Boy, did that bring back loads of memories! RIP Mr. Byrnes.
Nah...two blue eyes rather than 1 blue 1 brown.

Thanks for posting that Youtube link, I was only about 10 years old when that TV program was popular, but loved the show.
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.
LOL

She was a babe.
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?
*** what does the 77 stand for? ***
Address of the agency..77 Sunset Strip
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.
