Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In 1968, Bruce Lee made a guest appearance on Blondie, a show that lasted for only one season, and now, despite Lee’s fervent fan following, it’s impossible to find that episode. Blondie was never released elsewhere or shown again on TV, so there’s no existing footage of it. It hasn’t been seen since it aired in 1968. Lee was no stranger to shows that only lasted one season.
Since Lee is one of the most iconic figures in history, almost all of his American film and TV appearances are available today, either on home media releases or on streaming services. But his guest appearance in Blondie can’t be found anywhere. Outside of the theme song, very little of the show survives, even on YouTube. It wasn’t popular enough for it to ever be revisited in any way.
Like an earlier 1957 series of the same name, which also only lasted one season, Blondie was adapted from the comic strip created by Chic Young, about a suburban couple raising two precocious children. Cast member Pamelyn Ferdin, who played Cookie on Blondie, wrote in a Facebook post that the show was canceled so abruptly that the cast learned of the cancelation during a lunch break in the middle of filming an episode.
Why Bruce Lee's Blondie Cameo Will Likely Remain Lost Back in the days before digital TV production, when a TV show was unsuccessful – and sometimes, even if it was successful, but it had reached the end of its run – the network would erase all the tapes to free up some space for new shows. In 1971, the BBC was set to erase and reuse all the tapes containing the classic Monty Python’s Flying Circus episodes .
