Obscure Series of the Week,Rags to Riches.
(R)In this short lived 1980's T.V. series set in the early sixties Joseph Bolonga, whoever the hell he is,played Nick Foley(not the wrestler),a millionaire playboy,sans batsuit and crime fighting equiptment. In order to obtain a more family man image,Foley adopted 6 orphan girls one of them being future Just the Ten of Us star and hideous mutant freak Heidi Zeigler.Rounding out the cast was Clapper the butler.Unfortunately or maybe fortunately the series was cancelled in it's second season, and rarely rerun.In short think Annie with more girls and an even creepier Daddy Warbucks.

Obscure Series of the Week
For the return of an old favorite(or actually not so favorite,everyone seemed to ignore these posts
over at the myspace)we have Rober Blake's short lived,I mean really short lived 1985 series
Hell Town.In it Blake played Noah "Hardstep" Rivers,
a Catholic priest at a church in a crime-ridden neighborhood on the east side of
Los Angeles(Think "Father Dowling Mysterys" with drugs booze and hookers).
The series also feated Whitman"Grady" Mayo and a hip jazzy theme by former Ratpacker and Cannonball
Run star Sammy Davis Jr.For some reason the show just didn't last.Perhaps it was the Priest
Show curse(more on this later).After only a few episodes the last episode aired on Dececember 25th 1985.
Enjoy(R)
