Help with the name of a very old TV Series
It was about two guys working on big construction sites or road construction. I think one character was the Foreman and the other a worker of some type.

B&W best guess is late 1950's or very early 1960's. Watched when I was a kid and can't for the life of me remember the name.

Thanks,

1. You should post this in the Lounge.
I was having a terrible time coming up with the name of a movie that I saw when I was in junior high, more than forty years ago. It took them a couple of days, but someone did come up with it for me.

BTW, it was Bridge to the Sun. And it is not available through Netflix! Darn!

I can't help you with this one, although a few more clues might help others who can help you. Good luck. This sort of thing can be maddening.

2. Thanks for the reply
I wish I had a few more clues to offer. I just remember it being about construction with what I remember being heavy road building equipment and a couple of characters.

3. Only thing I can think of ...



... the guys of "Route 66" would take various temp jobs now and then on their travels.

It wouldn't be that would it?

4. Search wikipedia TV schedules
Here's 59-60. You'll find links to other seasons.

5. Sherman. Did you figure it out yet? I think you are just
mistaken. Unless it was just one episode of a show.
Sky King? 77 Sunset Strip. Route 66. Mr. Ed. There were many shows but none about construction workers.
Highway Patrol. Mostly cowboy shows.

8. Yep. That's it.
John Astin and Marty Ingels. I remember that show, and I was very young then.
