In reply to the discussion: Does Anyone Remember TV's "Ben Casey" or "Dr. Kildare" ? [View all]pressbox69
(2,252 posts)would let me watch anything so long as I didn't get nightmares. I still remember being angry because my favorite Friday night TV show, The Line Up, was replaced by The Twilight Zone. Was even more angry a short time later when Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop replaced my beloved Buffalo Bob and Howdy Doody. I cried more than Clarabell the clown did when that last episode ended. I wonder how many kids remember watching both The Twilight Zone and Howdy Doody, before they started school. One of the few Ben Casey episodes I sort of remember was with Stanley Addams who played a comic. Sam Jaffe (Dr. Zorba) played Albert Einstein professor types in two movies, Gentleman's Agreement and The Day the Earth Stood Still. Was Oscar nominated for The Asphalt Jungle. Played the High Lama in Lost Horizon. Title role in Gunga Din and played Ben Hur's faithful friend.
Thank you everyone for all your wonderful responses. I really thought this post would go largely ignored.
