Here are the closing credits from the January 14th, 1962 episode of NBC’s ABC’s Follow the Sun, which was titled “The Last of the Big Spenders.” The video is a little jittery. The drama starred Brett Halsey and Barry Coe as magazine writers living in Hawaii. Gary Lockwood co-starred as their research assistant with Gigi Perreau as their secretary. The series ran for 30 episodes during the 1961-1962 season.
Exploring forgotten TV from the 1920s to today.
“FOLLOW THE SUN” was on ABC, not NBC {they featured “WALT DISNEY’S WONDERFUL WORLD OF COLOR”, in its first season, on Sundays at 7:30pm(et)- one reason why “FOLLOW THE SUN” was cancelled after its only season}. Nice theme [by Sonny Burke]. Lee Tracy returned as “Gentleman Johnny” in the final episode of the series {“Chalk One Up For Johnny”/April 8, 1962} in an effort to spin-off his character into his own series- ABC passed on the idea.
“FOLLOW THE SUN” starred Barry Coe and Garry Lockwood. One episode I really remember was one of William Bendix last TV appearances before his passing, it was titled ‘Sgt. Kolcheck Fades Away”.
He must have been sick a long time, as he didn’t pass until 1964
This is one of those shows that I with they would either show on TV or release on DVD-at a cheap price, for it looks to be very good!
I wonder how much more Fox filmed in Hawaii than Warners did for HAWAIIAN EYE…
What was the name of the magazine they worked for? Thanks
I wonder if they got any stick for not using native Hawaiian actors?
