The CBS Late Show intro took me back. I used to watch the 11:00 o'clock news, Carson, and then The Late Show. Until Mom came home at 2:30, when the bar closed, and I would pretend I was asleep. Remember the short lived "Men" with Robert Conrad?

I remember McGarrett. CBS tried but failed with this one. The old crew from 5-0 were gone and while William Smith was a versatile actor he was not enough to sustain the show. Jack Lord looked like he was ready to "stop the wave." It had been almost 15 years playing the same character complete with an unbelievable pompodour(sp) that never moved no matter how hard he stared, ran, sweat, and fought, with only a few wisps of hair waving in the wind and super tight lips. The longer a show is on the more likely plots will become ridiculous and repetitious. Woe Fat could only do so much. Lord and pros like him are sorely missed today.
