I fully agree with 'lazur-2' and his or her review. Of the several "Fitness" shows on early L.A. television, Jack LaLanne's was indeed the best. I'm one of MILLIONS of Baby-Boomers whose Moms turned on Ol' Jack's Show every weekday morning. In fact, what you see in the "Peter Gunn" outing was not only a pleasant surprise, it looks as though the "Gunn" people actually went to the TV studio where Mr. LaLanne did his 5-day a week program.
As for the rather snide review by John T. Ryan, YOU MISSPELLED MR. LALANNE'S NAME THROUGHOUT YOUR ENTIRE REVIEW!!
Other than that, almost NONE of your readers are named Schultz! But you did get your facts straight.
Mr. LaLanne did indeed live to a ripe old age, and starting (I believe) on his 80th Birthday, he would celebrate by towing a SHIP across Los Angeles Harbor by putting the ship's tow-line BETWEEN HIS TEETH AND SWIMMING ACROSS THE HARBOR! This would be covered by every TV Station in town, along with the newspapers and even the National and International Wire Services!!!
