Route 66, on NBC
IMDb; TV Tango; Wikipedia

This ran for just four episodes, from June 8 to July 6, 1993.

There was a series on CBS in the 60s, but I never saw that, what with being born in 1975, and all. However, there was a remake (or a sequel) in 1993, which ran for only four episodes. It was about a couple of guys who got ahold of this classic sports car or whatever, and decided to start traveling cross country, having adventures or whatever. I dunno. I feel like I probably kind of liked the show, but I don't actually remember anything specific about it except that one of the stars was Dan Cortese (who I would later see in some other shows that lasted longer than this). But I knew him before this show mainly for appearing in a series of Burger King commercials. I think he was vaguely famous even before that, though probably not for anything with which I was familiar. Maybe he was on MTV or something. Anyway, I remember in the early 90s thinking he was pretty cool, probably largely because of the "BK TeeVee" commercials. Which you are quite justified in laughing about, but... do some research on YouTube, okay? And try to remember I was in my early teens. And it was the 90s. None of this has anything to do with "Route 66," but who cares? The BK ads were more memorable, anyway. Though I probably also thought Cortese was cool in the show. (Whether I'd think that if I saw the show now, I have my doubts.)

Note: I originally had this listed in my too something section, but moved it when I reorganized the summer series section in 2024.
