Ok, let's see if we can cover this--Banacek was a tv series for about 3 years--and yes, it was the A team George Peppard. Each show began with an impossible theft, and after the insurance companies had exhausted their investigative abilities, they HAD to go to Banacek, an independent, albeit very hard to work with insurance investigator. He always ended the show with all people called together in true Agatha Christie style to disclose how the crime was committed and who the guilty party was (guilty party was always in attendance). Hmmm, color tv came to my house when I was in junior high and was a really big deal when it happened. And by the way, at that time we only got one channel. And the cheapest gas I bought was ethyl for my 4 speed 64 Chevelle for .19 a gallon on Cornhusker Highway (home of the gas wars-remember those?) in Lincoln when I was a freshman in college.

I remember when we only had three channels & when you wanted to change the channel you actually had to get up & turn the knob to change it!!!!

I also remember the days before ATM's, cellphones, PC's, iPods, etc... It's funny to watch an episode of Rockford files to see James Garner pull over to use a pay phone! The things we take for granted these days!

Rockford Files! There's a great one, Joe! I am hearing the theme song in the back of my mind right now!!! James Garner (and his dad--was that Noah Beery playing that role?) were so good in that--and if I remember correctly, there was Angel, and I think a character played by Isaac Hayes that always called him "Rockfish" right?

Ha! My parents had one that was the side of a planner and was far from mobile, could only operate with a AC or DC power and cost 50 bucks for 50 minutes.
