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.

Martin Milner...Kurt...McCord? Certainly remember watching it.

Milner starred too in a made for T.V movie too, "Runaway" (I think that was the title) which surrounded a supposed runaway ski train, which was shot on the railroad grade not far from my home here (10 miles). I could tell you a lot about the film (Ben Johnson was the Hogger/Engineer), but this is really about subs, so....

General Francisco Franco? Yeah, he's still dead (SNL, late seventies...when it was still actually funny).

SNL is still dead too.

It has been a long time since SNL was funny.
