did anybody notice that the lady psychiatrist was played by Majel Barret of "Star Trek " fame?

@britfrenir BECAUSE ALOT OF THE HOMES BACK THEN ONLY HAD BLACK AND WHITE SETS, COLOR was still kind of expensive. And it was cheaper also to film then in black and white.

Author Martin Caidin loosely based the character of Colonel Steve Austin on Monte Markham in his Cyborg novels and originally wanted him to play the character on The Six Million Dollar Man, but Universal and ABC wanted Lee Majors for the role. Monte ended up appearing as the Seven Million Dollar Man.

One critic said that the idea of a man from the 19th Century living in the late 20th Century was enough without adding the fact that he looked just like his grandson and there were cases of mistaken identity.Shows that used this premise didn't seem as original as shows that just used the initial idea.

Thanks for uploading..one of my favorite sit-coms.:)

That is so great, I loved this show and back then thought he was cute. When he was on Golden Girls he looked like he had not aged much in over 20 years, maybe this show was a documentary, not a sitcom. hmmmm???

Back in the 1960's sitcoms used to be about 26 minutes long without the commercials...not they're 20 or 21 minutes long! There are way too many commercials now a days!

I remember this from when I was 8 years old and I thought it was great although I had to keep reminding myself that the old man was the son.

I remember wnen this show came out and although I never saw it (probably 'cuz it wasn't around for long) I was always intriqued by the bizarre premise. Thanks for posting.
