Route 66: The Complete Series [24 Discs] in Bloomington, MN

A superior 1960s series about friends Tod Stiles and Buz Murdock driving across the U.S. in a Corvette. Along the way, of course, they encountered and helped plenty of interesting (often troubled) people. Among the guests who appeared were Robert Redford, Alan Alda, Rod Steiger and Ethel Waters (in an Emmy-nominated performance as a dying blues singer). Nelson Riddle composed the series' classic theme. The show was revived unsuccessfully in the summer of 1993.
