       Watching some reruns the other day as a form of background noise, I
realized that there were a bunch of adventure type shows produced in the
1960's (and many were good) that portrayed a male hero type (usually a
gentle person) that was not married or maybe divorced or lost a wife
somehow.  Examples are: Flipper, Gentle Ben, Lassie, Daktari, Andy Griffeth
to name a few.  All of these guys wore khaki colored shirts and were some
sort of public servants I believe.  

   I wonder what was the psychological reasoning behind producing a string
of shows like these with so many unattached fathers?  Oh......My Three Sons
sort of falls into the same catagory.

Back to the drafting table, bye for now.....
