Thank you SF Chronicle and an even BIGGER THANK YOU to Mr. Pat McCormick! This will forever be special to me (and my children!). Can you share the one about Bee's?
I like how this shows that back around 1973 or so, the word "nerd" didn't have quite the same meaning it later took on, and was more of a general derogatory term, akin to "jerk."
great memories watching this while growing up in Red Bluff via cable........a bit of trivia the Raiders shirt that Humphrey has on was sent to the show by Sonny Barger ,head of the Hells Angels with a note that said "put this on the Dog" LOL
Does anyone know the name of the song used for this theme? It sounds like a Perrey & Kingsley byte. I liked this theme better than the later one used.
I can't wait for SFChronicle to put up "Bees," if at all possible. It went EXACTLY like this: H: Charley, a herd of bees is chasing me!......C: A HERD of bees?......H: You've heard of bees?......C: Yes... ......H: Well, a herd of 'em is chasin me!......
C: Well, what did you do to rile em up?
H: I didn't do NOTHIN! ...poked a stick in their hive, got some honey!
C: Well that'll rile em up! I mean, that'll make a bee mad!
C: You know, if you leave the honeybees alone, they won't bother you! And besides, they're useful for pollenation and all that, and did you know that out of all the world's insects only honeybees produce food that humand eat, and -- uh... whoopsie. A honeybee just... landed on my... my back leg. Now if we leave him alone, he'll fly away.
At least the director was more courteous about interruptions.
