Linc and the Kernel

[RSS]

A rare photo from the 1972 ABC series "Linc and the Kernel" a detective drama starring

Clarence Williams III

and a young Orville Redenbacher.

While the concept of pairing a street wise cop with a naive corn farmer sounds intriguing, the show was so poorly received that it was yanked mid way through it's pilot episode and replaced with a rerun of "Room 222".

All remaining episodes were immediately destroyed.

I'm guessing it didn't have enough pop?

Even Matt Smith would deny that bow tie.

Bow ties are cool... Plaid pants, eh, not so much....

Those pants look like they're "Fred Mertz Regulation Height"...

I realize certain things that seem silly now were actually fashionable back in the day, but C'MON... did anyone actually think the Kernel looked good? That nerdy combo of bow tie with long collared shirt, high-rise plaid pants sucking in that tight shirt over a shapeless body seem to transcend any context time might provide. I can't help but feel the urge to steal that guy's lunch money.
