Yeah, but the storylines... the storylines!!!
My God man! What are ya doin' ta me!
Not that Knight Rider's not much better, but here's one storyline...
Cab Company A is trying to drive Cab Company B outta business...
So BA spends half the ep piecing together a little electronic gizmo to 'read
the code' at the head honcho's front gate.
They sneak thru, see, all quiet like...
And then bash thru to get out...
What, pray tell, was the point of all that sneaking?
The building of plated tanks 'n such--always a good thing, but the stories!!
The horror!!!
That said, I'll watch anything with George "I love it when a plan comes
together" Peppard. I just may not sit thru it all.

I take TTC in, and it'll be in a shopping bag--not too big--I was just going
for a WW reference there.
Of course, I could put a shirt and pants on it and hold it in my arms like
it's a 2 year old kid--that'd work just fine.
