Just found out today. I thought I felt a disturbance in The Force this weekend. Damn.

Bob Denver: Beatnik, sailor, chick-magnet. He was a cowboy, too. If you count Dusty's Trail. But, nobody counts Dusty's Trail....

Me either. I was just reading an MSN piece,
Tina Louise, as bosomy movie star Ginger
Is bosomy a word? Should it not be buxom?

CBS, fall of '69 to early '71.  The other "Good Guy" was Herb Edelman.  They were always coming up with wacky get-rich-quick schemes. And hilarity ensued! Apparently it was on opposite The Brady Bunch, which is why it wasn't a big hit.

I've said this before: TV Land should set aside on nite a week for "forgotten sitcoms" -- ones that lasted 2 seasons or less. Captain Nice.... My World & Welcome to It.... He & She.... When Things Were Rotten...

I read a bt about The Good Guys on IMDB. They even brought in Alan Hale Jr as a special guest star for 3 eps in the second season to build ratings- but to no avail.

and a personal favorite, "Nanny and the Professor" (I got much love for anyone who can find me an MP3 of that show's theme).

Too lazy to look for pics of Maynard Krebs, but that's how I prefer to remember him, goofy soul-patch and all.

Phoebe Figalilly is a silly name...

http://www.melaman2.com/tvshows/N.html

http://www.mythemes.tv/series/nanny&th.htm

Also available on vol 1 of Rhino's Tube Tunes.

And of course in later years, a fortysomething Juliet Mills would marry the hunky (and much younger) Maxwell Caulfield. Rrrrrrrrrowr!

Much love granted!  Long live Jambi!

But now I'm confused.  I'd heard long ago (perhaps from Barry Scott?) that the N&tP theme was written and performed by the Addrisi Brothers ("Never My Love," "We've Got to Get It On Again").  But that second link credits the songwriting to Steve Zuckerman & Fred Calvert (names I don't know) and the singing to none other than Nilsson.  Now, I don't think it sounds like Harry, but Harry didn't sound like Harry 75% of the time, so that tells me little.  Scuse me while I investigate.

More pertinently, I need to learn the exact makes of keyboards used on that track.  Those sounds are as close to perfection as I've known, idiosyncrat that I am.

Anyway, Mike, thanks for the links!!!

Definitely sung by the Addrisi Bros. (Nilsson did "Best Friend" from Courtship of Eddie's Father, parodied brilliantly as "Robot Friend" on a South Park ep.) I'll check the CD tonite for the songwriting creds.

I had to look up Nanny... to confirm that it only lasted two years. Seemed to me that it was on much longer. But indeed, you are correct.

Remeber the View Master? I still have my childhood one with many envelopes of dics. I'm pretty sure Nanny and the Professor is one of them. I know I have Family Affair.
