I think the same bloke did Gilligans Island and a few other shows, cant remember his name.

Thought I'd seen his name in many shows over the years, but didn't realise just how prodigious his output had been until more of a look.

Among others, he was responsible for The A Team, Greatest American Hero, 21 Jump Street, Santa Barbara, Wiseguy, Adam-12, The Commish, Hardcastle and McCormick and many others.

Reg Grundy was similar in Australia, especially in the game show field, with Sale of The Century, Price is Right , Blankety Blanks, Its a Knockout, Perfect Match, as well as many soaps, such as Sons and Daughters and Prisoner.

Would be interested to hear about others who have been trailblazers with TV over the years.

He was a cop, and good at his job. But then he committed the ultimate sin and testified against other cops - gone bad. Cops who tried to kill him, but got the woman he loved instead. Framed for murder, now he prowls the badlands. An outlaw hunting outlaws, a bounty hunter - a RENEGADE!

Also did The Brady Bunch...

One of the biggest showrunners at the moment is an Australian called Shanne Brennan. He runs the NCIS franchise. Got so disillusioned with the Australian industry he had a crack at LA.
