Supelice Dreadfully Boring

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Dalbert Pringle The TV drama series called "Route 66" premiered on the CBS network on October 7, 1960.Focusing in on the events and consequences surrounding their journeys - This program followed two, twenty-something buddies travelling across the USA in a Chevrolet Corvette convertible.Martin Milner starred as Tod Stiles, a recent college graduate. He was joined on his travels by Buz Murdock, a friend and former employee of his father (played by George Maharis).*Note* - This show had little connection with the U.S. Highway providing its name. Most of the locations in the series were far from "The Mother Road", which passed through only eight states, while the series was filmed in 25 American states plus (one episode) Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Joseph Harder Sterling Silliphant created two television series that should live forever, or at least until we have a nuclear war or a meteor hits us. The first was The Naked City, the first truly great Noir Police Procedural,which fashioned the template for almost every great Cop show that followed. The other had few imitators ( Mving On, Banyon, even , God save us, BJ and the Bear.). It was ,of course, Route 66. I had heard of this show for years, and finally caught many of the episodes from the first season on our local RetroTV affiliate. I know realize that it deserves its Iconic status. All I had known about it was that it had an unforgettable theme( NOT to be confused with the classic song by Bobby ( Emergency) Troup.)and a snazzy Red Corvette. I also knew that Martin Milner had starred in before he starred in Adam-12. After watching an episode, in which Lew Ayres played a Nazi-Hunter who meets our heroes on an oil derrick in Louisiana, I was hooked. The local Retro affiliate ran the show every day at Seven O'clock in the morning, right after The Cisco Kid. Forsaking Don Imus and Joe Scarboough, I watched almost every episode for about five weeks. With one or two exceptions, almost every episode was good, and at least seven were superb. I was especially impressed by "Ministering Angels", "Fly Away Home', "Two Drops of Water", "Play it Glissando", and an episode were Darren McGavin played a prize fighter. Perhaps it helped that I had just read On the Road for the first time. The show was well acted, and often poetic. Then, one morning, I learned that the Local station that ran it and other classic TV shows was switching to , God help us, a "life-style " format. Well, maybe, I 'll move to some city which still has its Rero station. Of course, by the time that happens, I'll be too old to enjoy it. We really need more networks like Retro, that rerun the great shows of all time.

mozli There are too many great episodes to go into and so many future stars to list. The episode with Julie Newmar, 'Vicki', sticks with me. It seemed like a set up for a spin-off. Maybe not. Many of the episodes had Buzz and Tod resolving others problems. Some dealt with their own search for female companionship. They weren't Lotharios, that is clear. There's a streak of conservatism in some of Buzz's basic outlook on life. The show is quite liberal in what it delivers to the audience. Tod, though a college grad hasn't gotten enough street smarts for some of the situations he encounters. Its also clear how shows like Twin Peaks, ER, Miami Vice owe a small debt to this program. Something must have happened in the second season because Martin Milner was doing introductory v.o. for many of the episodes in the latter part of that season. Many fascinating actresses passed through: Sylvia Miles, Marion Ross, Lois Nettleton, De Ann Mears and Inger Stevens among them. Big directors as well with Arthur Hiller, Sam Peckinpaugh and Robert Altman. A rich piece of television if you've been avoiding it because perhaps Milner might turn you off. These shows reveal that he could've gone on to better projects if fate were kinder to him.

HERBERT ("BO") NEWSOME In 1960, as a seven year old boy growing up in historic Salisbury, North Carolina, the weekly TV show, Route 66, whisked me away to the open road and high adventure in an open-topped red Corvette convertible. Howmuch better could life be for a seven year old boy in Small Town USA?! This was high-living for the next four years of my life. "Buzz" and "Todd" (the main characters) had quickly become my best friends as I rode with them every Friday night (8PM) to high adventure. I wish "TV Land" would bring this show back into our lives and show kids of today that you don't need to have sex and violence in order to enjoy some great TV! Herbert W. (Bo) Newsome, Salisbury, NCIn summary, This was a wonderful show!
