I'm pretty sure my family was living out in the South Pacific about that time with no television. So, missed it.

that actually worked for the citizens of this country.

When I first dove with a tank, was amazed at how wonderful it is staying underwater without having to surface for air. Jacques Cousteau was also one of my major heroes.

Seahunt with Lloyd Bridges .. yes I loved that show.. and loved the acting of his too.. he was given the role that was to make his fame.. Mike Nelson.. As Nelson , a former United States Navy frogman. Bridges travelled the south-eastern part of America and the Carribean as a do -good underwater "Sheriff" Sea Hunt introduced millions of people all over the world to the new activity of Scuba Diving.. I was too young to watch Sea Hunt as a first run TV show but in the early 60s I remember watching his adventures on afternoon TV. Who will ever forget Mike Nelson wrestling with some crook before getting his air hose cut (as a friend of a scuba diver I know now that it was the exhaust hose that was cut making a lot of show but no danger ) The show ended in 1961 after 156 episodes , not because the ratings decreed it so, but because Bridges attempted to move the show into fighting environmental issues.. He once stated that "I wanted the show to look at the real villains of the sea. like the oil companies. He refused to be compromised and the producers of the show refuses to change (they wanted more of the same ) so Bridges quit the show. Thanks for the memories of a wonderful show..
