had a big influence on my 10 year old mind back in the early 1960's. Lloyd Bridges and this show also inspired some boys who would later on become NAVY SEALS! Some have attested as much.
May Lisa Gaye Rest in Peace...and Beauty. I enjoy watching her TV appearances and movies in reruns. Loved her in Rock Around the Clock and her Perry Mason guest appearances.
Yes, I did too. When I was 14 I got jr. certified, then full certifacation at 16. Then I got involved in body surfing, surfing, wind surfing.This was long before PADI existed, I was certified in LA County, and NAUI, for international diving. I don't miss reading "Repetitive Dive Tables", today it's just a computer on your wrist.
In the early ‘90s I was working at a McDonalds when a fellow with a familiar face came in. “Has anyone ever told you you look like our Lt. Gov. Zell Miller,” I asked. “No,” he replied, “but I’ve been told I looked like Lloyd Bridges. I was his standin on Sea Hunt.”
I wonder if it was Leonard Nimoy's stance shooting a rifle that got him into several episodes of Combat as well ? He was in Sgt. Saunders' squad played by Vic Morrow.
One of the things that made those flicks great were the actors such as Bridges and Leslie Neilson who were famous as dramatic actors behaving in such loopy comedies. The contrast between what people had come to expect from them and the roles they played in those comedies just enhanced the comedic effect.
@@RU-vidallowedmynametobestolen Lloyd Bridges started out in movies (well, serials, actually, as a bad guy/heavy). I wish I could remember the title, but in one of the Republic Movies serial he even worked for members of the Nazi gang that had infiltrated the U.S. during WW II. In another serial he was just a thug. BTW, if I read it correctly, Lloyd Bridges at one time was on the Hollywood Black List as an actor not to be hired by anyone for any movie work. It seems, though I may be wrong, that ZIV PRODUCTIONS took chances on actors that other studios were wary of. Broderick Crawford was in another ZIV PRODUCTION (Highway Patrol) and many stories were circulating around Hollywood about Crawford and his drinking problem. That's why in some episodes he drives himself and in other episodes he has another patrol officer do the driving.
@@howardkerr8174, Lloyd was even seen briefly in a Three Stooges short in either 1939 or 1940. It was one where the Stooges cut off phone service to everyone and Lloyd was one of the people trying to make a call.
That was definitely filmed in the Sea of Cortez, Baja California-As a kid in San Pedro, CA my neighbor was one of the curators at Marineland in Palos Verdes. He took us to the pier where this show was filmed, that was in 1971
From the look of things, this episode of Sea Hunt has been on RU-vid for the last 10 years and still the quality of the episode is pristine, despite the huge viewership. Keylie, I do wish someone could take the initiative and colorize this wonderful episode. With the aquamarine waters and the azure blue sky, plus the beauty of Lisa Gaye, colorizing this episode and four others in which Lisa starred with be a huge hit. I look forward to your reply, if at all there is any hope in colorizing the same.
Me, me, me!!! As a pre-schooler, I'd lay on the sofa watching Mike Nelson while kicking my half-pulled off socks like flippers. Unfortunately, in my area and by the time I could afford lessons, there was literally nobody my age that did any scuba. So, I often broke Mike's "Rule" of don't dive alone. And that spawned some real-life 'adventures' in the water-filled quarries where I'd dive.
As a child of the 60's, I grew up in Taiwan on an army base. They broadcast 2 hours a day of American tv and one of those shows was Sea Hunt, the other was Golfing with Sam Snead. Brings back childhood memories.
Thank you so much for posting these! I had never seen the show until recently, and I truly enjoy watching it. What a treat to see Leonard Nimoy in this episode!
And dead man’s cove. Reusing footage makes perfect sense. It isn’t apparent when we watch episodes once per week...especially over multiple seasons. It’s only obvious when we binge watch today. Funny to see the same actors recycled. The guy who approached Mike was a South American Indian, pearl diver, cop, scientist, etc. not great cinematography; camera boat wake washed next to Mike’s boat.
Lisa Gaye, Anthony George, Ken Drake, and Leonard Nimoy, what lineup of co- stars!! Anthony George from the Untouchables and Checkmate, Lisa Gaye from many shows,Leonard Nimoy from Star Trek, Mission Impossible and other earlier shows. Ken Drake from movies and shows.
That was actor Leonard Nimoy in this episode of Sea hunt. Before he became Mr. Spock on the outer space 1960s TV series Star Trek, Nimoy was a semi regular on the TV series Mission Impossible Impossible.
Yep, Leonard was in several episodes of Sea Hunt playing different roles. He had to earn his chops like all young actors back then. He was also in shows like Highway Patrol, Twilight Zone, Outer Limits and Wagon Train. It was in a show called The Lieutenant that he was spotted by Gene Rodenberry who reportedly said he was going to put pointed ears on him in the new outer space show he was developing. The rest is Star Trek history.
If you notice that big explosion with the evergreens and hills in the back ground that was the Ripple Rock demolition in the seymore narrows off north Vancouver Island in 1958. At the time the biggest non nuecular blast for many years. The give away is the Fir trees in the back ground lol.
At 5:02, this mystery piece ended with a sting which is not heard on this episode, but appeared on Highway Patrol (Portrait of Death), and Casey Jones (Strrm Warning), It’s somewhere in the Capitol Production Music Library, since Casey Jones is not a ZIV program, It was a Screen Gems Production.
@@jameskoch7190 I certified also. Never really took it as far as I would've liked but at least I had the experience. The gear used on "Sea Hunt" is quaint compared to what they have today. Double hose regulators, wetsuits that look more like rubber, no BC's. "Sea Hunt" singlehandedly grew the SCUBA industry.
I'm surprised Lloyd would allow a script that had Mike Nelson acting stupid enough to believe a sea monster was chasing a boat rather than a boat towing something through the water, especially since he was supposed to be on the look out for stuff just like that. That's OK though, Lisa more than made up for sins such as these.
+Celluloidwatcher Totally agree! Both were incredibly beautiful women. Debra was a big movie star, Lisa appeared on countless TV shows in the 50's(in several Perry Mason episodes).
By now they should have changed the opening credits to: and co-staring Lisa Gaye as everybody! Oh yes one more thing, that transporter malfunction was bigger than anyone could imagine!
Ok was this by any chance an EARLY IVAN TORS PRODUCTION??!! I HAVE "DARING GAME" ON VHS in my varied Collection!! It was posted up a while back UNFORTUNATELY PART OF IT IS MISSING ! IM SURE MANY AVID FANS WILL RECALL "RIPCORD" !!! ALL OF THIS GENRE IS VASTLY UNDERRATED !!THANKS KYLIE
Good episode and Lisa Gaye is hot in this vid. Only in her 20s here, she had a long career in tv and cinema. Anthony George had long television career as well
I have been enjoying these shows a lot. But I have wondered why Mike never has a rebreather. With all the close calls he has with bad guys,it would have helped out a lot. And being in the coast guard he old have got one
Gets the rifle to shoot the last living specimen of Nimoi orca. A great conservationist, kill first, classify later. Wonderful example of mankind. And yes I know it’s a TVshow.
