Television Trivia/name of TV show

Question
Dear Marcia;

The death of Bob Mathias reminded me that there was (briefly) a television show; ? 1960s or early 70s that revolved around a construction worker who was an ex athlete, who used his Athletic skills on the job. I thought Bob Mathias appeared in this , but I seem to remember Keenan Wynn as the "boss"

Can you  help me ?

Thanks

Answer
HI AK,

This is a toughie.  IMDB has a few things at this location -- http://imdb.com/title/tt0052519/#comment  -- there's a forum there -- you may have found it and posted there already.  I also found this at tv.com --- http://www.tv.com/the-troubleshooters/kitchener-knew-it-well/episode/362132/summ...  and it actually lists both Keenan and Bob M, though there really isn't any detailed information.  Seems to be a little show that few watched -- may have been destroyed by neglect or fire from what I've read.

That's really all I could find on it.   Good luck!

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.
