===''Route 66''=== [[File:Martin Milner George Maharis Route 66 sign.jpg|thumb|Milner ''(left)'' and [[George Maharis]] in ''[[Route 66 (TV series)|Route 66]]'' publicity still, 1962]] In 1960, Milner was cast as [[Tod Stiles]] on the television series ''[[Route 66 (TV series)|Route 66]]'', which ran from 1960 to 1964. Created by [[Stirling Silliphant]], ''Route 66'' is about two regular but distinctly different young men in a car touring the United States. After the sudden death of his father left him penniless, save for a new Chevrolet Corvette, Milner's character travels across the United States in the Corvette, taking a variety of odd jobs along the way and getting involved in other people's problems. His traveling partner on his escapades is his friend Buz Murdock (played by [[George Maharis]]), a former employee of his father's. During the series' third season, [[Glenn Corbett]] replaced Maharis, who claimed he was ill with hepatitis but later verified he wanted to break away to pursue other career opportunities.<ref name="THR"/><ref name="LAT"/><ref name="Dagan"/> The show never regained its audience appeal with Corbett and was cancelled after a year. ''Route 66'' was shot on location, so Milner spent nearly four years traveling the US for the series, sometimes taking his wife and children along.<ref name="LAT"/> Milner appeared on Broadway once in the short-lived comedy ''The Ninety Day Mistress'' in 1967.<ref name="NYT">{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/08/arts/television/martin-milner-dies-at-83-actor-made-his-name-on-route-66.html|title=Martin Milner, Clean-Cut Star of 'Route 66' and 'Adam-12,' Dies at 83|first=Anita|last=Gates|work=[[The New York Times]]|date=September 7, 2015|access-date=June 8, 2017}}</ref>
