Flashback: the men of "Adam 12" in their prime...
AfterElton.com ran an item today about Hulu, a site where you can see old TV shows. It singles out a re-imagining of "Adam 12," the 1970s cop show that starred an impossibly gorgeous Kent McCord. The update revolved around two hunky young cops, (Peter Parros and Ethan Wayne) and the AfterElton writer describes an episode he watched was called Gay Bashing: It had the boys in blue investigate a series of assaults on gay men (with side stories about stripped cars and...a nudist club). What surprised me was that the show went out of its way to be as sensitive as possible, not resorting to stereotypical gay characters (for the most part), and having the leads remark repeatedly how wrong and unfair the assaults were.
To read the entire post , go to AfterElton.com. And I thank that great site for finding two pics of Kent (and on-screen partner Martin Milner) that I didn't have! Can you see why Kent was my first crush?

I read an article on Kent McCord recently. I was happy to read that he and Martin Milner were great friends off the set and still are.
Hubba-hubba!
I vote Liza.
Although she never played the part… she sang most of the songs and her mother was everyone’s first choice for the movie.
The part was and is so her.
