Surfside 6 Tidbits
Surfside 6 was one the mix and match detective stories from Warner Brothers. Troy Donahue moved straight from Surfside 6 toHawaiian Eye. Van WIlliams’ character Ken Madison had moved over from the cancelled Bourbon Street Beat, which occupied the same timeslot the year before.
The gimmick here was that the detectives lived and worked on a houseboat across from the Fountainbleau Hotel on Miami Beach.
Docked next to them was the luxury yacht of socialite Daphne Dutton (Diane McBain) and Cha Cha entertained in the Boom Boom Room at the hotel.
