Hey I am not a conspiracy guy!




It's just that ndspinelli and Meade seem to hang out together. A lot. What's up with that?

No, Os never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad

So please believe in me

The guy on the left looks kind of Italian, but the guy on the right isn't wearing a fleece pullover, so I dunno who's who in that pic.

Spinelli and Meade live 20 miles apart. Has any one ever seen them together?

I recall they each had their own shows and PI gigs. Did they ever meet up on air like Green Acres and Petticoat Junction did?

Barnaby Jones and Cannon were both Quim Martin productions.

What else is not kosher here?

I remember seeing a reference somewhere to this show a while ago. So maybe their on-air meet-up came when they were mere boys.

*Quinn* Martin, my dear El Pollo Real, and also did you not ask me to nag you just the other day if I found you playing around online? Sheesh. Did you think I'd be too chicken to comply with your request? LOL. I think not. XXOO

Quoting from Gatsby's a lot more fun when it's not random. Consider this passage, from Ch. 4:

“I’ll tell you God’s truth.” His right hand suddenly ordered divine retribution to stand by. “I am the son of some wealthy people in the Middle West — all dead now. I was brought up in America but educated at Oxford, because all my ancestors have been educated there for many years. It is a family tradition.”

He looked at me sideways — and I knew why Jordan Baker had believed he was lying. He hurried the phrase “educated at Oxford,” or swallowed it, or choked on it, as though it had bothered him before. And with this doubt, his whole statement fell to pieces, and I wondered if there wasn’t something a little sinister about him, after all.

“What part of the Middle West?” I inquired casually.

“San Francisco.”


Yes, Titus, you are Gatsbyesque.

I was in Middleton and Waunakee yesterday, the stomping grounds of two veteran commenters. Both have grown significantly since I moved here in 1984. Fuck me..that's almost 30 years!!

I've been watching reruns of The Streets of SF, "A Quinn Martin production." I plan on getting the bio of him TY has referenced. I'm currently reading The Baseball Trust. It's a history of the antitrust exemption for MLB, written by a UCLA law prof.
