How many of you remember "1 Adam-12?"

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".

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.
