I must point out that I didn't write any of that, it's taken from a famous recording made by Stan Freeberg. It's a parody of the Dragnet programme and was written by Freeberg and the celebrated Daws Butler.

I always enjoyed Adam 12 too, Diane. And yes, I do believe the Jack Webb Company produced it.
I'd like to also make note here that Martin Milner (star of Route 66) later went on to star in Adam 12.

Yes Larry you are right. Reed and Maloy were their character names. (Reed was McCord and Maloy was Milner) His partner was played by Kent McCord (real name, Kent McQuater). Heard Mr.McCord talk about that on one of those old talk shows. He stated he did change his name slightly.

Off the subject - I watched a Columbo last night - "Murder by the Book" (1971). It had Martin Milner in it but as he was the victim he wasn't in it very long. It was directed by Stephen Spielberg.

Wow, Spielberg must have been very young then.

I read an article about Stephen Speilberg in Films in Review - I think it featured him as an up and coming director - he had directed the Columbo and "Duel" so it must have been 1971 - he did look very young. Another show I liked was "Family" - I can't remember it being on very long - can't remember anything much about it but I liked it a lot. Another show I watched with my daughter was "The Byrds of Paradise" - I don't know whether the show was so wonderful but the scenery (it was filmed in Hawaii) was beautiful.

"Route 66" was just great - it had the best theme music for a TV show - EVER. "quote] I never saw the original Route 66 TV show, but it's supposed to be released on DVD tomorrow (yes, you read right). I found it on Netflix and have added it to my list after "Emergency - the 2nd season". In the original "pilot" movie (included with Emergency's first season), Martin Milner and Kent McCord appeared in one of the hospital scenes, and Bobby Troup (writer of "Get Your Kicks on Route 66) was singing and playing the piano at a birthday party. None of those incidents were refered to again in the actual series. We didn't see the movie when it was actually on TV, but when I did see it through Netflix about a year ago, I was grateful that the series dropped the romance between Dr. Bracket and nurse Dixie McCall (played by Julie London, who was married to Bobby Troup in real life - maybe they dropped the romance because Mr. Troup played the other doctor). If my parents had seen that much kissing on Emergency, they wouldn't have allowed us kids to watch it at all, LOL!

When "Growing Pains" left the air, Alan Thicke said something that made sense. He said "A television show that was on the air eleven years (or however long "Growing Pains" was on) is not canceled. It's retired."
My partical list.
"Quantum Leap" (which I happen to be watching a repeat now) "Touched by an Angel" anything produced by Jack Webb (as long as they didn't mess it up) "St. Elsewhere" "LA Law"

"Columbo" was the best, especially the one with Johnny Cash as the angry evangelical singer, disgusted with Ida Lupino. I miss Have Gun, Will Travel (wire Paladin, San Francisco). and Rawhide, Ripcord, Hawaiian Eye (but never liked Route 66), 77 Sunset Strip, and my to-this-day heartthrob, Craig Stevens, in Peter Gunn.

I have an LP called "Love Songs of Jack Webb." Just try and shake that mental image. Ooh! One I really miss: "Beany and Cecil." (Help, Cecil, help! Help, Cecil, help!) And as God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly, WKRP in Cincinnati.

I have an LP called "Love Songs of Jack Webb." Just try and shake that mental image. Jack Webb? Love songs? Say it isn't so! "I was out on a 513 when the subject approached my vehicle. She was a caucasian female, approximately 28 years old, with auburn hair and green eyes. I could tell at first glance that she was trouble." As a kid, I used to watch Paladin on TV but never could figure out why Mrs. Paladin named her son "Wire."

The Jack Webb LP is mostly poetry, with a jazz background, and it's godwful. Anthony Newley made a similar LP in the same time period. I think they were supposed to be "make out" LPs -- eeewww!

Westerns channel is now re-running all the "Maverick" episodes in order of their first exposure back in the late 50s. I had forgotten how good this show was with James Garner as Bret Maverick, Jack Kelly as Bart Maverick, and Roger Moore as Beau Maverick. The show lasted for 140 episodes, while Garner only was around for 52 of them.
Also remember James Garner in "The Rockford Files".
;D

Thanks for reminding me that Roger Moore was Beau Maverick. I had forgotten him in that, but loved him in "The Saint"! Since you brought up Westerns, who played "Yancy Derringer"? Was it Guy Madison? I also remember Gene Barry as "Bat Masterson" (and later, in "Burke's Law."

Guy Madison played Wild Bill Hickock. According to IMDb, Yancy Derringer was played by Jock Mahoney.
