Re: Doppelgangers from the original cast!

The only things that I can add to this thread are: 1. About 20+ years ago, a student of mine was reading a preview of the upcoming college football season in the magazines that used to do that about various sports. He came up to my desk and showed me a photo of an assistant coach for a team that I d...

Re: Has anyone ever seen BARETTA?

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...

Re: Transitions (8.11)

charybdis, Thank you - or should I say 'ta' - for your most enlightening post! I'm so glad an excellent actor like John Hillerman put in the hard work getting the accent right. By the way I think Hillerman would have been a hoot as yet another of Higgin's half brothers, an ocker from beyond the bla...

Re: Has anyone ever seen BARETTA?

Ah ok. I was wondering if maybe they were somehow able to burn those episodes onto CD's back in the day. But I think you still needed DVD's for that. Was this in the late 90s when Columbia House was offering various shows on VHS tapes? I remember being super excited when I saw that KNIGHT RIDER was...

Re: Has anyone ever seen BARETTA?

Yep, I think HARRY-O is certainly less known or less remembered than BARETTA but even that one popped up on the Decades binge and on YouTube (complete episodes). David Janssen's main claim to fame was THE FUGITIVE. HARRY-O was the more obscure show. For Blake BARETTA seemed to be his signature work...

Re: Question about Magnum's bracelet/clasp thingy?

Ok, thanks for the info, guys. So in the case of Stringfellow Hawke wearing it on Airwolf it makes sense because he's probably wearing a bracelet with his MIA brother St. John's name on it. But whose name would be on Magnum's bracelet? Some friend or family member that's MIA? I don't think it's eve...

Re: Question about Magnum's bracelet/clasp thingy?

I keep seeing it around Magnum's hand but I keep forgetting to ask what that thing is. It's a silver metallic bracelet/clasp kind of thing that he wears regularly. I'm guessing on the other hand, not the one that he wears his watch on. I just saw an Airwolf episode where Stringfellow Hawke (Jan-Mic...

She was also in Doctor Who three times, The Great Train Robbery, Miss Moneypenny in Never Say Never Again, and The West Wing. She had a strong career in British television. https://mag...

Re: Unfinished Business (8.8)

Exactly what I thought. It didn’t sound like a real person writing that comment. There’s another one another thread. There are actually about 10-12 now, with 4 coming today. I notified Styles to see if he might block that username. Forgive my ignorance. But would AI do this on it's own, which baffl...

Okay, this was new to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVcivvkBgmw&t=43 Thank you so much for sharing this.
