let them. The most interesting shows
came during the last season (1968)
when Frank Zappa (who for some
bizarre reason look a shine to the
Monkces) appeared in one episode
dressed as Mike Nesmith. Nesmith
dons a snarled black wig and goatee a
la F.Z. and tells the psucdo-M ikey that
his band is banal and insipid. Other
later shows reveal our favorite help
less puppets striving for some sort of
progression (paisley shirts, beads,
Dolenz sporting an afro), but look
closely and Nesmith’s obvious con
tempt for the entire proceedings stil 1 is
quite evident. The trademark of the
program: a flurry of jokes and wise
cracks (some good, mostly bad) in a
blatant aping of “A Hard Day’s
Night.” Theme song: 2.
“I Spy,” weeknights, 2 a.m., ch.
16.
The first real prime-time TV show
to star a black man (Nat King Cole
failed in the 1950s when he couldn’t
maintain sponsors) and one of the
more witty and intelligent secret
agcnt/action shows of the lime.
Robert Culp and B i II Cosby are a great
team, and the show eschews the usual
cardboard sets for filming at exotic
locations around the world. A couple
of shows that dealt with civil rights
were downright militant for prime
time TV in the ’60s. Bitchin’ theme
song, too.
“My Favorite Martian,”
weeknights, 12:30 a.m., ch. 9.
Like many sitcoms, the entire show
relics on the fatuous premise. This
time it’s a Martian landing on earth
and gelling some bland earthling into
all sorts of hilarious predicaments.
Awfully predictable, but reliable
character actor Ray Walston (as said
Martian) rescues this from total mind
lessness. A harmless burn of 30 min
utes during your late-night Pop Tart.
“The Mickey Rooney Show,”
weeknights, 12:30 a.m., ch. 15.
Mickey Rooney plays a 33-ycar
old kid (he still lives at home with Ma
and Pa) who is an usher at a local TV
network. Another turbulent chapter in
ihc career ol America s lavoriie ex
ploited kid star. A curious program
ming choice at CBN since “The
Mickey Rooney Show” ran only one
year and there are probably only about
40 or 50 episodes. Worst of all, it’s
painfully unfunny and, justified or
not, is included in the book “The
Worst TV Shows of All Time.”
“The Rifleman,” Sundays, 9:30
a.m., ch. 9.
Western TV shows should only be
a half-hour long. Don't pad out an
hour of valuable viewing time with *
horses, ranch hands with bad hygiene
doing shots o’ redeye, or horses. If I
was that enamored with the critters,
I’d be squandering my dough at the
race track.
Hence, we got a nice, compact
little western show. Lucas McCain
(Chuck Conners) is widowed and rais
ing his son, Mark, all by himself. He’s
a big, sensitive guy who’s also pretty
dam pious and handy with an auto
matic rifle. Bad guys taunt him. He
doesn’t want to kill ‘cm, but he has to.
Like Billy Jack and Palladin, all he
was say in’ was give peace through
violence a chance! Great fast-paced
direction by Joseph Lewis. The very
first episode of “The Rifleman” fea
tures a young Dennis Hopper.
