AboutMike Hensel Expertise I will try and answer all questions dealing with television...show names, plots, actors, roles, networks, etc...US shows primarily; not real knowledgeable on TV from other countries...I lean heavily into past, more so than current, television...and, my knowledge dealing with "reality" shows is limited, due to the fact that I really can't stand the genre (my apologies to all the "Reality" fans out there...)

Question I kinda remember a tv show about man that built a rocket and used it to collect space junk. can you help me remember the name of the show?
Answer I sure can, Smitty...
That show was called "Salvage 1", which ran on the ABC Television Network from January 20, 1979 to August, 1979, with a special showing on November 11, 1979...
It starred Andy Griffith as Harry Broderick, the owner of a salvage company who goes to extreme lengths to recover junk; including having a Vulcan rocket for space excursions to retrieve scientific artifacts...
His partners were Skip Carmichael, played by Joel Higgins, a former member of NASA, and Melanie Slozar, played by Trish Sterling...
