TV Viewers these days simply cannot and will not appreciate Route 66 - they can't sit still long enough to understand the story lines! Young viewers - 30's and younger - simply cannot comprehend an intelligent show that makes it's audience actually think. Viewers want a show that has more slapstick than knowledge - if they'd just get through a couple of episodes perhaps they'd understand the greatness of Route 66. It's a bygone era and a bygone style of TV writing. So sad for the young viewers - they have no idea what they're missing. Because it's in Black and White, they feel it's "too old" "Outdated" and don't even try. I love the episodes from my home state! I do believe, with the County Libraries help, I've managed to re-watch every episode of Route 66, even that first illusive episode - Black November. It is interesting seeing actors' (Ed Asner, Suzanne Pleshette, Julie Newmar, etc.) guest appearances on these shows! Tod, Buz and Linc were such Good Guys! Such good all American boys traveling to good All American towns. There's love friction, violence, social issues - everything a show has to offer! Route 66 has it all!
