Penny Perris You’re another idiot who judges a time by your own naive and stupid opinion of it formed as a child. The 70s were a time of disappointment, disillusionment, disaster. Families in several countries were coming to terms with the fact that sons, fathers, brothers would not be coming home from a useless war in southeast Asia. Or if they did survive, they were either mentally or physically scarred for life and 50 yrs later the repercussions were still being felt. If you live in a country that the Vietnam war did not touch then there are plenty of other things to consider... Children were being molested, wives were being abused, criminals were being made as the drugs scene took a firmer grip on society further ruining families. Wages were low, politicians were already untrustworthy and HIV was just rearing its ugly head. In 2020 things are terrible but it started a long long time ago.
@@PetroicaRodinogaster264 You are ANGRY!! Children are still being molested, wives are still abused, the drug scene is as healthy as ever and wages are still far too low. HIV is still a monster, herpes as rampant as ever and now Covid 19. It started with Adam and Eve - IF you believe in Adam and Eve. ;)
@@PetroicaRodinogaster264 A pity a TH-cam viewer can't relive a chapter in their life by watching a wonderful show like "Quinn Martin's Tales of the Unexpected" and be so moved, share his/her feelings with the rest of the audience -- only to have a mindless being address her/him "idiot." .Speaking of audience "Penny Perris" -- although it was two years ago -- has 36 "up" votes.

How selfish, stupid, mean, accusatory and idiotic can one be? "Look in the mirror."

Cotswold Cuckoo what a bloody stupid and naive thing to say. The universe has been very UNWELL ever since the first humans appeared. If you were young at the time this originally aired then you would not known any better.
I just love anything with Bill Bixby in it. As a little kid in the 70's I remember he not only had his own show or shows - but he was also a guest on just about every popular TV show at the time. Everybody knew who he was or recognized his face he was pretty much everywhere. He was good at comedy and drama and was always entertaining.
And in 50 years time people will say how good life was in 2020's! When we were young, we didn't have the same responsibilities as we have as we have when we have families of our own. We also have very selective memories and also, as individuals we have had completely different lives. I hated the seventies! The 80's were much better for me. 😊
Yep, I remember it well. The Cold War, Constant anxiety about nuclear obliteration, the Three Day Week, power cuts, the Winter of Discontent, rampant and casual racism, sexual discrimination and unequal pay, constant strikes and squabbling between unions and government, women had to seek permission from their husbands or a male guarantor to draw out large sums of money from their own bank accounts, lousy food in restaurants, only three TV channels - all of which went off not long after midnight. Yes, so much better than now...
I saw this when it first aired. I haven’t seen it since then but it stood out in my memory all these years. I never thought I’d see it again because the show was canceled in the first season. Bill Bixby was such a great actor. I have enjoyed his performance in this and the other shows he had done throughout his career.
First time ever viewing this show. Surprised I'd never heard of this as a child in the 70s, as I love show like this. Thx so very much for uploading this, what a pleasant surprise!
wow, I just started watching this without knowing what it was... Bill Bixby suddenly appeared (my favorite actor of all time) and it was about my favorite subject. EXCELLENT!
@@denisovanhybrid9610 I guess Bixby thought he could back to his time period by taking another boat.. obviously he wasn’t thinking clearly. He was so upset about losing his family. Poor man.
There were so many good shows in the seventies. Quinn Martin productions, Dan Curtis scary shows, Aaron Spelling, Sherwood Schwartz, to name a few. Great cop shows. I, as a kid into my teens years, watched these shows with my family and friends. Great memories!
This series only ran in the summer of 1977. The only other sci fi series from Quinn Martin was The Invaders in 1967. He produced mostly crime dramas like The FBI, Streets of San Francisco, The Fugitive, Cannon and Barnaby Jones to name a few.
Why are they sailing in the dark in a storm at night and drinking. Lol. I was 16 when this came out. I used to love these movies. Cheers from Montreal.
So many shows from the 1970s had scenes with the Hare Krishna devotees chanting. They were everywhere. Btw, that's William Conrad narrating, who himself starred in another Quinn Martin Production: "Cannon".
THIS WAS A WONDERFUL SHOW OF A MAN OUT OF HIS TIME MADE MORE WONDERFUL BY BILL MY DAD AND I BOTH LOVED HIM SO AS DID MY MOM, WE MISS YOU BILL RIP WILFRED BAILEY BIXBY!!!! /GARY BAILEY
Man 25 years ago is 1991 and I was in the 11th grade...hell, I'm going on 41 now and if I were to see anyone from back then I would most definitely remember them....More if they still looked like they did 25 years earlier...
Hey how does it feel now that you are a few yrs older from when you wrote your comment. Do folks still remember you from back then :) Hope your boat is a yatch now lol.

That moment of recognition between Bill Bixby and Amanda...priceless. You somehow knew she heard/saw him yelling & running. Very good acting on her brief but pivotal part. 👍🏽💯🤗
Came here to watch Bill Bixby and was not disappointed. His acting was always on point. I did not expect that ending though...I guess thats why the show was the unexpected.
Always enjoyed The Magician in 1974, starring Bill Bixby. One of my favourite shows! I always felt sorry for him as Bruce Banner in the Hulk. Brilliant actor👏
My Favourite Martian, The Courtship Of Eddie's Father, The Magician and The Incredible Hulk. All television shows starring Bill Bixby. I saw this episode of Tales Of The Unexpected in 1977 and the ending gave me goosebumps like no other episode of the American and British adaptions of the series. RIP Bill Bixby and thank you for the television memories.
Excuse me Tales if the Unexpected was FIRST a BRITISH show…..as usual the Americans COPIED the British….but yea wouldn’t expect an American to know that much 😂🙄
When tv land first came on it played all the good old tv shows along with the old commercials!! I guess it cost too much money to air all the old tv shows and the old commercials, cuz they soon stopped.
Another great episode, thanks for posting this. That was strange when we see an upside down model of an Eagle transporter in the window of Toy World, then on the reverse shot it’s hanging the right way up in the window!
@@denisovanhybrid9610 they were only slightly suspicious. Most of us would 100% recognize our father from 25 years ago and hug him (regardless of corona). 😺 There'd be no need for discussion
I thought he was going to go through the Bermuda Triangle and back to 1952. Also, the reason he wanted to know how Billy died was to try and save him. When he and if he went back in time he could tell him to not go fishing on that day. It reminds me of the movie The Philadelphia Experiment which was also a super great movie.
Never tire of hearing that pulsing "Quinn Martin's Tales of the Unexpected" theme -- the orchestra's pianist takes the lead with significant percussion. Because QM Productions sold this program to NBC -- meaning it didn't originate on Martin's other longtime venues, ABC and CBS -- the main title music wasn't cluttered -- and music aficionados in the home audience weren't burdened -- with the production company's contracted, familiar male voice announcing each guest star as his / her image from the episode appeared on screen, plus that week's title preceded by announcement of the series' name and " . . . a Quinn Martin Production." On the pianist's second go-round, at 0:20, prominent support from violins comes in; finally, at 0:35 the sounds of ?muted French horns? and / or ?muted trombones? with ?flutes? join in with bolder violin accompaniment and significant harp action. Fast approaching the finale at the 60-second mark the sounds of violins and piano take it higher and higher and higher. All the while, fantastic percussion present. 1977: However that week's chilling, moody, sometimes frightening "Quinn Martin's Tales of the Unexpected" episode entertained its audience, this unique, potent theme by composer David Shire set the stage. It left no doubt what type possibilities were in store. I'm not a music scoring expert; these are simply my enthusiastic evaluations because I'm a fan of series' themes and care to know.
Well the episode was called No Way Out, not too surprising not a happy ending. Bill Bixby was so masterful at capturing your attention so magnetic. And you believe every word.
I use to watch this as a young lady. I surely miss the 70's what a time to be alive.
I've never watched them before but now that's what I call living lol. And to come back 25 yrs younger can't beat that hahaha

I thought he was rated pretty well. Played in a lot of shows. Underrated?
Every time I see Hulk nowadays in these new movies. I always think Bill Bixby. He'll always be "Dr. David Banner"
Agreed
I loved those Quinn Martin Productions, split into Acts with the epilogues. Everything was well with the universe back then. Thanks for posting.

Cotswold Cuckoo what a bloody stupid and naive thing to say. The universe has been very UNWELL ever since the first humans appeared. If you were young at the time this originally aired then you would not known any better.

Very good but oh so sad...There is nothing better than 70's movies #LoveThem
Good story. Gotta love youtube...I get to discover new (old) faves!!
Yeah I don't watch normle tv, only TH-cam so I watch exactly what I want. You can travel the world in your mind with no money, like that!
Yeah until the copyright commies shut it down and lock them back up in a vault.
I actually remember when this was broadcast on NBC in the 70s. I was a little kid and loved the concept of a man who was stuck in the future.
Thanks for posting it. First time watching it was on tv in Hong Kong in 1977 and had since longed to watch it again.
I don't get how his son didn't recognize the dad..after all he looked the way he had the last time he saw him 25 years before!
He would have. Just lazy scriptwriting, like at the end.
Yep...I think that the end ruined this movie,disapointement for me....
Because he didn't expect him to be his father. And he was a little boy. Time fades memories.
Easily done if you haven't had contact with someone.
Anyone else recognize the boy who plays Bixby's son? He was on Little House on the Prairie.
...That's Patrick Labyorteaux (Andrew Garvey-LHOTP) & (Bud Roberts-JAG, NCIS).
Always enjoyed The Magician in 1974, starring Bill Bixby. One of my favourite shows! I always felt sorry for him as Bruce Banner in the Hulk. Brilliant actor👏
Same here. One has to be in a special kind of mood to watch The Incredible Hulk.
Lara Parker played his pretty late wife Laura Banner
Sure wish their were more of these..shame it hadn't gone on longer

Oh no I didn’t know he’d died. He was so marvellous in Anchors Aweigh 1945. I liked him in Quantum Leap too.
I remember him from Quantum Leap
He was great in gangster movies too.
Made me cry so much. Excellent story. Love the oldies.
@@denisovanhybrid9610 He never made it back and his body as it went through the Bermuda Triangle aged him to his correct chronoiogical age.
Thank you for uploading.
alright we got Bill Bixby the original TV Hulk that I watched all the time couldn't wait to see the next episode
My favorite episode ❤️❤️❤️
Mine too
Well, that wasn't the ending I expected!
One of my favorite actors, so much tragedy in his life
I thought he was going to go through the Bermuda Triangle and back to 1952. Also, the reason he wanted to know how Billy died was to try and save him. When he and if he went back in time he could tell him to not go fishing on that day. It reminds me of the movie The Philadelphia Experiment which was also a super great movie.
Never tire of hearing that pulsing "Quinn Martin's Tales of the Unexpected" theme -- the orchestra's pianist takes the lead with significant percussion. Because QM Productions sold this program to NBC -- meaning it didn't originate on Martin's other longtime venues, ABC and CBS -- the main title music wasn't cluttered -- and music aficionados in the home audience weren't burdened -- with the production company's contracted, familiar male voice announcing each guest star as his / her image from the episode appeared on screen, plus that week's title preceded by announcement of the series' name and " . . . a Quinn Martin Production."
On the pianist's second go-round, at 0:20, prominent support from violins comes in; finally, at 0:35 the sounds of ?muted French horns? and / or ?muted trombones? with ?flutes? join in with bolder violin accompaniment and significant harp action. Fast approaching the finale at the 60-second mark the sounds of violins and piano take it higher and higher and higher. All the while, fantastic percussion present.
1977: However that week's chilling, moody, sometimes frightening "Quinn Martin's Tales of the Unexpected" episode entertained its audience, this unique, potent theme by composer David Shire set the stage. It left no doubt what type possibilities were in store.
I'm not a music scoring expert; these are simply my enthusiastic evaluations because I'm a fan of series' themes and care to know.
love Bill Bixby. Love from IRELAND
We give to our children. What our parents gave to us
So true but you never hear that sort of talk today
$2.80 for a cab ride. ahhhh the good old days.
$11.73 in 2018 dollars
They put money in the uniform for him at the naval hospital?
In 1977 inflation was sky high. Many people could barely afford groceries from week to week.
Couldn't find this at first, it was called "A twist in a Tale" in the UK.
...Completely different series.
Well the episode was called No Way Out, not too surprising not a happy ending. Bill Bixby was so masterful at capturing your attention so magnetic. And you believe every word.
Always great storytelling in QM productions, but John should have known something was wrong when he saw the mountains on the Florida coast.
@Daniel Drader , well, they certainly weren’t the Rockies, but almost certainly were the mountain chain to the east of Los Angeles.
Him running after the car... wow loved it.
It is very true that's when you know who your true friends are . They are all out for themselves .
As I keep watching these actors that are so familiar to me I feel b. Like I'm ,18 yes old again.
Thnks for uploading ❤
When Bill Bixby was on the boat during the storm I thought for sure he was gonna turn into the Hulk!
Good show. Thank you. Lots of good character actors. Chris Pine's dad Robert in this one.👍
The ending only made it twice as sad...wow.
Bill Bixby Is So Handsome!
That voiceover man is in every Quinn Martin Production!
William Conrad (the original Matt Dillon on radio) and star of "Jake and the Fat Man."
...And starred in one: Cannon.
I thought they kind of rushed the ending there. I hate that when they do that.
😂😂😂😂
So you have that... when they do that?
I love bill Bixby i like that scene where those 3 guys try to subdue him I thought he was gonna hulk out I guess this is before he became the hulk.
this hit the spot - good stuff , thanks for the upload...enjoyed it !
Bill Bixby Is A GREAT Actor!
