"I-Spy"

"Bonanza" (by Bama, no less)

"The Man from U.N.C.L.E."

I particularly enjoy the Bonanza poster, as our dear friends the Cartwrights have soldiered on without brother Adam. Yes, that still haunts me...Is it safe to say that Bonanza kept NBC afloat during the 1960s?

I'd say there was a direct desire to emulate!

These are really great. I know FSM used the I SPY poster in their must have release booklet. My favorite? The James Bama poster for BONANZA. I loved his paintings on old paperback DOC SAVAGE reprints in the 60's and early 70's. The TREK poster is great too, I did not know that old paperback cover was from the promo poster.

It'd be great to see reissues of these, but who would the audience be?

The NBC posters are wonderful. It's amazing that a network would actually commission such things to promote their shows. Nowadays, even feature films are promoted with bland photo-montage publicity materials; only George Lucas seems to retain a fondess for, and belief in, the romantic power of a well-executed piece of art to publicize a movie.

The Bonanza poster could have been made yesterday, it looks that modern.
Thanks for the picuters.

Kind regards.

Thanks Jim. These posters really bring back the memories. No doubt about it,the 1966-1967 television season is my all time favorite. T.H.E. Cat, U.N.C.L.E.( both Man From and Girl From),The Green Hornet,Batman,Time Tunnel,Star Trek,
Mission: Impossible,The Hero,Laredo,Wild,
Wild,West,Lost In Space,Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea,Run Buddy Run,Get Smart,
I Spy, and lots more. What have we got today on "free t.v."? Survivor my ass,reality bullcrap,
American Idol wannabe? Real garbage IMHO.

Real garbage IMHO, too.

All these show in this particular season, failure or not, were better efforts than anything being offered now, I'll gladly watch IT'S ABOUT TIME! (Look at a post I made last November on one of our great TV threads.)

Is that thread still running? Zelig, help!

I bought that STAR TREK Paperback years ago along with several more in the Series and one called SPOCK MUST DIE.

They're all somewhere in storage now. Great Cover on that first one and great memories of the past.

I like all that Movie and TV Artwork with the Titles in Stone.

I believe HAWAII and GOLD, both scored by Elmer B. have art done with the similar Title in Stone style. Also, one version of the Poster of ISLAND AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD comes to mind.

The HAWAII Poster:

Thanks for posting.

The I Spy and UNCLE posters are outstanding. I wish the shows were actually as exciting and tense as the art make you believe. I'd kill for those and the Trek poster, framed and hung in my TV room.

STEVENJ: IIRC, we had three classic TV threads running concurrently! (it was a heady month!) and yes, its still running!

Glad I'm not alone in the love for that great Bonanza poster. Seems to me that the 1966-1967 season was a very colorful time with lots of fun adventure shows which IMO were desperately needed to satve off all of those IMO crappy sitcoms, which if TVLand is to be believed -based on their boring schedule- that the only classic TV people remember are the sitcoms. Bring us Mannix!

Yes, MANNIX. What can we do to get this incredibly good show on DVD? Lord knows, it was violent enough. Does that catch "the eye"?

I'm sure its release is imminent! Because more often than not, if we will something into being, it shall arrive! Mannix must be!
