I know! I know! a Quinn Martin (sp?) production..

Starring ______________ _______________ ______________ ?

[Jay Little]

I'm pretty sure that Efrem Zimbalist Jr. was in it, but that's the best I can do without resorting to cheating using the WWW.

[Buzz]

You got it, Jay. I can still remember the sound of the voice in that FBI intro line. Probably because as a kid watching the show on our lil' black & white tv, I think Efrem Zimbalist Junior was the strangest name I'd ever heard.

[trularin]

I could never get that guy's name right. Go the junior, but messed up the first and last name.

We had a B&W TV for years. I didn't know color existed until I was allowed to go to some kids house.

[Ron61]

We used to get colored, thin, transparent vinyl of some kind and put it on the old B&W TV screen and get color. Of course all the people and everything was whatever color the covering was. And all these years people insist that there are no green people.

Ron

[Jay Little]

I think we got our first "COLOR" TV between 79/81. Up until then it was an 19" B/W.

I always thought the Big Rig on BJ and the Bear was grey and white until the color set came along.
