The last round-up for a classic team (?) (The Life & Times of Grizzly Adams, 1977)

This one's for Hal Horn over at The Horn Section:

From season 2 of The Life & Times of Grizzly Adams:

Adams (Dan Haggerty) & Mad Jack (Denver Pyle) meet a pair of bumbling gold prospectors in "Gold is Where You Find It". Forrest Tucker & Larry Storch (ex-F-Troop, Ghost Busters) team for what was probably the final time.



I remember seeing this one at home with the parents, and getting a few laughs.

Rating: A.

Many thanks; one of the most enjoyable episodes of that series for me, obviously.

It wasn't the last roundup, though: just three weeks after this episode aired (11/23/17) Tucker and Storch were together again for the TV Movie THE INCREDIBLE ROCKY MOUNTAIN RACE, with Christopher Connelly as Mark Twain, Tucker playing his rival Mike Fink, and Storch as the Native American named Eagle Feather. Both aired on NBC.

And filmed in 1978, but for some reason not aired until the summer of 1981, Tucker and Storch played the Duke and Dauphin for another version of THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN, a TV movie. I think that was actually their final teaming on TV.

I remember the Incredible Rocky Mountain Race, Hal. Think that was also from the producers of Grizzly Adams, IIRC. Saw part of that, and we'll have that up another day if I can find it. The Huck Finn movie I didn't know about. Have to look for that, too. Thanks for the 411.
