Episode 01.01 Golden Boy Had 9 Black Sheep

Teaser to the first episode Sept of 1964. Introduces Joe Gallagher who later takes over in Season 2. A great episode flavored from the original movie. This episode introduces Savage as a tough as nails Group Commander as seen in the movie. He has no patience for goof-offs or slackers. Since many themes were borrowed from the movie itself, this episode serves as a beginning to the entire saga. It does not pick up off where the movie ended, a scene where Savage has a breakdown and is frozen in his chair until his group returns home.

This episode doesn't cover the relieving of Keith Davenport as the commander of the 918th, nor does it explain why a General is in charge of a group when a Colonel is quite capable for the command. The beloved Harvey Stoval returns played by Frank Overton.

Although broadcast first, this episode was actually filmed after 01.02 "Follow the Leader".

Anyway his episode is a great start to the series...

Finally the 12 O'Clock High TV Blog

12 O'Clock High has been a favorite show of mine since the mid 60s when there were only 3 TV stations. Since that time I frantically searched my TV guide to see some kind of syndication of the TV series. It seems the series was destined to fade into obscurity.

It only appeared once in the early 70s on a local public TV channel. I often wondered why it appeared on a public TV channel and not on an ABC affiliate...?

It wasn't till the early 2000's it resurfaced unedited on the GoodLife Network digital cable. I guess it wasn't much of a surprise to discover the stories still held up!

Years later after seeing and hearing about horrible knock offs of the show, I decided to spend the money and 3 years and make it right. This site http://www.12oclockhighTV.com celebrates the great stories of the 8th AF and honors the men who gallantly gave their lives for freedom!

Enjoy!
