The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams
Has there ever been a DL thread about this mildly campy late '70s TV show? Does there even need to be? There were only 38 episodes, according to Wikipedia, but I recall it airing a lot in syndication in the early '80s. It was sort of a weird mix between Little House on the Prairie and Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom.
Dan Haggerty was kind of a hot bear -- although with that mane of his, maybe lion would be more appropriate?

My grandmother's two favorite shows beside her soap( Days Of Our Lives) were Little House On The Prairie and Grizzly Adams.

Dan Haggerty had a great face and body. Why did he keep that beard when Grizzly Adams only lasted for a year?

R3- In the 1970's he was a really FIT bear.

I think it used to show in syndicated repeats on Sunday afternoons. My dad would watch it sometimes. I was little but I remember liking the theme song and the animals. This was 1980-ish, just before cable TV, and so you literally had like 4-5 channels to choose from and that was it! Weird to think about now.

I loved this as a tiny kid too. I can't imagine kids today liking this. Or Rockford Files or any of the slow shit I used to watch. I want to make a Youtube channel of kids reacting to all of these old shows.

R5- It's also weird that you had to walk over to the tv to change the channel and there was no mute button so one had to endure the commercials- which were not as torturous back then.

In 1980 he appeared in an episode of Charlie’s Angels as a post-hippy drug using kidnapper.

From his wiki page ! !
[quote] In 1977, his beard caught fire from shooting back a flaming cocktail.

He was one of my first celebrity crushes when I was a boy. I was never enamoured of the smooth young guys, always the beefy hairy ones.

He was an acquired taste.

He was a g-damn JAILBIRD! Busted buying cocaine in 1985 and tossed in the slammer.

(R11) If you had some crack and looked good in a dress in the late 1990s, Ol' Dan might have stuck his semi flaccid manhood up your ass. Ol' Dan had a huge crack habit. He was notorious among Hollywood blvd. crack- trannie- prostitutes who hung out at the Spotlight Bar. Ol' Dan would check into the fleabag Mark Twain Hotel for days at a time. He'd never leave except to pick up crack-bearing Trannies roaming the streets and alleyways close to the bar. I finagled my way into his room with a couple of rocks + red lipstick, a filmy top, tons of mascara, and a tragically coquettish demeanor. I loved his Mountain Man persona but by the time I got him alone in a room he had gone from Grizzley Addams to broke Hollywood has-been Hillbilly. He had scraggly hair with a bright red nose, pimples on his chest and back + the aforementioned semi-flaccid dick. BTW I'm not trans or even a transvestite. I found my sex niche as a nelly, Mic Jaggerish he-bitch with flair.

He was one of the bodybuilders (Biff) in "Muscle Beach Party" with Don Rickles.
