I loved trains and still do... but I don't even remember if I watched it back then, though I did recently. It is indeed -- as my brother Bob is fond of saying -- eminently forgettable.Don Adamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108598388162294499.post-71278253930934366162009-06-27T18:08:36.167-04:002009-06-27T18:08:36.167-04:00Hi Rob,

Silverman was similarly the godfather of development for "Facts of Life," "Scooby Doo," "Diff'rent Strokes," "Roots," "Hill Street Blues," "St. Elsewhere" and the first Letterman talk show, on in early daytime.<br /><br />But his greatest accomplishment was the 1971 "Hillbilly Massacree" at CBS..."The Beverly Hillbillies," "Mayberry R.F.D.," "Hee Haw," "The Jim Nabors Hour," and "Hogan's Heroes" were all cancelled after the 1970-71 season. This made room for, among others, "All in the Family," "Mary Tyler Moore," "Bob Newhart," and "Mash," all of which added their accumulated weight to the impact of the Supertrain crash.robtmartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17130453497486763271noreply@blogger.com
