''Follow the Sun'' is an American drama series which ran for thirty episodes on the ABC television network from September 17, 1961, through April 8, 1962. ==Synopsis== ''Follow the Sun'' stars Brett Halsey and Barry Coe in the roles of Honolulu-based free-lance magazine writers Paul Templin and Ben Gregory, respectively. Gary Lockwood plays their 20-year-old researcher Eric Jason, who was, according to the story line, born on December 7, 1941 (Pearl Harbor Day). In reality, Lockwood was born on February 21, 1937, and was hence nearly five years older than the character he played. Gigi Perreau played Katherine Ann "Kathy" Richards, the pretty secretary, and Jay Lanin was Lieutenant Frank Roper, the writers' friend on the police force. Lockwood's success on ''Follow the Sun'' propelled him thereafter to the role of William T. "Bill" Rice in ''The Lieutenant'', a program about the peacetime United States Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton, which aired on NBC during the 1963-1964 season.〔("The Lieutenant" (1963) )〕 ''Follow the Sun'' is somewhat similar in theme and tone to Rod Taylor's ''Hong Kong'' (1960-1961) and Robert Conrad's ''Hawaiian Eye'' (1959-1963). Taylor's role as Glenn Evans, a foreign correspondent, could have fit in with the writers on ''Follow the Sun'' who also got involved in detective work—just like the ''Hawaiian Eye'' cast.〔("Follow the Sun" (1961) )〕 ''Follow the Sun'' faced stiff competition at 7:30 Eastern time on Sunday evenings from CBS's ''Dennis the Menace'' with Jay North and the first half of ''The Ed Sullivan Show'', as well as NBC's ''Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color''.〔1961-1962 Television Network Schedule〕 Though the program ran for only one shortened season, there were comic books which featured Halsey, Coe, and Lockwood. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Follow the Sun (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
