Classic Television - Prime Time

The Delphi Bureau
Original channel
ABC
Original run
October 5, 1972 – 1973
Starring
Laurence Luckinbill
The Delphi Bureau is an American dramatic television series aired in the United States by ABC as one of three elements of The Men, a wheel series shown as part of its 1972-73 schedule.

The Delphi Bureau starred Laurence Luckinbill as Glenn Garth Gregory, a man with a photographic memory, whose obscure United States Government "agency" ostensibly did obscure research for the President of the United States. Its actual role was counter-espionage and its main operative was Gregory, whose liaison with the group's unnamed superiors was Sybil Van Lowreen (Anne Jeffreys), a Washington D.C. society hostess. (Celeste Holm had played Sybil Van Lowreen in the series' pilot film.)

A framing design for each episode involved a limerick, a single new line of which was added for each segment of the show, until the entire limerick was completed in the final segment.

So You Think You Can Dance is just at the beginning of its latest season and still in the audition rounds. Usually interest picks up for the show once the finalists are announced and the competition begins in earnest. But last night an 18-year-old contemporary dancer named Ricky Ubeda made a very strong impression during his audition and we can’t wait to see more of him.

No doubt we will. After the performance Nigel Lythgoe commented that he thought Ricky could “go all the way.”

Check out Ubeda’s performance for yourself!
