*Welcome back to the world of QM Productions! Our earlier foray into Quinn Martin's work is right here in Dan August. Our Poor Devil episode is here.
*Shout again to Charlie and Trevor for inspiring us to cover TSOSF!
*Credit to Mike Quigley's website for giving a cool rundown of Streets' episodes.
*The books we reference are Jonathan Martin's Quinn Martin, Producer and James Rosin's The Streets of San Francisco: A Quinn Martin TV Series. Carolyn Weston's 1972 Poor, Poor Ophelia is the novel that served as source material for the series.
*Skag aired on NBC from January to February 1980 and failed despite being from the producer of Kojak. You can see a promo in this week's video playlist below.
*The NBC reunion movie aired Monday, January 27, 1992 and was produced by Aaron Spelling's company. Richard Hatch, who replaces Michel Douglas in the series' fifth season, is not in Back to the Streets of San Francisco, which drew good ratings.
*TSOTF was on ABC 5 seasons and 121 episodes.
*"The Takers" premiered December 2, 1972, on ABC at 10:00 P.M.
*This clip of B.A.D. Cats is in our playlist, and the full episode does feature Michael Lerner, but the clip does not. After you watch this, I believe you will forgive us for including it anyway:
*Vic Tayback appears in 3 episodes as Sergeant Norm Haseejian.
*The Coit Tower is an official landmark in San Francisco. It was built in the early Thirties in the Telegraph Hill section of the city.
*We strive to be givers, not "takers," and we hope we are succeeding this season!
*Patrick Williams composed the series' theme song.
*The John Davidson episode we mention is "The Mask of Death" from the third season.
*And finally, enjoy our official video playlist for this episode! It's loaded with promos, commercials, and all sorts of TV history! You'll even get glimpses of SF sports in 1972: The Giants, the Niners...and Roller Derby?
*And remember, you can always check out our official YouTube page for all of our past podcasts and episode-specific playlists for each one!
