I mean they're always doing balance beam type stuff, like girders or ledges or cranes or whatever.

Ah, I totally misunderstood.

"I'm telling you, I saw a Leprechaun!"

This was actually the plot of recently watched Grizzly Adams! It was diminutive Irishman Walter Burke whom Mad Jack mistook for one.

Now we've got another one coming up with romance of a sort for Lou.

From what I've glanced over, his love life seems to be coming up a lot in the remaining episodes of the season.

I wondered too, or if they gave him a heads up.

Walter to Mrs. Cronkite: That's not the way it was!

I was thinking of 60s-era cover copy, like "At Long Last... The Parents of Peter Parker!"

That's what I meant, cover copy.

It's funny that they didn't marry her and Howard and make her a regular. Maybe the actress just wasn't interested.

I figured that she probably chose to move on.

That's an interesting list.

I forgot to include Kukla.

I wonder who does the captioning, the show or the channel.

As with Branded, the episodes always begin with a closed captioning credit to King World and the U.S. Department of Education. Both are '60s Westerns with half-hour formats that nobody put any money into sprucing up audio-visually for home video / syndication.

Look who the Tong sent after Bobby Sherman:


Ah, the indignities that he suffered to make series regulars look good....

I know him. I think he actually played some real Leprechauns.

Apparently nothing that will stick, since he's still single on his own show.

They used the "At Long Last" phrase quite a bit.

Probably. Being a regular is a lot of work.

I forgot to include Kukla.

No Fran or Ollie? They must have been highly offended.

No wonder it's so good. I think some of these other shows just use low-rent auto-generation programs.

Wow. Apparently the Tong was wicked mad at Bobby Sherman.
