77 Sunset Strip
The show was created by Roy Huggins. Huggins later dreamed up such classic television shows as 'The Rockford Files', 'Alias Smith and Jones', "Maverick", and 'The Fugitive'.
On '77 Sunset Strip', former OSS officer Stu Bailey (Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.) and former undercover agent Jeff Spencer (Roger Smith) were the hip, swinging, martini swilling private eyes that worked out of their office located at 77 Sunset Boulevard.
Their brand-new sports cars shared a driveway with a swinging nightspot called Dino's.
Parking the cars at Dino's was Gerald Lloyd Kookson II, aka "Kookie" (Edd Byrnes) who snapped his fingers in beatnick style all the way to genuine teen idol status.

Edd Byrnes, the up-and-comer on 77 Sunset Strip, can't quite figure it out, either. "People ask me why I want to be an actor, and I'll say it's because I want a crazy pad and let's live, man," he tells TV Guide. "Then they say, how do I like it now that I'm here, and I'll say, OK, I've got it made and it's miserable."
