Was his car greenish/aqua?

Who was the 70's sitcom player in El Camino? She was in the scenes with Ed Galbraith, The Disappearer.

On the 1st one, and close enough on the 2nd (I think it was blue)


As to your question about El Camino...I don't know her name. (Was she on The Jeffersons?

I had in my mind that Trapper knew of Adams Ribs.

In the very early episodes, Hawkeye was not from Maine. What state?

If I remember correctly Hawkeye also had a sister and perhaps a living mother, in others episodes he said he was an only child and his father was a widower.

I saw Alan Alda at a talk and book signing. I saw Jamie Farr and shook his hand in Toledo.

As that's the city in which I grew up, that bugged me because there were no restaurants at the train station until the 1990s.
They got the addresses & the direction the streets ran wrong in The Sting, too.
That bugged me, too.

Hmm... I'd guess Columbo, but he was one-eyed, not crossed-eyed.
