It was cancelled because it had the same time slot as that NBC mega-smash Gomer Pyle.

[bartbro]

You are correct sir. Just one correction. Gomer Pyle was a mega-smash on CBS

@bartbro

And,If I recall correctly, "Honey West" aired 30 minutes before NBC aired "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.". Now,THAT would have been going up against a losing cause; "U.N.C.L.E." was the 11th most popular show in the Nielsens during the 1965-66 season, which was when "Honey West" originally aired.

it was cancled because the BIG JEW MACHO network didnt like powerful women,

it was a threat to their MANHOOD.

@keca1430: After ABC's getting a hold of The Avengers, that was it for Honey West, IIRC.

she would have made an excellent Bond girl in the 60's

What a show, ocelot and all!!

I was very sorry to hear of her recent passing. I grew up in the States and this one didn't last long, but I found it riveting as a little girl. There was even a doll on sale.

@britfrenir Oh! I remember at least one of them - the one about the Appalachian witch - something like "Jezebel", though I'm sure it's a bit different from that...

@britfrenir Anne was in at least TWO (and maybe three) Twilight Zone episodes... I can't immediately think of the polots, but apparently the producers liked her quite a bit, as there are a few people who made multiple appearances (another was Burgess Merideth)...

@bartbro If you know Tags was on CBC it is safe to assume that Gomer Pyle USMC was. I think i saw the last seasons of it.and saw promos of it on a local station WSNS 44 Chicago.
