Adventures in Paradise - Appointment at Tara-Bi

God! How I wanted to be Gardner McKay!  Growing up, he seemed ideal --- a freebooting existence in the south seas, handsome, and totally his own person.

Ahh Gardner McKay as Adam Troy, what a great show. Is this on DVD yet? We had great TV to grow up with didn't we, especially in the 60's. Real adventure and fantasy classics.

I have one series on 16mm film, and I ordered a DVD set on ebay. Their picture quality ranges from fair, poor to some not watchable. They are not much better than what you are seeing here on full screen, and some are worse. They are enjoyable and all that is available, but I would not pay very much for them due to the poor quality. I wish someone would release quality videos from the original 35mm film that someone has somewhere. I found a guy that has the 90 episodes on 16mm

@maynardcat Can you get him to transfer the episodes to DVD ? I'm sure it'd be worth his while .

Là, j'ai pris un coup de vieux !!

Ah, le beau capitaine Troy..

Plus tard, en souvenir d"Aventures dans les îles", j'ai appelé mon premier bateau "Tiki" ! !

Thanks so much. Hope we can see him more.

Such memories. The TV shows in those days were staged with the gusto of movies .. complete with soundtrack. What productions! I remember this show and I loved it. If only I could have escaped into those adventures!  I would have slipped away and never returned.

oh what memories! I loved Adam Troy and found out everything I could about tahiti. Thanks for providing a great bit of nostalgia.

I was in love with Adam Troy! I was only 5 though.

Sigh. Wish I could be on the Tiki, too. Never have known anyone with a boat, though, of any sort. Wonderful clip; Susan Hampshire is charming. Would like to see the ending.

I grew up wanting to join Adam Troy on the TIKI and have all the adventures ..... Great memories..
