[78-L] For old timey TV fans..slight 78RPM connection

[Philip Carli]

GIDGET and THE MONKEES were syndicated on at least one LA station in the mid-70s (and I remember MONKEES on XETV, the independent San Diego station at the same time), and CAR 54 was prominently featured on Nick at Nite about twelve years ago -- they even made some quite funny commercials about the series, like advertising "The Gunther Toody School of Elocution" (which consisted of various shots of Joe E. Ross going "Oo-oo!!"). PC

Wow, I don't think I've seen any of those shows in syndication.
I saw a couple episodes of The Time Tunnel edited into a "movie"
on TV around 1980.  Also a few episodes of "Stingray" (in Super-
Marionation!) also edited into movies around 1990.  You must
have lived in a much more short-run tolerant syndication market
than I did.
