Which 70s cop show had the best theme song?? a) Baretta b) Columbo c) Kojak d) Hawaii 5-0 e) Barney Miller f) Husky and Starch g) ___________________ who even remembers Husky and Starch's theme song? fuckin Zebra - 3. those guys were wankers. Columbo, ok... but certainly not that memorable, any more than Kojak's theme was memorable... a tough choice between Baretta and Hawaii 5-0... but for a cop show, I gotta go with Baretta's theme. sung here by Mr. Entertainment!

did you know that "Baretta" in Swahili means 'stupid dumb ass motherfucker' ?? well, in ONE of the dialects it does! the question was who was the TOUGHEST cop not who was the dumbest!! Who was the toughest? Who was the toughest TV cop of the 70s?? and why?? a) Baretta b) Columbo c) Kojak d) Steve McGarret e) Barney Miller f) Hutch g) Starsky h) __________________________ in my book, Baretta was too short to be really tough. Columbo, while intelligent and pretty much of a hard ass when it came to law breakers, never bitch slapped any perps. McGarret was a bit too 'official' and by the book, though he did threaten and knock around a few suspects in season one. Barney Miller -- no elaboration necessary. How did this guy make Captain anyways? Oh, I know, the only one else up for the job was Fish. (a GREAT comedy TV show, though) Starsky and Hutch were both borderline fags (not that there is anything wrong with that) how many shows did a bomb go off and they were thrown into each other's arms?? sheesh. so, that leaves Kojak -- the toughest bad ass cop of the 70's in a VERY tough neighborhood. The 9th Precint on the lower east side of MaDhattan. He either threatened, violated someone's civil rights,or bitch slapped a perp in almost every episode. Further, he wore a cool hat and his suits were top notch. especially the linings. PLUS he got laid more than all of those other cops combined. Who love's you baby?

i say 1st:columbo;thats the kind a stuff he would say.2barreta,cause he was pretty slick.and now moing along to Hal,thats pretty cool,you mentioned savoy brown i found a old cassette that my late ol'man had of savoy no tape in it ive looked for a long time in variouse stores for it havent found it yet.charo pretty cool.thanks for sharing that. peace

So I'm looking through the latest Guitar Player and they have a list of the top 40 underrated guitarists and among them is David Lindley, Kim Simmons from Savoy Brown, Rick Derringer, Robie Krieger from the Doors, Rory Gallagher, Andy Powell and Ted Turner from Wishbone Ash and Charo! No kidding. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. Wiliam Blake

Baretta - 'cause thirty years later he "offs" his "wife" and uses the alibi, "I couldn't have killed the woman, I was looking for the gun I left at the restaurant!" Now that statement took balls and a total lack of intelligence which could only result in the toughest 70's TV cop. The Dude Abides!

Who was the toughest TV cop of the 70s?? and why?? a) Baretta b) Columbo c) Kojak d) Steve McGarret e) Barney Miller f) Hutch g) Starsky h) __________________________

Which TV cop of the 70's said: "You can't corrupt it. And you know why? Because to corrupt it, you've got to show how corrupt you really are." a) Baretta b) Columbo c) Kojak d) Steve McGarret e) Barney Miller f) Hutch g) Starsky

a) Baretta The Dude Abides!

OK, CCJoe, I'll give you credit for a win on my trivia. The character in question was Bart and I thought the line to be of some irony for our lives. As for TV, it is pretty sad, for sure. Thank God for the Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park and Charlie Brown. Wait a minute, I think I see a connection here, hummmm... Also, don't forget to watch The Daily Show and Colbert Report (although they're all repeats this week). Jon Stewart has had several world leaders (both current and past) on the show recently, not the least of which was the President of Bolivia, a former tenant farmer that reformed several major elements of government in six months, including forcing the major natural gas company to re-negotiate a contract that was very unfair to the people of Bolivia while giving what amounted to bribes to top government officials. Not included in that interview (unfortunately) was the fact that The Bush administration tried to paint the newly elected leader (at the time) as a terrorist sponsor. Perhaps reform should travel north? Both are great shows, not to be missed. The Dude Abides!

this is so frigging true, it is sad. I got DVDs for Hawaii 5 -0, Kojack, Columbo, The Jeffersons, Sanford and Son, Good Times, and so on... etc etc etc Barney Miller, too; just to get me by... what is being produced in La La land these days is a fucking travesty.
