> R66 though was all about that car... It's a spiffy car, but Route 66 is interesting enough as a look at America (and television) from 50 years ago. (Retro TV shows it weekdays, while MeTV has it on Sunday overnights.) It was essentially an anthology with no real continuing plot, where the guys would go someplace new, find jobs, and be thrown into the week's story. Episodes were shot all over the U.S.
The Time obit claims Milner had "contract issues", but the AP correctly ascribes them to Maharis. Milner was on through the entire series. The AP talks about the show being set on and around Route 66, though, when it was set all over the country, including many places that were nowhere near the actual road. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
