RE :”I loved those movies.

Yep, as I did being a kid. In fact seeing the intros to Walt Disney TV show with Wild Kingdom intros on youtube brought me back.

I recall Russell did those Disney movies into the early 70s, then in late 70s he starred in a TV movie as a sniper-type terrorist in Texas who started just shooting everyone from a tower that he saw on a campus.

But its the Irwin Allen dumb sci-fi shows like Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (my favorite) that really rung my bell as a kid.

In fact I been DVRing it Saturday night s on Me TV here.

Oh, yeah. Poor CPT Crane probably wishing that the Flag would get off his boat so he could actually -you know- assume command. Giant squids and flying submarines and all that good stuff.

I couldn't understand at that age why real submarines didn't have huge viewports in the bow like the Seaview did. :-)

Funny, I've been DVRing Combat! and 12 O'Clock High on MeTV.

I enjoyed the movie of Voyage, and the first season of the TV show, but I recall it devolved into the rubber monster of the week, so I didn't like it so much after that.

I also watched Irwin Allen's The Time Tunnel and Land of the Giants, too.

I loved Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea as well. I had a crush on one of the blond guys :)

I would rent VHS (yes, VHS, not DVD's) Disney movies for my kids when they were sick.

Out came a sleeping bag and stuffed animals and they would settle in for an afternoon of Herbie, the Love Bug, Flubber, or some other old Disney type movie. Fun memories and a tradition I hope they contine with their own children
