Female action heroes? Let’s not forget America’s own “Honey West,” the various Catwomen, esp. Julie Newmar (who was also a robot in another series),and Agent 99 on “Get Smart.”

The Prisoner

And there’s another rather short-lived series from the 60s. I don’t remember enough of the vital info to do a decent search for the title. It was in black and white. I believe it was a British series. The earth is under threat from aliens, unknown to most of the population, and a small group of men are working to stop them. This sounds like the plot of the Roy Thinnes’ series The Invaders, which may be imitating this unknown series. The protagonist was tall and thin, or so it seemed to me — picture 60s slimline suits with Nehru jacket — and hair that looked white in black and white TV. He drove what looked like a deLorean car, with the gullwing doors. I watched it trying to figure out what was going on, but it ended before it really revealed very much. Still, I remember to this day some of the scenes, particularly on dark roads.

I saw a clip yesterday of a Maserati traded in under Cash for Clunkers. The owner said he couldn’t drive it 10 blocks before it needed to go back into the shop. Beautiful car. Leather interior, the whole 9 yards. When the car lot guy who was telling the story tried to start it it wouldn’t.

In addition to Star Trek, some others I watched as a kid (hey their weren’t a lot of good options back then): Batman, Wonder Woman, 6 Million Dollar Man, the Bionic Woman, Get Smart, Brady Bunch, Gilligan’s Island, The Courtship of Eddie’s Father, Our Gang, Lunch with Casey Jones, Wonderama, Kukla, Fran and Ollie, Battle of the Network Stars, and Man from Atlantis.

Those were the days…

We’re always referring to the corporate right-wingers as Ferengi.

I thought they were both pretty cute. I think the crush was ’cause they were both so capable. I’d want them to rescue me. Maybe, I felt I needed rescuing about that time.
