Vic Tayback seemed like such a nice guy, died way to early. Ball Four had like 12 people on the intro. That spelled trouble. And a Ted Lange sighting a year before Love Boat. Oh and Charlie's Angel, my favorite episode, Angels in Chains, Judd Hirsch 2 years before Taxi. And wanted to be a M.E. like Quincy, the great Jack Klugman.

I love the mini-series drawn from novels that were prevalent at this time extending into the 1980's. *Captains & the Kings* was one of the best and had the advantage of accurately portraying basically who controls our economic and political system. The Rockefellers at the time took the lead in pushing a one-world government with a Globalist economy. We see this movement continuing to this day, pretty much out in the open. David Rockefeller admitted in his 2002 autobiography that he was pushing just this one-world agenda.
