Anyone else notice that the cars in QM productions were always Fords.
He must have gotten a great deal from Ford.
Loved Cannon’s Lincoln even though in real life that car was a lackluster underperformer but he had a phone.
Barnaby Jones cruising for justice in LTDs, at least 2 door.
Don’t forget Efrem Zimbalist Jr. tooling around in FBI Fords.
There are a lot of shows not available here and I can watch them subtitled.
I can not only gain an appreciation for foreign cultures - I can understand the dialogue as a deaf/hearing-impairing person thanks to subtitling.
I think Netflix and Viki have made great strides in unlocking the world’s treasure house of entertainment for viewers’ enjoyment.
True but series was a bit before me. EZ was really good on screen.
His Daughter was hot as a firecracker. I never understood why she never did much other than ‘Remington Steele”.
Both the film and Invaders was heavily played on the Sci-Fi channel back when it started.
Lee Meriwether, yummy.
I remember my mom telling a story from when she worked at Actors Equity in NYC in the late 40’s I believe.
She walked out the front door and right into the arms of Robert Stack. He held her for a couple of minutes to keep her from falling down and apologized profusely. My mom said she practically fainted looking into those beautiful eyes of his (her words). She never forgot that especially when seeing him in a movie holding a leading lady. Quite a thrill for a 20 year old girl I would imagine.
LOL
Robert Stack had a reputation as being one of the genuinely nice guys in Hollywood. He used to have a monthly column on shotguns in Gun World” magazine.
He had once been a world champion shooter. I can’t remember if it was skeet or trap.
Steph was supposedly slated for Robocop but NBC held tight as steel to Remington Steele.
I would have loved to have seen her make it to the big screen.
Remember the aliens funky ‘finger’ somewhere in each show?!
Yes, he was a class act married to the same woman for 40+ years until his death.
ATA sticks in my mind as far as shooting. I believe he edited the Shotgun Digest at one time.
As an FYI, Mom said the worst person she ever came in contact with there was Jerry Lewis. He was always pissed off and yelling about something and it carried across the building and offices.
If I remember right, not all the aliens had the finger problem.

Can 0.00 bend his pinky finger? How about his other tzars?
Quinn Martin had great shows...I loved Barnaby Jones..
