I Led Three Lives

[Gary O']

Anyone remember this intriguing TV series?

'53-'56

I don't remember much about it, but my folks were rapt

My dad always watched that after we got a tv. It was over my young head.

 

[Paco Dennis]

I was a toddler. I never heard of it.

Herbert Philbrick's covert life as an FBI spy within the Communist underground, his dual existence fraught with constant peril and the challenge of keeping his espionage activities hidden from family and friends.

Pre James Bond intrigue!

Marathon of episodes here if you want to jump in.

Richard Carlson, I have seen him in so many movies. I remember the title of the show. I think I saw it a few times. If a western was on another network, my father would have been watching that.

No, but it looks good.

No, but it looks good.

It was ahead of it's time
Then again, the red scare and McCarthyism probably had a huge influence

Good choice of dates, Gary. '53 - '56. Met a girl in '53', married her in '56. If you add '24, we're still together today.

I doubt my parents watched it. I was only 6 when it came out so I don't remember it.

I not only remember the show, watched the show with my family, but was on a trip to the seacoast of New Hampshire, must have been the seventies, when we saw a huge billboard proclaiming Herbert Philbrick lived and worked in the immediate area and was the reason for the show "I Lead 3 Lives." We were thrilled to see this.

TV always huge part of my life.

Well now there's one I never heard of! In fairness, I wasn't born yet in '56, but I've usually heard of shows that pre-date me.
