For The Execution File, I did a lengthy anal-ysis of the music, focusing on the scenes where the Rod Stewart song (not sung by him) was used. I actually took the audio from the music scenes in the original broadcast and managed to combine it with the video from the DVD of the show, which was much b...

Ivan, I'm glad we concur on "Woe to Wo Fat". I respect Mike's outstanding site fiveohomepage.com but I think he might have gotten so overwhelmed by the 12th season's too often banal treatment of our Hawaii Five-O that he, like us, didn't at first consider any of the last episode's possible merits. ...

I never read it, but the basics were that people get into to teaching for essentially three reasons, they enjoy a subject, they like working with kids, or they are drawn to the lifestyle of long summers and holidays off. Haha! :D I actually fall into the first and third of those categories. I alway...

The fact that I stumbled into it after being miserable in film/television production, which I studied to pursue, is even more fortunate, I think. You coulda been a contender, you coulda had class, you coulda been a star. Instead of a teacher which is what you are. :wink: :lol: Sorry, couldn't resis...

I hadn't seen the last two seasons of Hawaii Five-O since it went off the air 40 years ago. Thankfully freevee is now running them. I have previously seen the last episode "Death to Wo Fat" in the abbreviated TV package that airs on H & I network, so I am all caught up now after watching the next t...

I'm sure you've heard of the concept of doppelgangers, the idea that there is a "clone" or replica of everyone somewhere on the Earth. Usually they are portrayed as a bad character such as in the Twilight Zone episode "Mirror Image". I have had several weird instances of these encounters, the lates...

I was under the impression that BARETTA was a pretty popular detective show in the 70s and the role Robert Blake is most famous for, even though he already had a major starring role in the film classic IN COLD BLOOD. And I believe Blake even won an Emmy for the Baretta role. So it's baffling that t...

I own the Blu-ray set and the iTunes version. Never rely on streaming for your favorites. Even though I already owned the iTunes I got the Blu-ray set when it became available. Yep, you just can't beat owning a physical copy of something. If calamity strikes and all internet across the country goes...

Doh! I meant DVDs, but they were not available in stores or online retail. You had to order them from Warner Bros. directly and it took a while to get them. They also came in a simple case with a photo of Harry-O on the front and a list of the episodes on the back. Nothing special at all in terms o...

I used to watch reruns with my dad . This would have been the early 80’s so very shortly after it originally aired, as was common for syndication. It was good, I recall, part of the gritty undercover cop genre popular at the time. I clearly remember two things: the opening song and his per Fred, th...

Robert Blake was accused and tried for killing his wife...If I recall correctly, he might have done the crime, but didn't do the time...counter to the Beretta theme song. He was found not guilty in criminal court, but liable for her death...some thought he got off because of his celebrity. He like ...
