Sept. 19, 1964 - On tonight’s series premiere of “Flipper,” Bud Ricks (Tommy Norden) plays catch with Flipper the dolphin, teaching him how to retrieve items from the ocean floor. An SOS comes through — Bill Darmon (William Traylor) has been attacked by a shark and needs blood urgently. Porter Ricks (Brian Kelly) contacts the Coast Guard to arrange the blood delivery before going out with Bud to rescue Bill. The helicopter arrives but, during the transfer, the blood is lost overboard. A number of attempts are made to retrieve it before Flipper comes to the rescue. 7:30 p.m. on NBC.
