ROUTE 66 MARATHON
Decades, 12:00 a.m. ET
Sorry if I worried any of you yesterday by not posting Bets for Saturday. Couldn’t do it. Day after vaccine shot #2. All I’ll say is, THAT is a side effect?! And THAT?! But I’m back, and the thing I was most excited about pointing out yesterday is repeated today anyway. It’s the Decades weekend marathon of episodes of Route 66, the 1960-64 drama series created by Naked City producer Stirling Silliphant, who wrote most of the episodes. Martin Milner and George Maharis star as guys who take to the open road in a 1961 Corvette, riding along the Chicago-to-L.A. Route 66 highway, and elsewhere. Eventually, the series filmed on location in 40 states, and those directors included Robert Altman and Sam Peckinpah.
