I kind of like Sgt. Doakes. He's a hard-ass for sure, but the character reminds me of Captain Trunk from "Sledge Hammer" combined with Captain Dobey from "Starsky & Hutch". Of course, the captain in Dex's Miami precinct is played by Geoff Pierson of "Unhappily Ever After" fame. :)
I saw a few episodes of Trackdown years ago, because I've long been a fan of Robert Culp. It wasn't that good, and Hoby Gilman's narration didn't help those routine dramatizations of The Texas Rangers. You aren't missing much.
Yes, it makes Alan Armer out to be a hypocrite if he actually said that, because he didn't seem to have a problem producing The Invaders and CANNON -- two other high-quality QM Productions shot in color. :) The only reason Armer left The Fugitive was to work on The Invaders just before The...
SLIDERS was a fun show for most of its years on FOX, but aside from a disasterous 3rd season ruined by horror film remakes, the two seasons produced for the Sci-Fi Channel were very much the opposite: Season 4 with the Mallory brothers (played by the O'Connell brothers) and a return to the...
Back to the topic at hand: I don't feel this show can be compared to Monk at all for 2 reasons: First, Dexter Morgan was raised and trained to be the way he is by his late adoptive father. Adrian Monk, meanwhile, became obsessive-compulsive in recent years as a direct result of his...
I'm not distributing any shows, because my computer doesn't have a DVD burner. I wouldn't do that even if I could. I don't even upload anything, because it never worked when I tried. When I said "sharing" I meant with 1 or 2 people I personally know and letting them borrow DVDs I bought in the...
Selling them is illegal, and I'm opposed to that. SHARING them is just fine. "Want to borrow my DVD?" :) HTF forbids only the links to torrent sites though, so I won't be sharing those (tried once and got a warning).
The torrent site free downloads of Dexter were originally recorded off-air from Showtime last year, and they look great! No complaints on the video quality there. :emoji_thumbsup: Just one question, since I'm only 3 episodes in: Does he and Julie Benz' character ever have sex??
Kimble's search for Fred Johnson IS a very crucial part of the show, and it's what occasionally makes the hunted the hunter for 4 years. It keeps the good former doctor going since Kimble realizes that Johnson is the key to his getting a possible legal pardon.
Yes, what's the deal with Sony?? They've been closing more manufacturing plants in the past few years (particularly here in California), as the company downsizes. I too was among those laid off from work. A major corporation like that should treat their employees better.
As far as the early years go, I'm looking even more forward to the fourth season. In addition to the improved opening theme music, it reached a pinnacle of excellence with the 2-part "The Ninety-Second War", in which Wo Fat arranges to have McGarrett get into a road accident. The gimmick was...
I did some research on this series (which I've never seen before either). Douglas was indeed one of the producers, although he never appeared in the show. One of the guest stars was Patrick McGoohan. 39 episodes were produced during the same season that McGoohan's Danger Man series was being...
That was common even back then. For example, Alfred Hitchcock's company was Shamley Productions -- which produced both of his series at Revue Studios, which was bought by Universal before The Alfred Hitchcock Hour completed its run. Surely all series from that era are owned by Universal.
What's to explain? She played 2 completely different characters. In the season premiere it was a minor part: A woman comes out of a bar and gets run over. In the 2-part "Three Dead Cows at Makapuu" she has a leading guest role as a phone operator who makes the mistake of falling for Ed Flanders.
I know what you mean, Todd. Anyone today watching Richard Chamberlain as Dr. Kildare occasionally romancing the female guest stars can't help but think of the fact that he came out of the closet in recent years, most (or perhaps least) noteably in 2002 when he appeared in drag twice to play Mr...
Somehow I suspect that Medical Center and / or Marcus Welby, MD (which both ran during the same 7 seasons) will see the light of DVDay long before Ben Casey and Dr. Kildare.
Maybe it's because I haven't seen the Blu-Ray, but as with most people I really don't see the need to upgrade the standard definition DVDs of shows and films that I already have in my collection. That's because what I have already looks great as it is. It's an unnecessary extra expense to...
Well, I wasn't referring to continuity errors at all but now that you mentioned it...
Don't you know that in Hawaii they have little humidity most of the year? That's how Steve's clothes dried a might quick, Brudda! :laugh:
I forgot to mention that Bettye Ackerman (the actress who played Dr. Maggie Graham in a number of Ben Casey episodes) was married to co-star Sam Jaffe -- a man who was 33 years her senior. Way to go, Sammy! :D
I never had an opportunity to see Dr. Kildare, but I have seen a number of episodes of Ben Casey (in early 1980s CBN Cable reruns) and although I'm not a fan of medical dramas....Ben Casey was one of the best. :emoji_thumbsup: Vince Edwards as Ben and Sam Jaffe as his boss, the hospital...
As far as Bruce Dern performances go, he wasn't given that much to do in "The Other Side of the Mountain" or "The Good Guys and the Bad Guys", but as the motorcycle gang leader in "The Devil's Disciples" in the final season Bruce stole the show out from under Janssen. But getting back to the...
I would have completely hated that early episode, if it weren't for the fine performance of Patricia Crowley (another hottie from that era which I left off my earlier list). :)
