Poll question: A Quinn Martin Production... IN COLOR! (ACT 1)

(Here's a poll question that's destined to sink quickly.)

Do you have a favorite "QM" production?

-- Allen

EDIT: Added "The Fugitive" (shame on me)

[terrya]

1. I did like "Cannon"

William Conrad as a "portly" detective...driving around in that Lincoln Continental Mark IV. Great show! :-)

Terry

[frylock]

3. me too, but you can't beat the untouchables!!

[arwalden]

8. That Was Back When TV Shows Had REAL Theme Songs

The animated moving "dot" on the Cannon opening credits was always memorable. (If I'm remember it correctly, that is to say.)

-- Allen

[terrya]

10. You're absolutely right! There was that dot during the "Cannon" theme...

My God...you've must as spent as much time in front of the television as I did. :-)

2. You left off the best QM of all

"The Fugitive."

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. The Fugitive was black and white.

[salinen]

7. Not all "Fugitive" episodes

were in black and white. But o.k., I'll go stand over here for awhile.

[arwalden]

9. OMG! Silly me!

It's added now. A little late... but it's there.

16. The Fuge was the first series I followed religiously.

"Starring David Janssen as 'The Fugitive'" The last (fourth) season was in color. In the early 90's, A & E aired the series. I taped every one of them and still have them. The tapes are probably going bad by now, but I enjoyed watching them at the time.

4. Wasn't "The Invaders" a QM deal??

Pretty sure it was...

[BurtWorm]

5. God, they're all awful!

I always found them the most boring shows on TV. I'm voting for Ralph in this election. (Ralph Edwards?)

[arwalden]

11. For The Longest Time I Thought "Quinn Martin" Was TWO PEOPLE...

Mr. Quinn and Mr. Martin.

[terrya]

12. I remember the closing credits of "The FBI"...

When Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. would walk out of the FBI building into a brand new Ford sedan (a new one each year) and drive off...with the end of the credits saying that "The FBI is produced with the cooperation of the FBI and J. Edgar Hoover, Director"

13. Poll Update:

In spite of it's late addition, The Fugitive, has already soared to one vote, and is now within striking distance of The Untouchables.

[CO Liberal]

14. The Best Thing About "The Untouchables"....

...was the cheesy narrations by Walter Winchell.

[brook]

15. I had to vote for Barnaby...

cause it's the show that started me on my path to becoming a propmaster. (Doesn't seem like a 100 years ago...it was a hunnert years ago!)

[GOPisEvil]

17. Remember the hammer and chisel at the end?

Barnaby Jones, I guess, even though Buddy Ebsen was a Republican. OF course, I didn't know that then.

[Doc_Technical]

20. Umm.. was that a hammer and stamp?

This was the trademark of Mark VII (?) productions of
Jack Webb; those were Jack's hands, if my dim memory serves
me well.

What about 12 o'Clock High? the last season or two were
in color after they "killed" Gen. Savage (Robert Lansing).Ï

[GOPisEvil]

21. Oh yeah...you might be right.

Oops. :embarrassed:

[flamingyouth]

18. Streets of SF was my favorite show as a kid

I just loved it. I wish it was on now - TV Land, are you listening? :shrug:

[nini]

19. Dan August.. God - I thought Burt Reynolds was so HOT

LOL.. I was about 11 years old when that was out!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

22. I voted Streets of SF, but...

wasn't Mod Squad a QM production as well?

It was required viewing in the student center lounge during my freshman year in college.
