Adam 12 Tidbits
From his experience with Dragnet Jack Webb created a realistic cop show about LAPD activities. He even hired Shaaron Claridge, a police radio operator, to provide the voice for show's radio calls.The real life dispatcher was married to a real life LA police officer!
"One Adam Twelve, One Adam Twelve" called the officers to action as they covered several calls per show.
Reed's wife (Kristen Harmon) was oft talked about but only seen three times.
Kristen Harmon is the daughter of Tom Harmon and sister to Mark Harmon. She was once married to Ricky Nelson.
They tried to revive the show as the "New Adam 12" for the 1990 -1991 season. Peter Parros played Ofc. Gus Grant and Ethan Wayne played Ofc. Matt Doyle. But there was no joy to be found and the show cancelled.
Passings
Gary Crosby died in 1995 of lung cancer, William Elliott in 1983, and Fred Stromsoe died in 1994.

Hawaii Five-O Tidbits - Book 'em Danno
Hawaii Five-O is an elite investigative unit that reports to the Governor of Hawaii (Richard Denning). At the head is Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord), a serious, no nonsense cop in the tradition of Eliott Ness. He is assisted by the able Danny Williams (James MacArthur) and a group that included Det. Kono Kalakaua, Det. Chin Ho Kelly, pathologist Doc Berg and lab tech Che Fong.
Filmed on location, Hawaii Five-O boasted some of the most gorgeous scenery ever seen on TV so perhaps the State of Hawaii should be listed as a co-star
The unit is housed in the Iolani Palace in downtown Honolulu but crime took the group all over allowing for many exterior locations. Real Honolulu Police officers often played the extras on the show.
We never knew much about them personally. McGarrett was a bachelor and loved sailing but that's a short resume. The stories featured the crimes.
James MacArthur had tired of the role after eleven years and he left the series to be replaced by William Smith as Kimo Carew. In the show's last year only McGarrett remained of the original characters.
The pilot for Hawaii Five-O aired 9/20/1968 as a two hour movie called "Cocoon." Tim O'Kelly played Danny Williams but it was felt he was too hard looking and MacArthur was cast. Lew Ayres was the Governor but he didn't want to move to Hawaii and Mark Denning got that role.
In that pilot our good guys chased a really bad guy named Wo Fat (Khigh Dhiegh), who would reappear throughout the show's life as a constant source of evil. In the last show of the series in 1980 "Woe to Wo-Fat," McGarret gets his man.
Passings
Khigh Dhiegh in 1991 of kidney and heart failure, Danny Kamekona died in 1996, Jack Lord in 1998 of congestive heart failure, Richard Denning in 1998 of cardiac arrest, Herman Wedemeyer in 1999 of a heart attack, and Moe Leale in 2002.
