Holmes & Yo-Yo

Total Seasons: 1
Production Cost: $40,000 Per Episode (Depending on Inflation)
Getting the perfect duo on stage is the dream of every tv network, as this will get the viewers tuned in. Take, for instance, the likes of Cagney & Lacey and Starsky & Hutch, they are the perfect matches that always attract people. If the production is done right, it could be a movie living through history. However, even though this was the dream for Holmes & Yo-Yo, it didn’t quite reach the mark everyone was looking for. ABC was hoping the twist YoYo would help bring off what the comedy show didn’t manage to give.
Holmes And Yo Yo
The series, from the get-go, was an imminent disaster but somehow made a mark in attracting a few people. However, it wasn’t up to the standard ABC was hoping for. Sadly, Holmes & Yo-Yo made it to numerous lists, including TV Guide’sList of the Worst 50 Shows of All Time.
The Brothers Brannagan
Star Actors: Stephen Dunne, Mark Roberts, Barney Phillips
Released: September 24, 1960
Total Seasons: 1
Production Cost: Unknown
We have to give a little credit to the production team of The Brothers Brannagan for pulling off a fairly good show with a meager budget. The show’s plot featured two brothers, Mike and Bob, who had a passion for solving crimes whenever they came their way. It wasn’t a “new kid” on the block as many other shows had a similar setting – this may have been the major reason for its short run.
The Brothers Brannagan
Stephen Dunne and Mark Roberts managed to run 39 episodes over a few months during the early stages of the 1960s. It didn’t hit so popular like many other shows, but it was a great show nonetheless. However, if the production team had managed to stretch the budget a little further, there could have been more episodes or maybe more seasons – who knows?
