You could tell pretty quickly which ones were pilots and which ones were standalone movies.<br /><br />Some of my impressions: "Couldn't Happen to a Nicer Guy," well, you don't see the words "rape" and "comedy" to describe movies anymore.<br /><br />"Daughters of Joshua McCabe," should have went to series, same with "The Over-The-Hill Gang Rides Again," that had some old cowboy movie veterans team up.<br /><br />We also had the similarly themed "All My Darling Daughters," with Robert Young. This had the sequel "All My Darling Daughters Get Married." I believe this was remade with John Laroquette and...how fitting...Karen Valentine.<br /><br />"Switch" always seemed to me to be an "It Takes a Thief" rip-off, with Eddie Albert replacing Malachi Throne. I recall some episodes having Charlie Callas who would show up, and not do anything.<br /><br />"Isn't it Shocking," I knew it wasn't a pilot because Alan Alda was already in a show. It was exciting though and Ruth Gordon was of course amazing.<br /><br />"Lizzie Borden." So controversial, the Philadelphia ABC affiliate pre-empted it until Sunday night at 11:30!<br /><br />I remember "Barbary Coast" being good. I think the Western genre was winding down at this time though. <br /><br />Also the pseudo-sex comedies, "Coffee, Tea or Me," and "The Girl who came Gift-wrapped," with Karen Valentine. These were every bit as titillating as "Love, American Style."<br /><br />I read somewhere online of a mid-70s "Thin Man" pilot. If you can find this, I'll be your friend for life.Stephen Robbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18113123949398949049noreply@blogger.com
