I’ve been watching this TV show lately at night on Dish. Pretty predictable acting but entertaining. Good scenery with Heather Locklear. I’m wondering what model S&W does Hooker use? I’m thinking a 28. I wish I could shoot as well as he does with it. I like looking at the older vehicles from the late 70’s and early 80’s on the show as well. Kinda a flash back to my youth.

Not sure I’ve seen it.

Good as Rockford Files?

Although I wrote for T.J. Hooker, I wasn't on the set when they were filming so I don't know what revolver Shatner carried. What the prop department had for him probably as that's the way it was done.

T.J. Hooker was a uniformed police (LAPD) show whereas Rockford Files was a private eye show. Big difference. I've written for other private eye shows but never wrote for Rockford Files.

L.W.

Shatner's wig was massive in that series.

IMFDB-internet movie firearm data base says in the premier Hooker had a S&W M15. Seasons 1 & 2 he used a Colt Trooper MKIII.


My favorite Shatner scene.

Hell, I thought Heather Locklear was the only person on that show.

One of my buddies had a class with Heather Locklear when they were both Freshman at UCLA. She was taking classes, modeling, and had a few TV gigs on the side, I think he said she'd appeared on CHiPs during that time. 1979-1980ish.

He says that she was so stupendously gorgeous in those days that when she entered the classrooms, even the girls stared at her. Said in real life she was on the thin side, but had that Farrah Fawcett hair, killer figure, and 1000 watt smile.

Said she was really nice, but he could hardly carry on a conversation with her without being intimidated by her good looks or his momentary lack of blood to his brain.

Not even in the same orbit.

An even better one has since been removed by youtube (last I checked).

He is sitting at his desk in the law office and removes all the weapons on his person.

Best Shatner scene.

The Maltese Falcon is not the only "stuff dreams ore made of"

I took a shatner this morning

Fall Guy would kick his ass

That's were I learned the tuck/roll/shoot ninja move.

It was OK. Worth watching because of Heather Locklear. 🤠

Rockford Files was much better, IMO. One of my favorites.

L W,
Did you ever write for “Mannix” ?

Yep!

I was always intrigued on how his car sounded. I realized one day that I could flip the breather lid over on my dad's 76 chevy pickup with a 350 and it made the same noise.

Baretta used to do that across pool tables, hoods, whatever was available.

Yep. Made those old 350 Chevy small blocks with the Quadrajet 4 barrel carb sound faster. 😜

With a parrot on his shoulder!

HL was a year ahead of my brother in HS....She was a pain in the ass head case (though attractive) and she hasn't changed.

No, I never pitched them a story. Thought of one that might have worked but used it on another show.

L.W.

She's still smokin' hot and her daughter is even finer.

Sac,

Yeah, her love affair with Rock Stars shows that.

The chick in Rockford files was hot. (Lawyer?)

Yep. And James Garner was a great actor. And the old guy that played his Dad. “Rocky”

I’ve always liked Shatner. He was good in the parts he played.

Shatner had great parts in a couple Twilight Zone episodes.

Everyone gets all worked up about looks. Like I tell women, obedience is the sexiest thing going.

Adrian zmed looked pretty good too. He probably spent a lot of time in the gym

Both were absolute classics.

Hmmm, Rockford Files...Isaac Hayes...always called him "Rockfish"...I wouldn't drink a margarita...too sissified...until I saw Rockford drink one, while on a case in Mexico...I can't walk by a margarita machine now... Icee with a buzz !!!
