As recreational drugs became widely known I suspected that the drug in question in this episode could have been LSD. One of these days I am going to purchase the "Route 66" box set. When we first got cable TV around 1980 there were nightly repeats of Route 66 on a channel I don't recall. I watched it often then, too. I've occasionally thought that "Route 66" was a cross between "On the Road" the novel by Jack Kerouac and the Mary Worth comic strip. Tod and Buzz traveled from town to town and involved themselves in other peoples' business and helped them out just like Mary Worth. Even as a nine year old kid, the point was not lost on me that Tod and Buzz drove around in awesome Corvette Stingrays on a series that was sponsored by Chevrolet. Product placement in scripted television episodes was a real thing even that far back.Daddy-o Dillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946646939549773398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-27630361190652549852017-07-29T19:18:30.830-04:002017-07-29T19:18:30.830-04:00Yeah, it's a standout episode (and pretty cree...Yeah, it's a standout episode (and pretty creepy at times) and it's remarkable to me that the show was barely nominated for Emmys throughout its run and never won one. I also feel guilty that I haven't continued progressing through the series for some time.

I know Dragnet did an episode called "The LSD Story" aka "Blue Boy" in 1967. <br /><br />Another Route 66 episode I'm looking forward to seeing is the one where Buz becomes temporarily blinded, "Even the Stones Have Eyes." I hear it's a standout performance from George Maharis in that one. Poor Tod and Buz, getting themselves into trouble...Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122952408610512684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-87897324699641997222016-06-30T10:01:54.989-04:002016-06-30T10:01:54.989-04:00I haven't seen this episode yet Pam and am loo...I haven't seen this episode yet Pam and am looking forward to it. Amazingly enough, around the same time, the TV Show One Step Beyond (with John Newland) did something similar, devoting an entire show to a documentary about psychedelic mushrooms. The show is up on YouTube at the below link, but it's amazing this got on TV in 1960.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UuHrm2tHvEJZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830586696690222760noreply@blogger.com
