Do you remember...

The Simpsons did a parody on Banachek.
The private eye was a seventies man in modern day Springfield. Of course he tried to seduce Marge.
"Would you like to come up to my apartment and see my corduroy sheets ?"

I used to watch Rat Patrol, The Invaders, The Prisoner, Dragnet... When I was young I watched Family Affair & The Courtship of Eddy's Father, lol.

I didn't know that. Hopefully I can find the entire episode on YouTube.

Peppard really bought into the Polish heritage aspect of his character, even after the series ended. He supported Polish causes and won awards from various Polish-American groups. Ironically, Peppard's heritage was Irish.

Rat Patrol

Just caught that show two weeks ago on some oldies channel. Black Sheep Squadron is also one of the regulars around here with hubs.

I looked, the full episode isn't on YouTube. There are 3-4 short clips, including the one Ben posted. They got Banacek down perfectly, including his hands in his pants pocket and his pauses between words.

Hard to believe the producers of the Simpsons would base an episode/character on a shortlived TV series that ended almost 50 years earlier and was shown on another network.

could be hard to find the full episode, or any full episode, anywhere. since disney now own the simpsons (and family guy and a few others). disney is tight with their control of content. i think they have a chain of warehouses somewhere with nothing but cease and desist letters just waiting to be sent out...lol

Most of this nostalgia gives me heartburn. Give me the new stuff.

I used to like watching "Ghost whisperer" and "Grimm" that most people can't remember.
