What's easy about this MM, the only one I can think of which isn't many is Batman. It just depends what one Dave is thinking of. So many come and go. I Spy, Mod Squad.......that's all I can remember that were short lived that I may have watched. But I did watch the Batman, it came on my Senior year in college and the bar I drank in and worked always had it on.

TV trivia? This show NBC 1966-69. It was canceled after three seasons for poor ratings. It became a cult classic in reruns during the 1970s and spawned five additional TV series, 12 films, books, games, toys and many obsessions. Too EASY..... Live Long and Perspire Dave Way to go MM! Too funny!

LBJ In Robert Caro's bio on LBJ....there was a bunch of meetings between the two candidate's reps. JFK HAD to win the then DEM Dixie-crats and LBJ finally saw the nom. slipping away, so he gave in. Well that's my guess. It could have been HHH though.

The California gubernatorial election, 1962 was held on November 6, 1962. The Democratic incumbent, Pat Brown, ran for re-election against former Vice President Richard Nixon. In his concession speech, Nixon accused the media of favoring his opponent Brown, famously stating it was his "last press conference" and "You won't have Richard Nixon to kick around any more." Six years later, he was elected president Par Brown's son, Jerry Brown, is Gov. of CA. now.

The Interurban. Station was the Hotel/bus depot at the corner of Bloomington and Hickory.
There was another line here that used a doodle bug (RDC) for passenger traffic. I read in the 1990's that it was still in use and called "The Pumpkin Line". It was removed.
