Title: Roger Davis Seen In 2 Clips On PBS' Pioneers Of Television
Post by: Mysterious Benefactor on February 02, 2011, 03:01:54 AM

Roger Davis appears in two clips from The Rockford Files on the Crime Dramas installment of PBS' Pioneers Of Television. In my opinion the second clip is by far the better one.  [b003]  But you'll have to tune in to see why.

And actually, if you like crime dramas, the installment is really enjoyable to watch because it features cast interviews and clips from a variety of shows like Dragnet, The Untouchables, I Spy, Mission Impossible, Mannix, the original Hawaii 5-0, Police Woman, The Rockford Files, and The Girl From Uncle. Great fun - and also informative when it comes to a lot of the behind the scenes stuff.

Thanks! I keep wanting to watch this series but it's always on just as I'm about to fall asleep, like at 2 am!

Hee hee!  MB proves again what discerning taste he has.  Thanks Kosmo for the clip URL.

I heard that a segment was run on Science Fiction in this series and it focused almost exclusively on Star Trek, totally ignoring 1950s sci-fi programming, The Outer Limits, etc.  What is it with Americans and wilful amnesia of our own history?

I hadn't heard of this series ... will have to check to see if my local PBS station is airing it.
