God, I loved "When Things Were Rotten."
Has anyone mentioned "The Man from Atlantis" starring Patrick Duffy pre-"Dallas"?

In the wake of Don Rickles' death I remembered a short-lived 70s sitcom he was in; CPO Sharkey.

I was watching a Planet of the Apes marathon yesterday. Seeing James Franciscus in beneath the planet of the apes, made me remember him from the 1970's show: Longstreet, which also featured Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee co-starred in THE GREEN HORNET, playing Kato. I've seen LONGSTREET throughout its run and Bruce Lee was never on it! I really loved Pax, the blind detective's guide dog.

I've been looking for obscure 70s series.
I'm in the middle of SWAT.

I was watching a Planet of the Apes marathon yesterday. Seeing James Franciscus in beneath the planet of the apes, made me remember him from the 1970's show: Longstreet, which also featured Bruce Lee. That was originally supposed to be the Marvel Comics character Daredevil but they changed it. Franciscus looks just like Matt Murdock. Also Martine Beswick in the pilot could have been Black Widow (although the character didn't team up with Daredevil until later in the year). The blonde girl Marlyn Mason also looked like Karen Page.
Another show I remember was LUCAN the Wolf Boy and QUARK about space garbage men.
I watched Salvage 1.
Incidentally, I watched CLIFFHANGER and never got to see the final episode as it didn't air in North America. I found out that they did film it-and it aired in Europe. Someone posted the entire show on the internet from a 1979 video recording. I need to finish watching it (it's a pretty cheaply made show but I remember it fondly).
Patrick Duffy had a funny swimming style in Man From Atlantis.

I honestly couldn't say. I watched it every week when it originally ran but I was about 10 years old and don't really remember much. I was probably easily amused back then. At least I never forgot about it.
SWAT is an excellent series from that period.

The Fantastic Journey, a 1977 mid-season replacement science-fiction series on NBC. It was only intended for 13 episodes, but got cancelled after nine (a tenth episode was run a couple of months after the cancellation). Starred Jared Martin, who went on to bigger things with a recurring role in Dallas, but is mostly memorable for the presence of Roddy McDowell, who played something of a more likeable 'Dr. Smith' type of character on the show.

I am enjoying it. I like the cast and I kinda like seeing and recognizing guest stars. I picked up the first season of Starsky and Hutch, which is next on my 70s tv list.

I love the Paul Lynde Show, the most comic aspect of it passing off Paul as het breadwinner dad! It's been airing in our area recently--I hadn't seen it in years, and it's actually surprising to note how racy some of the humor is. Another long-forgotten series was Rafferty a 1977 medico drama starring post-Prisoner Patrick McGoohan. McGoohan reportedly despised working on the show and it only lasted for one season. However, the show is considered by some to be a precursor to House, M.D. due to the irascible nature of the protagonist doctor (and supposedly Hugh Laurie has said his portrayal of House was partly influenced by McGoohan's on this show).

It was produced and starred Rod Serling as well.
Some for me:
Zoom(kids PBS show) San Pedro Beach Bums(Football, you bet!) Bad News Bears-None of the movie cast were in it. Jack Warden played Buttermaker Operation Petticoat-about a pink submarine starring John Astin and Jaime Lee Curtis Hello Larry-The short lived TV show that McLean Stevenson left MASH for. Holmes & Yoyo-Detective comedy about a robot detective. John Schuck was the major star. Because of a glitch the character of Yoyo had, gave me the name of my fantasy football team for the past 32 years. The Bunko Squad. Delta House-Animal House spinoff. John Vernon(Dean Wormer), Stephen Furst(Flouder), Bruce McGill(D-Day), and James Widdows(Hoover) all reprised their roles from the movie. Michelle Pfeiffer was also in it. Chopper One-police drama starring a pre Battlestar Galactica Dirk Benedict. Christie Love-A black version of police woman. She was brought up by Nice Guy Eddie in Reservoir Dogs. Grady-Sanford & Son spinoff that didn't last. The Ropers-Threes Company spinoff that didn't last...and the Ropers didn't get their jobs back as promised when their show was cancelled. Project UFO-Starred Edward Winter who played Col. Flagg in MASH Far Out Space Nuts-Part of the Saturday morning lineup. Starring Bob Denver On the Rocks-Prison sitcom with Rick Hurst, Tom Poston and Mel Stewart as the only known actors in it. Fish-Barney Miller spinoff starring Abe Vagoda reprising his role from Barney Miller. Hot L Baltimore-Sitcom starring James Cromwell, Richard Masur, and Charlotte Rae. Mr. T and Tina-The series Pat Morita left Happy Days for.
