Route 66 on DVD. Finally, we get to cruise America with Tod (Martin Milner) and Buzz (George Marahis).What can I say to convince you it's a `60s B&W series worth watching? Well, the vette is one thing, but it never overshadows the stories. Despite all the adventure, travelogue, drama and poetry this duo gets into, the real subject of the series was the human condition. Tod and Buz acted as observers and mentors to broken-down prizefighters and rodeo clowns, sadists and iron-willed matrons, surfers and heiresses, runaway kids and people from all walks of life, forced by circumstances to confront their demons.While we may only get Route 66 Season 1 in Volumes 1 and 2 as some reviewers have indicated, this is what we have to look forward to in the first year (October 1960 to June 1961):Episode 1 -- "Black November" -- Car trouble strands Tod and Buz in a small town with a terrible secret.Episode 2 -- "A Lance of Straw" -- Tod and Buz sign on to crew a shrimp boat, despite the objections of the female captain's boyfriend.Episode 3 -- "The Swan Bed" -- Tod and Buz meet a girl in New Orleans during a parrot fever epidemic.Episode 4 -- "The Man on the Monkey Board" -- Tod and Buz meet a Nazi-hunter and his quarry on an offshore oil rig.Episode 5 -- "The Strengthening Angels" -- Tod and Buz try to help a migrant worker who is in trouble with the local sheriff.Episode 6 -- "Ten Drops of Water" -- Devastated by drought, three orphaned ranchers need Tod, Buz and the Corvette.Episode 7 -- "Three Sides" (aka Three Sides of a Coin) -- Tod and Buz get involved in family strife while working for an Oregon hop farmer.Episode 8 -- "Legacy for Lucia" -- While working at a logging camp, Tod and Buz meet a girl from Italy, who insists she has inherited the state of Oregon from a local man.Episode 9 -- "Layout at Glen Canyon" -- Tod and Buz act as bodyguards to fashion models at the Glen Canyon Dam construction site.Episode 10 -- "The Beryllium Eater" -- Tod and Buz help an old prospector stake his claim after he finds beryllium ore.Episode 11 -- "A Fury Slinging Flame" -- Tod and Buz meet a scientist (Leslie Nielsen) who intends to hide in Carlsbad Caverns with friends until an expected nuclear holocaust is over.Episode 12 -- "Sheba" -- Tod and Buz work as cowboys for Woody Biggs (Lee Marvin), who isn't done with the woman he sent to prison.Episode 13 -- "The Quick and the Dead" -- Tod becomes a race car driver as he and Buz get involved in a family controversy over whether an aging driver should retire.Episode 14 -- "Play It Glissando" --Tod and Buz try to protect a woman from her jazz musician husband.Episode 15 -- "The Clover Throne" -- Tod and Buz work for a date farmer (Jack Warden) who fights the highway department while he "waits out" his sexy ward, hoping she will marry him.Episode 16 --"Fly Away Home (Part 1)" -- Tod becomes a crop duster for a struggling company.Episode 17 -- "Fly Away Home (Part 2)" -- Tod and Buz get involved in a quandary over an extra-dangerous crop dusting contract.Episode 18 -- "Sleep on Four Pillows" -- Tod and Buz meet a teenage girl who claims to be on the run from gangsters - but her family thinks she has been kidnapped.Episode 19 -- "An Absence of Tears" -- Tod and Buz try to protect a blind widow from her husband's murderers.Episode 20 -- "Like a Motherless Child" -- Buz and Tod split up over whether to return a runaway boy to an orphanage.Episode 21 -- "Effigy in Snow" -- Tod and Buz try to stop a murderer who has left his latest victim in the snow at Squaw Valley.Episode 22 -- "Eleven, the Hard Way" -- Tod and Buz meet a gambler (Walter Matthau), whom the people of Broken Knee have asked to save their town.Episode 23 -- "Most Vanquished, Most Victorious" -- At the request of his aunt, Tod traces the life of his saintly cousin through the Los Angeles slums.Episode 24 -- "Don't Count Stars" -- Tod and Buz get involved in a custody case over a 9-year-old heiress and her drunken, gambling "uncle."Episode 25 -- "The Newborn" -- Tod and Buz protect a Native American girl and her newborn from their employer, who rules the land like a feudal baron.Episode 26 -- "A Skill for Hunting" -- Tod and Buz are framed as poachers after Tod interferes with a real poacher's hunting.Episode 27 -- "Trap at Cordova" -- Tod and Buz are coerced into teaching school children in rural New Mexico.Episode 28 -- "The Opponent" -- Buz visits and inspires his boyhood hero, a former boxing great (Darren McGavin) who is now on the skids.Episode 29 -- "Welcome to Amity" -- Tod and Buz meet a woman (Susan Oliver), who wants to bury her mother in a nearby cemetery.

Hitch a ride and relive these nostalgic vignettes of America and Americans. It's a great trip!POST-SCRIPT (31 Oct. 2007):I concur with subsequent reviewers, regarding the audio-video transfer quality to this DVD set. It could be better. Although the video is too dark, the brightness and contrast can be adjusted from your system. Audio varies from episode to episode, and I would have thought with today's technology this could have been improved. It is a pity because the packaging of this boxed set is well done. The menu of episodes, commercials and bio-film background are nice touches to a great, great series. Does this mean I regret buying this DVD set? Not one iota, considering its the best thing out there at the moment. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get Your Kicks on Route 66 *by J***D on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2008* I became hooked on this tv series when I saw it in syndication in the 1980's during late night. It became my comfort show when they took "Name of the Game" off the late night grid. Now it is finally available on DVD with no commercial interruptions. As an extra, some of the commercials are shown separatly as "Bonus Features". This tv series premiered on CBS-TV, October 7, 1960. Martin Milner as "Tod Stiles" and George Maharis as "Buz Murdock". Two young men who travel across the country on Route 66 in a blue Corvette. They travel from town to city with each episode a story of its own. The young men try to help people they meet. They don't always stay on Route 66. Sometimes they go off the beaten path and into the backwoods too. They manage to get a job anywhere they go (now that really is the 1960's), even out to sea. Their life is carefree and they follow no schedule. Just trying to find a place to fit in. "Route 66" theme conducted by Nelson Riddle. October 7, 1960 - January 7, 1961 (Episodes 1 -15) Locations: Episode 1: Concord, Kentucky. Episode 2: Grand Isle, Louisiana. Episode 3: New Orleans, Louisiana. Episode 4: Demage, Venice, Louisiana. Episode 5: Needles, Point Hueneme, California. Episode 6: Kanab, Kansas. Episode 7: Grants Pass, Oregon. Episode 8: Merlin, Oregon. Episode 9: Glen Canyon, Page, Arizona. Episode 10: Eureka, Arizona. Episode 11: Carlsbad caverns National Park, New Mexico. Episode 12: El Paso, Texas. Episode 13: Riverside, California. Episode 14: Malibu, California. Episode 15: Indio, California.

If you play that episode as itself, without "Play All", you shouldn't have a problem. You also get a cast biography. Say you recognize a character actor. You know the face, but can't place the name. Gosh, it's on the tip of your tongue. Now you will on "cast bios" with the help of a little film clip, actor's name and chartacter name plus a list of other selected movies the actor has been in.

I jump on old US ROUTE 66 where ever I can still find a stretch of it when vacationing in AZ. Not much left open to traffic but Seligman and Williams AZ are great distinations to cruise US Route 66. Perhaps like other "baby boomers", who watched this popular TV series back in the 60s, a couple of my best friends and I too had our visions of packing up and hitting the road in a 'vette' or whatever. Should you have an interest in stepping back in time then I believe you will enjoy the 'route 66' TV episodes on this DVD set of 4. I find these episodes very interesting now that I am much older and understand the stories more being able to see more of what the writer's perspective might have been on the issues of the time, e.g. 60s. It would be great if the entertainment world would do a remake. Despite comments by some who have said to me that there's too much violence lots of good life lessons are tucked into these episodes. I have no significant complaints about the quality of the DVD set (4) Season 1. Vol 1 even though as some reviews have indicated it would have been nice if available technologies could have been used more to enhanced the crispness of the images and sound a bit. Hey I have wanted to view 'route 66' episodes for a while but had been reluctant to buy until I saw it advertised on Amazon.com . "I consider this DVD A-OK ." I was satisfied so much I just purchased another DVD set of 'route 66' the entire second season episodes, which is a bit better media wise than the Season 1. Vol 1. By the way I would have given this 4 and one-half stars but I made an honest mistake and was unable to edit rating. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2107383-route-66-season-1-vol-1](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2107383-route-66-season-1-vol-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
