I've been meaning to post about a show from the 80s which only lasted a season, but my sister and I really loved it. It was called Cover Up, and Jennifer O'Neill played an ex-fashion model turned sleuth who investigated crimes, usually murders among rich and famous people. Her costar in the beginning was former model Jon-Erik Hexum who died tragically on set halfway into the season. He was replaced by an Aussie hunk, Antony Hamilton who died from AIDS a few years after the show ended.
Richard Anderson rounded out the cast.
To this day, every time I hear Bonnie Tyler's 'Holding Out for a Hero,' which was used as the theme song for Cover Up, I think of this show. (Someone else sang this version.)
Here's the opening with Hexum:
And here's the opening with Hamilton:

Did anyone already mention this one season crime thriller starring singer and LAUGH-IN alum TERESA GRAVES? From '74 to '75? Sepiatone

And the INSPIRATION channel has been touting their adding TALES OF WELLS FARGO starring Dale Robertson to their Western TV show line-up. Don't recall this show was mentioned already. If it was, I apologize. And TCM showing all the TARZAN movies today brought to mind My brother and I watching Johnny Weissmueller's short lived JUNGLE JIM TV show. from 1955-56 Sepiatone

Seeing RICHARD DEACON on a "Dick Van Dyke Show" rerun last night I wonder(not wanting to take the time) if Deacon's role replacing Roger C. Carmel in the late '60's sitcom THE MOTHERS IN LAW('67-'69) with Kaye Ballard and Eve Arden was mentioned?
And I then remembered a summer replacement starring a peculiar looking but very funny British comic MARTY FELDMAN in the summer of '72. At the time, MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS wasn't being featured on my area's PBS station yet, but Feldman's show would feature some of Terry Gilliam's animation work which is where I saw this still hilarious work.......

Although I only remembered Jon-Erik Hexum from Voyagers, a short-lived 1982 knockoff of Time Bandits with emphasis on the whimsical kids' educational value, where Hexum played a goofy time-traveling swashbuckler now drafted into correcting history's mistakes, with the help of contemporary kid Meeno "One of the Amityville kids" Peluce:

I vaguely recall seeing this in 1970-1971. One season, 17 episodes. It was a big deal at the time that Shirley was doing a television series.

The show really likes to point out how great of a company Well Fargo was with regards to customer service as well as how they treat employees. That is a lot different company than the Wells Fargo of the last decade or so. I like the show since they are 30 minutes and packed with a lot of action. Also the show features many actors that would go on to do their own westerns like Chuck Connors and Michael Landon.
