At the time this originally aired [November 26, 1961], Jack Paar was the host of NBC's late-night talk show [11:15pm-1am(et)], and Hugh Downs was his announcer. Paar's final telecast was at the end of March 1962. Johnny Carson succeeded him as host of "THE TONIGHT SHOW" that October.

I just love this show, I am 51 and I was too young to see these and remember them, so to get the chance now is real cool. They just don't make comedy shows like this anymore and the comedians on this show are all top notch talent. Seeing Hue Downs as a young man is real cool, that voice never changed.

This one of few cop series, that shows police officers as human, with most other show having cops as caricatures. Writers must have been cops or had them in family, because there are so many subtle nuances absent on shows like Dragnet, Adam-12, Hill Street Blues, etc. Only other cop show that had this, that I can recall, was Barney Miller. Also, notice how cast was integrated, with black cops not 'tokens' like other shows, but just 'one of the guys'.

When I first heard the theme song I thought the last part was "Cruise Ship's stuck at Idlewild" or something like that. Given that Idlewild (now JFK International) is an airport having a cruise ship there would be a bit of a problem and fit in perfectly with the song.

Ever read some of the Joe E Ross stories about filming this show? He would be out all night long and show up to set with his hooker from the night before. Hiken was being driven crazy by his antics and decided that he needed another director just so that he did not have to deal with Ross on every show. Legendary stuff for a legendary show.

My Weird Family, Chapter Ten: My grandmother lived in the same house as her daughter and her husband, my uncle, who was a wonderful man. When Bert died, at much too young an age, my grandmother was unaffected. Then, when Hugh Downs passed away, she practically had a nervous breakdown.

Interesting how much this is a sign of the times.. Jack Paar walking off his own TV show because they censored one of his jokes was huge news back in the day. This must have been broadcast not very long afterword. Even the last stanza of the theme song says Kruschev's due at Idlewyld ... they renamed it to JFK airport after his assassination in November of 63 :((

Fun fact: When filming on the streets of NYC (such as the Bronx Expressway here,) the prop police cars were actually red and white so nobody would mistake them for real NYPD cruisers which were black and white. Since the show was filmed in black & white, the car appeared black and white.

All religions are basically the same, telling the and joke. A man walks into a (name your religion’s house of worship). He comes to God sitting on the throne asking why there are so many problems in the world. God says he doesn’t know why. The man says, “Shouldn’t you know? You’re God”.
