The Second Hundred Years

or, I Thawed Pa. This short-lived sitcom from 1967 found star Arthur O'Connell older looking than his freshly-thawed, 101-year-old father, played by Monte Markham, to say nothing of being older than his son, also played by Markham.

The Second Hundred Years lasted a mere 26 episodes. This is the pilot episode.

Undoubtedly one of cable networks was showing a bunch of pilot episodes sometime back, and some people on YouTube have posted them for people's enjoyment. I can think of many, many short-lived television shows, especially the turkeys, which should be out on DVD. I think they'd sell.

Since the weather is predicting show shit for the next few days, I thought this show appropriate for the blog.
