Tony Curtis framed him for marijuana possession “The Sweet Smell of Success.”

Great theme song, Route 66.

That sucks. I was just talking about those Adam 12 guys on another thread. It was a different America. Mostly cat up a tree stuff but one thing I noticed was that they always looked to settle disputes without having to lock anybody up. They policed in such a way that promoted peace and cooperation in the community.

And this was Los Angeles!

We named the police duo in our village Adam 12. We had some run-ins with them, mainly about having fires in our back yard. The neighbors complained. They were cool. They showed us how their new radar gun worked.

Good show. Miss those times.

RIP

Reason is they didn’t want pay Bobby troup for Royalites which later on Bobby Troup went on be Dr Joe Early on Emergency

He seemed like a good guy and was married to the same woman since 1957, so he probably was.

He was great in an episode of “Colombo”. Directed by Spielberg, he played a writer that gets knocked off by his partner, Jack Cassidy. Small part.
