Baretta Tidbits

Baretta was an indirect spinoff of Toma (anyone remember Toma?). After Tony Musante left the show, Robert Blake was asked to step in, and the show was revamped into Baretta. Tony Baretta was an unconventional cop, streetwise with a decidedly funky lifestyle. He lived in apartment 2-C of an old run-down hotel called the King Edward, with his pet cockatoo, Fred. The orphaned son of poor Italian immigrants, Baretta was a master of disguise, which ability he used to infilrate gangs. The show had plenty of hard action, as well as comic relief provided by his dude informant friend, Rooster. The show made it into the Top Ten for the 1976/1977 season.

And, of course, many of you have heard about the troubles of one Mr. Blake, I’m sure.

That's the end of the ride for today. Please watch your step on exiting the time machine. Now that I've shown you a few, how about you share something from your memory. Or, if one of these were your favorite show then, share a memory of the best episode for you.

I remember Emergency 51 from seeing a recreation on the set of Universal Studios in LA circa 1975. This was a nice family show. Not like today when it's all serial murders on CSI or "fearless prosecutors" on Law and Order spinoffs. (That said, I do like NCIS on Tues, CBS 8 PM EST).

Condolences to the family and friend of Sgt. Corey Dan, 101st Airborne.

Today's FEEBLE

YOKE :

A woman called a local hospital. "Hello! Could you connect me to the person who gives information about patients. I'd like to find out if a patient is getting better, doing as expected, or getting worse."

The voice on the other end said, "What is the patient's name and room number?"

"Sarah Finkel, in room 302."

"I'll connect you with the nursing station."

"3-A Nursing Station! How can I help you?"

"I'd like to know the condition of Sarah Finkel in room 302."

"Just a moment please! Let me look at her records. Mrs. Finkel is doing very well. In fact, she's had two full meals and her blood
pressure is fine. She will be taken off the heart monitor in a couple of hours and, if she continues this improvement, Dr. Cohen is going to send her home Tuesday at noon."

The woman said, "What a relief! Oh, that's fantastic... that's wonderful news!"

The nurse said, "From your enthusiasm, I take it you are a close family member or a very close friend!"

"Neither! I'm Sarah Finkel in 302! Nobody here tells me $hit."

Good morning, Ciexyz

I happen to like CSI, although I can only watch reruns cause it comes on Thursday nights, which is when I'm at the Canteen.

I must admit that I really don't care for how grahic they make some of the scenes.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning, Ma. I thought you were going to be in bed by the time I got back. Please explain?
