How many of you remember "1 Adam-12?"
Actor Martin Milner, a.k.a. Officer Pete Malloy answered his last call in Adam -12.
He passed away last night at the age of 83.

 RIP.

 I'm watching CNN's confirmation hearings  Do I look like I have time to check out everything that comes across my desk on Facebook?

I know the show was on, that's about it. I don't remember the show.
nikimcbee, I certainly remember Emergency. I watched it when I was a kid, and watch the reruns now.

One interesting fact everybody seems to miss is that, while their car number was indeed 1-Adam-12, the title of the show was just "Adam-12".

He was also a star on Route 66 on CBS from 1960 to 1964 which made me always want a new Corvette, but I got 1966 Mustang instead.

But their call sign was 1 Adam 12. That breaks down to Division 1 (central division) Adam (two person patrol car) and 12 which was the number of the vehicle. Absolutely boring and uninteresting trivia: In the TV program, 1 Adam 12 operated in which was actually the Second division. It shared the same division as the TV program Emergency which took place in the Second Division. So the actual call sign should have been 2 Adam 12. But no one would really care about that.
