"Who am I?"

Those of a certain age might remember this short-lived TV series from the mid-1960s, about a man fished out of the East River with no memory of his name or his past. The only thing he even vaguely remembers is a single phrase—"Coronet Blue"—and the fact that someone wants him dead.

Taking the name Michael Alden, he begins searching for his past, discovering along the way that he has unexpected talents: he speaks several languages fluently, he knows how to fight & handle weapons, he's clearly well-educated. And he finds new friends to help him: Max, owner of a coffeehouse called The Searching i, and Anthony, a former monk who is also searching for himself in his own way.

The series only lasted 13 episodes, and even a couple of those were never aired. CBS sat on it for over a year, tossed it into their summer schedule as a last-minute replacement, only to find that people reacted positively to it. But by the then the actors had long since found other jobs, and what might have become a long-running series was nipped in the bud.

It was released on DVD just 2-3 years ago, and it's a pleasure to see once more. Part of the fun is spotting future stars before they were famous. It works both as a spy/suspense series, and also as a more existential series about finding one's true self, a major theme in 1960s culture.

Anyone else remember it?
