My first post, finally, on this thread is going to be about ADAM-12, which
premiered in 1968. It is currently showing on the Antenna-TV network,
usually alongside Dragnet. A friend and I have been watching it, mostly
on the weekend airings, and talking about it a bit.
So, when I was young and this show came on Saturday nights, I had a crush
on one of those officers, Kent McCord.
Lately he's been active in the SAG, he might've even been President of it for awhile.
When I worked at Virgin Megastore he came in once when it was quite empty and
I talked to him for a bit. And the guy looks just about the same as he did in 1968,
whereas I now look older than he does! ($%&#!) At the time, I had just recently
seen an episode of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In where he and Martin Milner were doing
some jokes as their Adam-12 personas and I mentioned to him that I had just seen that.
He was very nice. And I felt my crush coming back! I almost, really--a l m o s t told him
that I had had a crush on him way back when. I wish I had now.
Sigh.
And having watched many of these lately I'm finding Martin Milner was quite appaling, too.
He was also a regular on Route 66 with George Chakiris, but I have never seen much of that show.
By the way, I also used to see George Chakiris at my other job I had. George Chakiris is gay, if you
believe renting gay porn -- a lot -- is a good indication.
Some other gay tv stars of yesteryear that I met will probably get mentioned if we bring up their
shows here. We should keep a running tally! Heh!
We could start with Bewitched for several right off the bat, lol!
