Now I do remember that television show and I kinda liked it. It was interesting. It was kind of groundbreaking away also. Back in the early 1970s there was a show on NBC that ran about one season I think it was on the mystery movie series that had Columbo and some others. It was called Tenafly and star James McEachin. He was a black actor who has done a lot of good shows and it was a great little show. He was a private detective at work for a big company, and I thought it was very well done I’d like to see it again but it’s hard to find it. It’s not even on YouTube.
James McEachin has a very interesting Bio.
James McEachin was born on May 20, 1930 in Rennert, North Carolina. At the age of 18 he joined the US Armed Forces and served in the Korean War earning many medals of valor to include the Purple Heart and Silver Star.* After leaving the military he spent time as a policeman and then fireman before moving to California and becoming a record producer. After a short stint in the music industry McEachin went into acting and spent many years in film and television. Not yet content he took time away from acting to become an award-winning author and maker of audio books. In 2005 McEachin was appointed as a US Army Reserve Ambassador and spends his free time speaking to soldiers, veterans and America. In late 2006 he produced the film-short Old Glory, a film short for the soldier, veteran and patriot in us all. In 2008 McEachin opened his one-man play, Above the Call; Beyond the Duty at the John F. Kennedy Center, Washington, DC and his since played Casa Manana, Ft. Worth, TX, Brentwood Theater, Los Angeles, CA, and Merle Reskin Theatre, Chicago, IL.
McEachin is married with three grown children and resides in So Cal.
* In 2005, CA Congressman David Dreier awarded him medals of valor earned (but never issued by the government) to include the Purple Heart and Silver Star, some fifty-four years after he served in the Korean War. . . McEachin was completely unaware of the Silver Star until “Team Dreier” presented the findings.
David Huddleston and James McEachin both stared first in a 11 minute short film, Reville. IMBD lists Old Glory as a 23 minute film, but I could not find anything other then a two minute clip from it.

“Old Glory” which won the 2007 GI Film Festival Award for Best Short Film in Washington, DC at the Ronald Reagan International Building. Old Glory won against a film short whose budget was $5.5 million dollars and many times that of Old Glory’s budget.
In 2004, twin brothers Adam Montierth & Donovan Montierth along with writing partner, Jason Walters, wrote, produced and directed a little 35mm film that changed their lives. That film, which started out as a tribute to their grandfather, was called Reveille and starred film and American Forces Veteran’s David Huddleston and James McEachin. Reveille soon was screened at over 50 film festivals, winning over 20 awards and was shown on The Pentagon Channel and the American Forces Network. In 2007, it was viewed by the Armed Forces in Balad, Iraq, became a viral sensation by being viewed to over 5 million people on Google Video (before there was YouTube) and won the twins an Emmy Award.
