Thanks for posting that Youtube link, I was only about 10 years old when that TV program was popular, but loved the show.
To: bitt
Wow. Buck Henry and now Kookie. This is sure news to me!

Different kind of private eye show. Rotating characters. Edd started as a stoolie and later joined the agency. It took a dark turn in its latter years.

While I didn’t have a crush on him...I did get a Remington Hot Comb for Christmas the year he appeared in the commercial for it.
I think it was the second version with the [water] spray, say 1970 or thereabouts.

Thanks...great music, and very hard to forget. Never got to drive Route 66, although it was something I had wanted to do.

Darn, I never really did get to watch 77 Sunset Strip but wow, Kookie WAS a cutie! RIP, Kookster.
Btw, what does the ‘77’ stand for?

I was browsing pages on Edd Byrnes just last week.
Another bit of Boomer culture passes on. RIP Kookie.

Admin mustn’t be a Boomer. Sacrilege to dismiss Kookie’s passing as “not news”.

OH! Thank you have wondered that for a long time!
Gonna have to look up this show and watch a few. Some of those shows were pretty cool.

They look similar in that head shot but Edd Byrnes was a lot more masculine than the androgynous David Bowie.

Both videos worth watching. The first one has lots of nice 50’s cars.

“Btw, what does the 77 stand for?”
A Sunset Blvd street address, which in reality puts you on a bridge over the Hollywood Freeway.
