So I am explaining to my young boys about how televison of today can't compare with the teevee of my youth, and they ask me for examples.
I head over to youtube to explain, usin CHiPs, The Shazam-Isis hour, and all the greats of the 70's.
They are not impressed. Time to get out the big guns: The Six Million Dollar Man. Has to be the best TV show ever made.
We inexplicably land on an episode which has Steve driving an RV through Mullholland, trying to evade some bad guys who are out to steal the RV's nuclear powered engine to use for evil.
Exactly. High powered entertainment.
We're watching the episode, and wham!! It's got everything:
-high speed RV chase through Mulholland.
- cool Chevy van shag wagon
-a stop for apple pie, despite being chased by bad guys
-dudes on Harley's getting their butts kicked BY A GIRL for being too fresh
-a cameo stop at the Rock Store
-throwaway sexist digs at women drivers
Classic, just classic. I ordered up the whole series on Time Life and have a few auction watches at Ebay for a Steve Austin doll.
Ain't nostalgia great!!
