LA Observed's post on hip 60s TV show "77 Sunset Strip" (pointing out its Monday night airings on the AmericanLife TV cable channel, now available on Time Warner Cable) reminded me of the plaque (above) in the sidewalk near 8524 Sunset Blvd., close to the fictional office of the private eyes played by Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. and Roger Smith.
LA Observed quotes an IMDB.com commenter: "77 SUNSET STRIP was so cool that the breeze from the show could air condition your living room every Friday night from 1958--1964. This series had it all: two cool private detectives, gumshoe intrigue against the backdrop of Hollywood environs, a bee-bop-speaking parking lot attendant who became an overnight teen sensation, and not to be forgotten---one of the sexiest musical scores ever."
