kookielendmeyourcomb Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Funny, I was signing up AGAIN, after taking a hiatus, and the phrase just jumped into my head....there you have it, I adored Ed Byrnes...he was gorgeous when I was a teen. But I was talking to others, and I guess I never really thought about it.....half the people I know never ever heard of "77 Sunset Strip", Kookie, his hair, or his comb. Nothing else, just thought it was interesting. And it's a quiet Sunday, and I seem to be on a writing messages roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solajijic Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I have liked your name. Thanks for letting me know where it originated. I don't know who you are and stopped trying to figure out who was who on handles because at one point I realized it was better not to know.

valbogyo Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I like the name, too. Always makes me smile and caused me to google the phrase, trying to figure out the origin. Another excuse to avoid house cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing else, just thought it was interesting. And it's a quiet Sunday, and I seem to be on a writing messages roll. I remember Kookie and his comb well. I loved him too. There was even a song that had the line "Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb." Here's the video of him with Connie Stevens on American Bandstand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT9QZBGyXjU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 I have been downloading episodes of 77 Sunset Strip. I cannot find ep. 1, but ep. 2 clearly showed how different the show was when it first started. Ed Byrnes was barely in the show; he was originally the valet at the place. And the opening shots of the street traffic are amazing, as they show how seriously unbusy the area was compared to years later. And Efrem Zimbalist Jr. was actually acting, something he decided was not necessary when he took on a later role in The FBI TV series. What a hoot. This was the coolest show around. Question: did 77 Sunset Strip spawn Route 66, or the other way around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jistme Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Kookie, it begs the question "Where are they now?" Peggy Lipton was the blonde who made up the trio, can't remember the black guys name, are they all still acting, or have they gone on to the 'Happy Hunting Ground" ? Maybe Oprah knows!

Maybe Oprah knows! peggy Lipton was in the Mod Squad not 77 Sunset Strip. She was married to Quncy Jones, music producer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Peggy Lipton was the love interest in a huge political scandal in '09. Michael Cole still does the odd bit of acting and has all his hair. Clarence Williams III went on to star in various schlocko movies, but with age became a fairly respected actor in movies and TV. He's even in the new movie The Butler, but I last saw him the the TV series Memphis Beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Ed Byrnes so much....had such a crush as a kid....my dad actually took me to Warner Bros (we lived in L.A., stars at stoplights, supermarkets, wherever....common as people in the biz)...to meet him and have lunch in the commissary. I thought I'd gone to heaven. But the Mod Squad was pretty great. Thanks for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
