Cheif Dan was never big on civil rights for bad guys.

Never heard of him until the sheriff’s deputy told Sheriff Buford T. Justice “I don’t give a damn if your name’s Broderick Crawford.” in Smokey & The Bandit.

I catch 99% of all cultural references but I admit this was a total mystery to me until I did some research.

I loved that show when I was a kid. Along with “Whirlybirds” and “Tales of the Texas Rangers.”

“Out of the clear blue of the Western sky comes ... Sky King!”

As chance would have it, I pulled up alongside Brodrick Crawford at a stoplight in Hollywood.

It was a clear twilight evening at Sunset and La Cienega and he had his window rolled down.

Our eyes met and I said "10-4".

He replied rather sternly, "Over and out."

That was in the Spring of 1974.

I watched the show religiously.
Me too, the golden age of TV. Back in those days "men were men and women ..."

[N. Theknow]

I watched the show religiously.

My brother and I used to put on ties and stand in front of the fan to make the ties flap in the breeze like BC's always did.
