ON this date in 1969 - The TV movie "Marcus Welby" was seen on ABC-TV.

It was later turned into a series.

Bun Man and Mr. Purple wrote many scripts for the show as they enjoyed exploring the generation gap between Drs. Welby and Kiley and their 'different' approaches to medicine.

This was a time when you actually thought TV doctors knew their 'shit' as opposed to today's OZ-LAND TV.
