The Second Hundred Years aired from September 1967 until September 1968 on ABC.
In the year 1900 Luke Carpenter ( Monte Markham), 33, bid farewell to his wife and his infant son Edwin and set out to prospect for gold in Alaska. He was lost in a glacier slide. Sixty-seven years later , by some freak of nature, Luke thawed out, revived, and was brought to the home of his now aging son Edwin ( Arthur O'Connell), in Woodland Oaks, California. Chronologically Luke was 101, but he hadn't aged while in deep freeze and was physiologically still 33-younger than his own son.
In fact he was younger in spirit, at least, than his 33-year-old grandson Ken, who was his exact look-alike ( Both parts were played by Monte Markham). Ken was stuffy and conservative, while Luke was ebullient, full of fun, and a rugged individualist.
The comedy centered both on the contrast between them and on Luke's problems in adapting to the modern world, while his origin was kept a military secret ( Col. Garroway played by Frank Maxwell, was an army doctor who was assigned to look after him). The first thing Luke had seen on awakening in Edwin's home was a 1967 TV set with what appeared to be little people aiming guns at him. He applied his simple, individualistic ways to the problems of the 20th century with some success, though he never could get used to a modern job. Also featured on the series were Bridget Hanley as Nurse Anderson and Karen Black ( in one of her first TV roles) as Garroway's hippie daughter, Marcia.
Harry Ackerman was the executive producer and Bob Claver the producer for Screen Gems.
