Question
I'm trying to find the name of a TV show which I believe is American and was a cross between Mission Impossible, Drty Dozen and Kellys's Heroes. It had a character called " Casino" who was a expert knife thrower and he used to drop the knife down from his sleeve. Sorry can not help anymore on the info.
Thanks

Answer
Lol, the show you are trying to recall is "Garrison's Gorillas", an adventure show first broadcast on the ABC Television Network (in the US) in 1967...

The show was set during World War II; and starred Ron Harper as Lt. Craig Garrison, the leader of a unique group: the rest of the team was made up of convicts...

There was Casino (Rudy Solari), a master thief; Actor (Cesare Davona), a master con artist; Goniff (Christopher Cary), an expert pickpocket; and Chief (Brendon Boone), a switchblade artist...

Stories relate their efforts to assist the allies against the Germans...


I hope this answers your query !!!

Thanks for a Great Question !!!
Take Care,
Mike

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...)
