route 66

1960 TV series on DVD

Filmed on location all over the United States, along the course of the famous highway (and beyond), Route 66 debuted on October 7, 1960.

The premise was simple: ernest, privileged and sheltered Tod Stiles' (Martin Milner) father dies and leaves him a shiny new Corvette but little money; he and his buddy Buzz Murdock (George Maharis), who grew up in Hell's Kitchen, take off in the car to discover America, in search of adventure and enlightenment. There were no other co-stars, just guest stars and guest cities.
