The Top 3 Alternative TV Search Engines
For the uninitiated, The Avengers was a stylish blend of espionage and science fiction that appealed to those who enjoyed witty, slightly off-beat humor. While this British show acquired quite a following back in the late sixties, it has been kept alive as a cult favorite by the baby-boomers who grew up with it - like me.
Airing from 1961-1969, The Avengers became one of the most popular TV series of all time. Much of the show’s popularity was due to the pairing of Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg as secret agents John Steed and Emma Peel.
We started out with high hopes of finding 10 TV Search Engines - not Video clips or TV show directories, and it can’t be done, so here are three we like - in no particular order. They must be able to find this TV show to qualify, and ideally the episode “House that Jack Built” - just to make it interesting.
#1 - Couchville House That Jack Built Airdate: March 05, 1966. Episode Description: In the country to inspect a house she inherited, Emma is trapped in a giant machine built for revenge.
#2 - TV.com The House That Jack Built: Community Score 8.9 - Great. Emma inherits some property from her deceased Uncle Jack. The property is a very bizaarre house, and when Emma finds herself trapped in a labyrinth of psychological torture.
#3 LocateTV
