This was actually a pretty good show. It definitely deserved a second season. Of course, if it had been really successful Connie Sellecca might not worked on Greatest American Hero or Hotel. She seemed to have gotten the most famous out of the three ladies. They were pretty sexy on Flying High. Good times.
I remember our local CBS affiliate (Boston) preempted this for some locally-produced series, and I was mad because it seemed like something I wanted to watch; looking back, doesn’t seem that I missed much.
Isn't it ironic? Bobby Troup had a cameo appearance as a paramedic on this particular episode. Yet, he played Dr. Joe Early, who assisted in mentoring two young paramedics on, "Emergency!"
Back when flying was romanic , you had leg room, you were feed great meals . I remember my sister and me watching this show, don't know what the appeal was, but we like it.
Lillie Rubin, South/Southwest the same wardrobes that were worn by Pat Klous, Kathryn Witt and Connie Selleca were also worn by Mary Hart & Leeza Gibbons during their days on Entertainment Tonight and Terry Murphy during her days on ET's Sister Show Hard Copy
Too bad there's no DVD release dates or any information on the series but I remember watching at least 1 episode of the series I hope that METV will pick up this "gone but not forgotten" series what attracted Me about the show was Connie Sellecca herself she actually did well for herself through out the 1980s after the series went off the air. She appeared on the Greatest American Hero & Hotel afterwards!
Mark Carliner deliberately cast ex-models in the lead roles because he claimed he was more interested in "TV faces" than any actual talent the girls might have had. When he "pitched" the show to CBS executives, Pat, Connie and Kathryn were with him [they went up in an elevator that took them to the executive suite- and calls came from the ground floor before they came out, saying "Buy the elevator!!! You've GOT to buy what's coming up in the elevator!!!"], and read from the pilot script {a CBS executive at that "pitch" meeting said they sounded like "absolute stiffs"}. The network bought the series on the spot....and cancelled it in January 1979, after 15 episodes [three additional episodes were unaired in the U.S.].
Even if talent was a backburner issue to Carliner, those "TV faces" were not idiots. They made it a point to do their research on the subject. Granted, the gamble failed, but Sellecca's foot got far enough into the door that she was able to score two solid hits down the road and Klous eventually made it onto the Love Boat (to which FH clearly looked to be an unneeded answer). Still, at least Flying High didn't attempt to beat anyone over the noggin with any references to either the decade or its indicated mode of transportation, as Supertrain (the NBC answer) did. And the theme was also a lot of fun.
@@fromthesidelines We know that, but what poulson1959 is referring to is the fact that John Hillerman died in 2017 from cardiovascular disease at the age of 84.
When TV was worth watching. If we could only go back. What a nice time it was.
Make America Great Again.

This is the most 70s theme/intro I have ever heard, bar none.
I wish it was on Spotify.

My sister and I liked it, too! But we were 11 and 12.
I was 5 in the fall of 1978 and watched this!
I wish decades would show this

This show caused me to name my daughter "Marci." 😊
Wow...I would love to see this show again...especially the episode about Superstitions...
I vaguely remember this show from my childhood!
And Jerry Mathers as The Beaver!
Check out his toup.
Very clean video.

Barry I. Grauman I was a 7 year old boy at the time I saw this show but I knew they were all hot. Especially Pat Klous

RIP Mr. Hillerman
He went on to "MAGNUM, P.I."........

I wish the episodes were online. Ugh!
@Gildedbutterfly1976 True Sheels or DVD!🤔🤗💽💻
It's got The Bookman from Bedknobs And Broomsticks in it!
Friday nights on CBS.
You don't happen to have any of these episodes do you?
1:32 - The ultra-rare Mark Carliner Productions logo!
Very 70's.
I have to say this is nice but my friend she just kepped me flying hi.x are fun .
Mmmmmm nothing like fine, aged cheese.
And Jerry Mathers as the Beaver ?
Check out the toup on the Beaver.
Taken from the debut episode of that short lived show titled "The Fear Of Cheesecake!"
With an episode title like that... oops.
At least it wasn't Supertrain.
Lol. I never saw this one, but I saw Supertrain last year. Yeah, it was strangely bad although I enjoyed the guest stars.
Beaver?what the hell is Beaver doing there?haha
Ah yes. Back when flight attendants had to be slim & pretty young ladies.
I thought Flying High had Leslie Nielson and Julie Hagerty in it.
That was a movie, but that's not important right now.
That was Airplane. For some reason it was called Flying High in some countries.
@@tami8458 But that's not important wright now
It sounds like this has nothing to do with jazz-organist Cherry Wainer's Flying High album :(
Bad show, but great theme!
Didn’t even last a month
I don't know to give it a thumbs up because I never knew this crap existed or a thumbs down because this crap existed.
If you didn’t know it existed why do you think it’s a crap 💩 ?. It doesn’t make sense.
And Jerry Mathers as The Beaver!
