Hi, I'm Keely and I'm here because of Adam-12. (That's a TV show, not a restaurant. Not that I know of anyway.) Anyway Don wrote a post about Adam-12, http://www.donrockwell.com/index.php?/topic/48754-adam-12-1968-1975-police-drama-following-two-officers-on-duty-in-los-angeles/ I write a blog about Adam-12, http://lincolnxrayida.blogspot.com/2016/09/ambush-season-4-episode-8.html Don asked if he could link to my blog in his post. I said "OK" and here I am. Other than Adam-12, I like food and fashion. I look forward to getting to know the community here.

Oh, and I totally agree with your assessment of episode 17. It really is one of the best episodes of the entire series. I've been lucky enough to meet and spend time talking with Kent McCord twice. When I initially met him one of the first questions he asked me was what my favorite episodes were. I replied that they were "Log 56: Vice Versa" (S3 E23) and "Log 33: It All Happened So Fast". (I didn't actually say the log numbers in my reply to him, but you get the idea.) "It All Happened So Fast" is one of Kent's favorites, too. In fact, he believes it's one of the finest pieces of work in the entire series.

Hey, Don, It's Keely. Thanks for all the kind words and the plug for the blog. I'll never forget the first time I saw the pilot episode of Adam-12. After it was over, I looked at my husband and said, "Where has Adam-12 been all my life?" That was it, I was hooked. Here's a fun fact about about the show. All of the titles from the first 3 seasons start with a log number. This was was an accounting system of sorts. Tom Williams, one of the show's producers explained this in an Adam-12 Facebook group I belong to. As you know the show was based on true stories which were submitted by LAPD officers. The log #'s were used to keep track of the LAPD division the story came from and the number of stories the credited to that division. For example, Log 88 was the 8th story from division 8 (West Los Angeles). The officers who submitted "winning" stories were sent (I think) $50 for the division coffee fund. Don't ask me how they kept track once they did away with the log numbers. Thanks for inviting me into your online community!
