Can anyone name this show? I can't! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In the late 1960's or early 1970's there was a show about a man who had been lost in the mountains and froze. Some how he was either found and thawed or he just thawed out and was still alive. He returns and finds his son ho now looks much oldfer than the Mountain Man. It seems the weekly plots surrounded that issue and the perdicaments the two would get in and out of.

Ring a bell to anyone? I can't name the two main actors although I would certainly know them if I saw them. I think the actor who played the son (the orlder looking man of the two) many times played a college president in some Disney comedies. Maybe the Flubber movies or "The Computer Wore Tennise shoes." he may have also been in some of the Don Knotts movies like "the Ghost and Mr. Chicken."

The actor how played the frozen father, (the younger of the two actors) was a big, rugged guy with thick brown hair.

This thing has been driving me crazy for weeks.....Help!

Is this by any chance "The Second Hundred Years"? I remember that very vaguely as a late 60s show that ran very briefly. I only remember one scene where they're in a bar and the father says "We saw the old century out and the new one in!" and people turn their heads.

Not sure of the actors but the name Monte Markham is in my head??

If Joe Flynn hadn't thrown me off course, I would've been able to provide the answer. He wasn't in this series but Monte Markham was along with Arthur O'Connell.

So I guessed right? It's scary what you can remember off the top of your head sometimes...
