Some shows from the 1970s

that it was.. well brfore i really became attuned to his movies. .that series made me a James Garner fan. Anothr series i haven't seen in many many years but every week i was tuniing in. 

granted the theme opening was no patch on Barney Miller.. but what was.. perhaps the single greatest in all TV history.. but still pretty cool..

enjoying a trip down memory lane...

I really wish that my English was better than it was at that time ... to give you an example, I graduated from High School in 1969, and it took me almost 9 years to be able to finally get an AA in Santa Barbara, because my English was so bad that I could not get a decent grade on any classes where I had to do some reading. Of course, I did great on Technical Theater classes ... but the rest was hard, and to this day, even Guy Guden has gone out of his way in his blog (and radio show!) to make fun of the stupid and "day-glo portuguese cook", because he could not see, understand, or appreciate the language problems and barriers in place!

Things like I, Claudius and even a bit later the Shogun thing, lost a lot of its glare as I could not understand what was being said, and specially the BBC stuff, that was ALL, the best of the best English Theater folks together showcasing what they did so well!

I've caught up, to many of those things, but the appreciation simply is not the same, and somehow, I am STILL a movie person, not a TV show person ... although many things I did see and remember fondly ... the original show that KS stole with Ian Richardson was one example, and several of the shows that were on the BBC channel once in a while ... like the one about the lord of the lair (something like that), the one about the stewardesses, the first several series of Black Adder, and of course things like Monty Python, that was a bit hard to understand ... I had a much easier time with Firesign Theater, btw, than I did with MP.
