CHARLIES ANGELS
Episode : Fallen Angel 1979

Charlie was discussing a jewel thief with the angels
The 3 angels in this episode were :
Cheryl Ladd
Shelley Hack
Jaclyn Smith
and
Farrah Fawcett [in a guest appearance]

In Charlies preview, he made this comment about the jewel thief Damien Roth
" Mr Roth is a man with James Bondian tastes, means and charms."

The 1979 part of Mr Roth was played by Timothy Dalton !
7 Years later Timothy Dalton played his FIRST James Bond part in 1986 !

I think this one clearly confirms Bayman's seasonal prediction.
However, upon a little more research, the image was taken in the summer of 1976. Maybe a cold day in LA?

From Vanity Fair........

Farrah Fawcett’s perky, 70s pinup pose was the picture seen around the world—or at least on every teenage boy’s wall.

With millions of copies sold, [according to the Smithsonian] it is the best-selling poster of all time. C’mon, who could resist that voluminous hair, infectious smile, and, of course, that suit!

If the poster company behind the shoot had its way, however, the red swimsuit would have never made it into the frame.

Fawcett was still relatively unknown at that point, as Charlie’s Angels had not yet debuted on ABC, and they thought a racy shot was their best chance to sell posters.

Recalls photographer Bruce McBroom to Entertainment Weekly, “I said [to Farrah], ‘He wants you in a bikini,’ and she said, ‘I don’t have a bikini.’” So, she went into her closet and put on what she had, did her own hair and makeup, and flashed her signature megawatt smile.

The colorful background? A blanket from Mexico that McBroom had in the back of his 1937 pickup truck.

Fawcett herself chose the final shot to send to the company. “She told me later that she had picked out her top two favorites and marked them on the slides,” McBroom told Time. “It was Farrah’s pose, Farrah’s suit, Farrah’s idea. She picked that shot. She made a lot of money for him and for herself, and made me semifamous.”

When asked why he thinks the photograph became iconic, McBroom told American Photo, in an interview, that he was unsure. “I have tried over the years to understand why the Farrah poster attracted so much interest from so many people. I think it was a lucky combination of this wholesome, beautiful, all-American girl looking directly at you with a dazzling smile and a red suit that covered a lot but revealed a little.”

I have vague recollections of reading that the red swimsuit was an Australian brand

Now that would make a good trivia question!

Cheryl Ladd was Farrah Fawcetts replacement
Ladd created an impression on her first day at work
She wore a tee shirt that day
* Farrah Fawcett Minor*

divvy four, the saint and the untouchables i have fond memories of, also rin tin tin as a very young boy along with the texas rangers

BOOGIE NIGHTS [1997]
In this movie , in Mark Wahlbergs room , is a poster of Farah Fawcett in that red swimsuit !

Four pages and not one mention of one of the all time great Australian shows:

Prisoner

Some of you might need a lesson with the press for this insolence, or a stint in the pound.

The final season is currently airing on TV Hits, while the going rate for the current incarnation of DVD's at around $120 per year/season (though if you rummage through the DVD piles at Cheap as Chips, it's rumoured that there are some DVD's of the show available for $10).

Agree Prisoner is iconic
So was the theme song On The Inside by Lynne Hamilton

Thats the one Fatty

In that movie Mark Wahlberg gets into an argument with his mother
She storms into his room, pulls the Farah Fawcett poster down and rips it up

Wahlberg went ape

Favorite Crime shows

JAKE AND THE FATMAN

Im a Joe Penny fan
Ice cool , smooth actor
Some good plots
Currently on 3:30pm on Channel one [137]

William Conrad is the Fatman
He was the original Matt Dillon[Gunsmoke ] on radio in the 1950-60s

Great voice & narrated a lot of tv shows did William Conrad who I think owned the "Maltese Falcon" statue from the film

THE MUNSTERS

One thing that I find unusual is that Lily [Yvonne De Carlo] played the wife
Al Lewis played the part of Grandpa

Thier real life not reel life birth dates were
1/9/22 Yvonne De Carlo
30/4/23 Al Lewis
Grandpa is a year younger !

My favorite crime- based show is easy.

The Rockford Files. Loved it as a kid, loved it more as an adult. James Garner is the quintessential 70's TV P.I with the great car, the knack with the ladies, able to smell a good mystery and more often than not, solve it - but often without collecting his "$200 a day, plus expenses".

One of the best investments over the last few years was the first 4 seasons on DVD.

The Rockford files is a great show, I recall watching a James Garner documentary on the History Channel & it was mentioned that they used the same formula as Maverick but put the stories in modern day situations (modern day for back then)
