Route 66: Return to the Road with Martin Milner

Trailer: Return to the Road. They called it "The Main Street of America." When Martin Milner starred in the television series Route 66, U.S. Highway 66 was the busiest and most famous road in the Unites States.

Thirty years later, Martin Milner (Route 66, Adam-12) hosts this heartwarming return to what remains of Route 66. It's an incredible 2,400 mile trip that winds its way through eight states, hundreds of small towns, and a cast of characters too outlandish and charming to have been made up. These are the real-life people of the highway. In dozens of candid interviews they form a riveting portrait of roadside America and its struggle against the 'franchise blight'.

International award-winning double-length collector's set. Martin Milner, in a 1960 corvette, returns to "The Mother Road" and profiles her people like never before. Return to the Road takes you back to the America of another time... When diners, drive-in movies, and greasy spoons did booming business along the shoulders of two lane highways. http://www.paccomfilms.com/?Click=481

been watching "Route 66" on MeTV on sunday nights ...I still can't figure out the premise of the show. Two guys wonder aimlessly along route 66 and don't work at jobs very long before they are off and running again....still the shows are interesting enough.

Cool footage! Mr Milner is such a fine actor...and seems like a really nice fella. My stepdad went thru Army basic training with him in the early 50's though didn't have the chance to get to know him well. THANKS for posting this fascinating footage!

Martin Milner is such a kind human being. He appeared on my Public Access TV Series REQUIRED VIEWING, and, I hope you don't mind me suggesting fans type into search: route 66 festival part 1. your video reminds me that when I was a kid, on our family road trips, I loved to see all the abandoned places. nowadays, kids just watch videos as these striking images pass by unnoticed. Thanks for posting!

12-28-2009. Happy Birthday, Martin. Adam-12 will always be one of my all-time favorite shows. Route 66 was one of my father's favorite shows. Ironic that you share your birthday on the date of his death 35 years ago today. I guess there are some things that can't be explained. But enough of that. Martin, many happy returns today.
