About Marcia Studley Expertise I`m a true member of the tv generation! I grew up doing my homework while watching the classics of the 60`s and 70`s and today, they are still my favorites. I have a big library of tv and film reference books at my disposal, as well as a large video library. My memory is pretty darn good too, and when that fails, I can hit the books and/or videos, not to mention a few friends who are as devout tv gen members as I am. Please note that my expertise is with American tv only.
Question Do you remember a TV show from the mid to late 60's (or early 70's) whose main character was a sailor (tall, blond and Troy Donahue look alike). He was a widower with several children. Lived in a big house with a boat and a dock, or maybe a houseboat?
Answer Hi David,
I've racked my brain trying to think of what this could be. It sounds more like the film The Sound of Music, than anything else. There have been several shows with widowers. Can't think of a Troy type, though. Richard Long had 3 children in Nanny and the Professor. I've done some searches with no luck. Do you remember anything at all -- character name, performer, city the story took place in, # of children -- etc.
